This workshop will bring together geographers and scholars from other disciplines to discuss issues of race and geography in the United States. The workshop has four objectives: (1) to identify key topics in need of further study and to reinvigorate research activity in these areas; (2) to cultivate cross-disciplinary research on race relations that involves specialists from many fields and backgrounds; (3) to publish a comprehensive report that sets the agenda for future research; and (4) to increase minority presence and status in the discipline. The overall intent is to promote a broader and deeper geographical appreciation of American race relations and inequalities.
