Description: The objective of this award is to advance diversity and promote inclusive spaces and interest in the field of Energy Geography. In recognizing and acknowledging inequities manifest in contemporary social circumstances, particularly academic settings, the Energy and Environment Specialty Group of the American Association of Geographers welcomes and encourages submissions from anyone who identifies as a member of a diverse population. We recognize the concept of diversity is broad, complex, and dynamic; and are particularly interested in submissions from traditionally underrepresented populations. An award decision will likely be announced by November 4th, 2022.

Amount: $400, which is intended to cover AAG Conference Registration and AAG Membership
