Annals of the Association of American Geographers
2014 Special Issue: Migration
The Annals of the Association of American Geographers invites abstracts of papers to be considered for a special issue on Migration. This will be the sixth of a series of annual special issues that highlight the work of geographers around a significant global theme. Papers are sought from a broad spectrum of scholars who address social, cultural, political, environmental, economic, theoretical, and methodological issues focused on human migration. These include geographical research in such areas as immigration, migration, transnationalism, forced migration, and diaspora studies. Abstracts of no more than 250 words should be submitted by February 1, 2012, to mlecea@aag.org. Final papers will be due on November 1, 2012, for publication in 2014. Papers will have a target maximum length of 5,000 words, with a smaller limit if a large number of tables and/or figures are included. All submitted papers will be subject to full peer review. All papers published in the 2014 Special Issue will later be published (by Taylor & Francis) as an edited book.
