Every year Urban Geography organises and supports two kinds of event:
Plenary Lectures: At the Annual Meeting of the American Association of Geographers we host a Plenary lecture alongside the Urban Geography Specialty Group (UGSG). These typically bring together three leading urban scholars to discuss a pressing theme in contemporary urban scholarship.
Workshops: Every year we offer a workshop award of up to $2,000 to support a seminar series, workshop, or similar event which brings together leading scholars to focus on a cutting-edge theme within Urban Geography.
