The Forty-Seventh Meeting: Louisville, Kentucky

Southeastern Geographer Vol. XXXIII, No. 1, May 1993, pp. 122-123 THE FORTY-SEVENTH MEETING: LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY Vernon Meentemeyer The forty-seventh meeting of the Southeastern Division of the Association of American Geographers was held at the Holiday Inn Downtown , Louisville, Kentucky, 22-24 November, 1992. The 1992 meeting coincided with Kentucky's 200th anniversary. Dennis L. Spetz and David A. Howarth from the University of Louisville, served as co-chairs ofthe Local Arrangements Committee. In spite ofthe peripheral location of Louisville relative to the Division, attendance was again high. Attendees included 161 regular members, 140 students and 10 spouses. The 1992 program included two guided field trips, meetings of the Editorial Committee of The Southeastern Geographer, the Committee on the Status of Women in Geography, the Committee on Geography in Education, Steering and Executive Committee meetings as well as the annual business meeting. Activities Sunday evening included an opening session titled, "Louisville Rediscovers the River" conducted by Kentucky state senator David Karem. The evening concluded with a reception titled, "Kentucky Birthday Party." The Committee on Southern Map Librarians (COSMAL) met this year in conjunction with SEDAAG. The COSMAL program included workshops, a tour and a reception; COSMAL activities add richness and diversity to the SEDAAG program. Sixty-seven papers were submitted for the regular (54), student honors (11) and GTU undergraduate paper sessions (2). Sixty-three papers were presented, which is just two less than the 65 papers presented at Asheville, North Carolina in 1991. The number ofhonors papers (11) was the same as in 1991, but only two undergraduate papers were presented. Nine regular paper sessions were organized by topical area, and three special sessions were organized by SEDAAG members: "New Research on the Spatiality of Women's Lives" was organized by Karen F. Falconer ; "Peopling of the Landscape," Edward Davis and Randi Horner; and Malcolm Cutchin organized, "Diversifying Geographic Methods." In 1991 only one special session was organized. In addition, two sessions were devoted to panel discussions organized by Howard G. Johnson and Dr. Meentemeyer is Professor of Geography at the University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602. Vol. XXXIII, No. 1 123 W. Theodore Mealor, Jr., titled, "Challenges and Responses: The Future of Geography in Higher Education." As in 1991 and 1990, no Southern Studies plenary session was organized , although four papers with a southern focus were combined into a Southern Studies session. The Committee on the Status of Women in Geography conducted a panel discussion titled, "Surviving the First Years: Issues for New Women Faculty." A special workshop, "Project GEOSIM: A GIS-Based Simulation Laboratory for Introductory Geography " was conducted by Laurence W. Carstensen, Jr., and Robert W. Morrill. Thanks should be given to SEDAAG members who volunteered to produce special sessions, panel discussions, and workshops. Members of the Program Committee should be given a special commendation for their serious review of papers and timely responses. The proportion of authors who submitted papers on diskette increased to over 40%. In future calls for papers, the membership should expect to be asked for diskettes; it eases greatly the work of the program chair and permits a higher-quality printed program. A major, nagging problem persists, however—the insufficient number ofvolunteers to discuss papers. Fully one third of all papers were without a discussant after the papers were accepted. Please consider volunteering to serve as a paper discussant for the 1993 meeting. The World Geography Bowl was again a success; Georgia was a firsttime winner ofthe coveted "Bowl." A special thanks should be directed to the many people who prepared questions and served as moderators, organizers, judges, and scorekeepers. The Forty-Seventh meeting concluded on Tuesday with the Honors Luncheon. Julian Minghi, Chair of the Honors Committee, announced that Robert Beavers, Georgia State University, received the award for best masters degree level paper and Daniel Sui, University of Georgia, the doctoral level award. Jeanne D. Wershoven from Florida Atlantic was the recipient of the Merle C. Prunty Scholarship. The Outstanding Service Award was presented to Stanley Brunn for his years of unselfish service to SEDAAG, and Clifton Pannell was presented the award for Outstanding Research. The meeting concluded with the Honors Address , "New Horizons for Geography: The Transition...

A nők tanulmányozása a földrajzban, avagy: van-e létjogosultsága a feminista geográfiának Magyarországon.

The geography of gender, and its different versions, like geography of women and feminist geography, have become into the frontline of the profession in many countries of the world recently. The publications in feminist geography, coming out in increasing numbers since the end of the 1960s, highlighted the different aspects of the relationship between men and women, their different social role and the transformation of the cultural landscape. Similar to other East-Central European countries, this type of researches has not been carried out by geographers in Hungary until now. However, those sociologists and economists, who recognized the role of the relationship between men and women in transforming the society did not investigate the space-transforming effects of this relationship. For this reason, this short study tries to answer the following questions:

Report on the Fifty-Second Annual Meeting

122ASSOCIATION OF PACIFIC COAST GEOGRAPHERS REPORT ON THE FIFTY-SECOND ANNUAL MEETING Davis, California September 9-12, 1987 According to figures compiled by ourselves and by outgoing President Lay Gibson, the 50th annualmeeting ofthe APCG, held atthe University ofCalifornia, Davis, September 9-12, 1987, had just under the all-time record for number of registrants, set at Los Angeles in 1985 (171 vs. 173), and well ahead of any other previous APCG meeting. A considerable number of nonregistrants also were in evidence. Fifty-seven people presented papers in 15 sessions, coming from Canada and Australia, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, and Ohio, as well as from all the APCG states. There were five other major talks, a discussion on women in geography, and a workshop on National Science Foundation funding. The Central Valley climate cooperated to provide pleasantly warm days and cool nights; the UCD Housing Office offered an opportunity for participants to relive their dormitory days; and Food Services catered to the Inner Man and Woman. Three alternative field trips were available on Thursday, the 10th. UCD's Debbie Elliott-Fisk and CSU Hayward's Don Holtgrieve led a group to the Napa Valley, where the viticultural landscape was viewed in its physical-geographic context; field testing ofthe product ofthe grape was part ofthe experience. UCD's Dennis Dingemans (Local Arrangements Chairman), herded a busload plus a vanload around rural and small-town Yolo County, taking in organic and other farms, historic buidings, and the like; unfortunately, time did not permit the projected pause at the Rainbow Worm Farm. Robin Datei (UCD) and CSU Sacramento's Tim Hallinan regaled a vanfull ofgeographers with both the grit and the glitter of central city Sacramento, from the Port, where beet-pulp pellets are exported, to the Holy Myrrh Bearing Women [Russian] Orthodox Church in America. Saturday morning, Dennis Dingemans and Steve Jett led an intime walking and driving tour of Davis. A 52-page Field Excursions Guidebook was issued to all registrants. Afterregistration andaninformalreception Wednesday afternoon anddinner on the town, the on-campus program began with the Opening Session, emceed by ProgramChairman SteveJett. ViceChancellorforUniversityRelationsLawrence Shepard gave the official welcome, followed by presentations on the "Central Valley and American Agriculture" by Dennis Dingemans, Howard Gregor, and Steering Committee Chairman Marlyn Shelton. YEARBOOK · VOLUME 50 · 1988123 The first halfofThursday morning and most ofFriday were devoted to paper sessions-onurban/economic/socialgeography, cultural andhistorical geography, agricultural andresource geography, geomorphology, climate and water, hazards, andenvironmental andecological geography. Two special sessions may be noted: atwo-partconclaveentitled "Looking atWomen," organizedbyMargaretTrussell (CSU Chico), and an exceptionally impressive session put together by students of UC Berkeley's Jim Parsons, on environmental exploitation in the history of the American West. A 16-page booklet ofabstracts ofpapers was edited by Steve Jett. Thursday evening's climax was an outdoor barbecue at Putah Creek Lodge, enlivened by a local "do-wah" quintet called "Full House." A more serious-but still convivial-atmosphere characterized Friday's Awards Luncheon; UCD Dean of Letters and Science Leon Mayhew made opening remarks, followed by a particularly cogent talk by the National Science Foundation's Ron Abler, on present and future NSF funding for geographical research. Friday afternoon saw open houses at the homes ofUCD faculty members Steve Jett, Dennis Dingemans and Robin Datei, and UCD alumna Patti Johnson. The evening was topped offby the Banquet, attractively laid out at the Faculty Club and highlighted by a lively Presidential Address, "Restructuring the Landscape" (in two Arizona towns) by Lay Gibson. APCG Vice President Bill Loy announced that UCD's Howard Gregor and CSU Chico's Dave Lantis were being given awards for distinguished service to the Association, and that the President's Award for the best graduatestudent paper presented would go to Teresa Bulman ofUCD, who had discussed the human role in the fortunes ofeucalypts in California. Finally, Sonoma State's Bill Crowley read the traditionally humorous Resolution of Appreciation (coauthored by wags Larry Ford and Carl Johannessen). Some excerpts: WHEREAS the Department of Geography at the University of California, Davis, has willingly invited, smoothly organized, and graciously hosted the 1987 meetings of the Association of Pacific Coast Geographers, and WHEREAS MeetingChairMarlynShelton,ProgramChairStephen Jett, and Local Arrangements Chair Dennis...

Phenomenon of the Seventies: The Women's Caucuses

Though whatever may be written now concerning women's caucuses will be out of date by the time of publication, it is still useful to mention their origins, evolution, and mission. Before there were women's caucuses, there were scientific societies. As in Europe, the learned scientific societies in the United States began as fraternities of men in a particular discipline, who joined them to present their discoveries and data to their peers, to mingle in a special world, and to acquire reputation and prestige. As women entered the scientific professions, a few were elected to membership, but they remained outside the inner echelons of the executive councils, standing committees, and editorial boards of the societies. The activist women's caucuses emerged in the seventies as an outgrowth of the women's movement of the sixties (see table 1). One might argue that the women's caucus predated the seventies, because the American Chemical Society has had a Women Chemists Committee for just over fifty years. However, before the seventies, this committee did not resemble a women's advocacy caucus in the modern feminist sense but described itself as a women's service committee, with limited objectives largely determined by the parent organization. Similarly, the Society of Women Engineers (1950) and the Society of Women Geographers (1925) brought women scientists together but did not address the problems causing their isolation. One of the first of the scientific women's activist organizations was the Association for Women in Science (AWIS). From the start, it de-
