In recognition of the location of AAG’s 2018 Annual Meeting in New Orleans, Southeastern Geographer offers free access to a Virtual Issue on Geographies of Louisiana. Since its founding in 1962, Southeastern Geographer has often published research on issues before they were the “hot-topics” of today, including racial segregation evident in residential neighborhoods, electoral geographies, Confederate monuments, and long-term weather patterns with implications for climate change. Papers selected from across several decades demonstrate some of the breadth of such work. Some of these focus on New Orleans, while others take a synoptic view to contextualize Louisiana in relation to more extensive geographies. AAG members are invited to browse these selections as background before travelling to New Orleans in April.
