Since its emergence in the late twentieth century, the HIV/AIDS virus has caused one of the longest-lasting and deadliest pandemics in human history.[1] This pandemic has had vastly different fates across the world, shaping the image of whole continents (Africa),[2] animating identitarian movements (gay and lesbian movements in the US, the UK, and Western Europe),[3] or facing silence in the public discourse (socialist and post-socialist countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia).[4]

CFP: Problematizing “Eurasia”: 2025 Detroit Pre-Conference to the American Association of Geographers (AAG)

Deadline: December 15, 2024

2025 Detroit Pre-Conference to the American Association of Geographers (AAG)
March 22 & 23, 2025
Organizers: Evangeline McGlynn (Harvard), Ariel Otruba (Virginia Tech), Kate Shields (Rhodes College), and Megan Dixon (College of Idaho)

Since the escalation of Russia’s war in Ukraine in 2022, scholars working on the post-Soviet world have begun critical conversations reflecting on the dominance of Russian centered scholarship in the field.

Previous attempts at renaming the region, for example, the 2016 renaming of the “Russian, Central Eurasian, and East European” specialty group as the “Eurasian” specialty group, sought to include colleagues working in the post-Soviet peripheries and build bridges beyond the former Soviet world. While within AAG, renaming the group originally led to productive conversations across regional divisions; these larger engagements were fleeting.
