The 2023 meeting is set to mark the first in-person conference since 2019 and offers a critical opportunity to reinvigorate our disciplinary engagements and commitments. With this in mind, this year’s theme is Territory, Place, and Power. From global pandemic(s) and physical/social distancing requirements, climate emergencies and energy transitions, calls for decolonization and land back, to secessionist movements, wars of aggression and forced migrations, a theme of Territory, Place, and Power invites us to reflect on our relationships with territory and land, to reimagine our conceptions of place and belonging, and to interrogate the role of power in how we navigate these relations and spaces in a time of global tumult.
