Conference: 2016 Summer Institute in Economic Geography

经济地理暑期学院将汇集来自世界各地的40名高级研究生和早期职业学者，以及一小群国际知名的教师，以促进经济地理领域的学术，理解和知识创造。会议的密集性将使与会者能够评估该领域的最新发展，确定主要问题和挑战，并共同为下一代学者和教育工作者制定未来的研究议程。这个项目发生在对全球经济的现状和未来前景以及美国在其中的地位普遍存在不确定性的时候。在汇集初级学者和国际知名教师的扩展网络中，讨论的深度和严谨性将进一步发展旨在更好地了解全球经济动态的合作研究，为地方、国家和国际环境中的政策制定提供信息，并为我们对当代全球经济特征的波动性的知识和理解提供信息。该活动将专业发展和学术探究独特地结合在一起，以该领域的突破性问题为导向。要解决的问题包括：金融创新和波动的影响评估;全球经济增长与环境之间不断演变的关系;使学术工作与政策和决策有关;研究道德，筹资战略和方法实践的新发展;研究密集型职业规划;出版和传播战略;学术研究与教学，服务，教育的有效衔接。该活动将为杰出的国际早期职业学者和教育工作者提供培训和专业准备，为深化专业网络和研究与教学新合作奠定基础。在经济决策环境面临重大挑战和国际竞争持续加剧的时候，夏季经济地理研究所的重点是建立新一代研究人员的共享和个人能力，他们的经验表明他们将在未来十年成为该领域的领导者。

The Summer Institute in Economic Geography will bring together 40 advanced graduate students and early career scholars from around the world with a small group of internationally renowned faculty to advance scholarship, understanding and knowledge creation in the field of economic geography. The intensive nature of the meeting will enable the participants to assess state-of-the-art developments in the field, to identify major questions and challenges, and to collectively shape the future research agenda for the next generation of scholars and educators. This project takes place at a time of widespread uncertainty about the current state and future prospects of the global economy and the place of the United States within it. In bringing together an extended network of junior scholars and internationally renowned faculty the depth and rigor of the discussions will further the development of collaborative research designed to better understand the dynamics of the global economy, inform policy making in local, national and international contexts and inform our knowledge and understanding of the volatility that is the hallmark of the contemporary global economy.The event involves a unique blend of professional development and scholarly inquiry, with an orientation to breaking issues in the field. Topics to be addressed include: assessments of the implications of financial innovation and volatility; the evolving relationship between global economic growth and the environment; making academic work relevant to policy and policy-making; research ethics, funding strategies, and new developments in methodological practice; planning for research-intensive careers; strategies for publication and dissemination; and the effective linkage of academic research to teaching, service, and education. The event will provide training and professional preparation for a distinguished, international group of early-career scholars and educators, providing foundations for the deepening of professional networks and for new collaborations in research and teaching. At a time of significant challenges in the economic policymaking environment and the continued intensification of international competition, the Summer Institute in Economic Geography is focused on building the shared and individual capacities of a new generation of researchers, who experience shows will themselves become leaders in the field over the coming decade.
