Thanks Detroit. It was great. #AAG2025
Did you present your research on critical political geography? Why not submit to my editors? Here's how: journals.sagepub.com/home/epc
A large mural of a smiling Stevie Wonder sitting at two keyboards, wearing a red jacket over a light grey DETROIT t-shirt. People in the Detroit Institute of the Arts' Rivera Court looking at one wall of Diego Rivera's Detroit Industry murals towering above them. The interior of Detroit's Guardian Building, looking spectacular. A view of Detroit's downtown at night, with the Penobscot Building in the right distance, with it's red neon beacon on top.

Jamon Jordan Detroit's official historian gave an excellent city tour today-part of the #AAG2025 Political Geog Specialty Group's pre-conference. Jamon spoke on Detroit's rich Black history. My eds were happy to contribute funding to the tour. #geosky #academicsky detourdetroiter.com/jamon-jordan...
Jamon Jordan speaks about Detroit's Black history to participants in the AAG Political Geography Specialty Group's tour of the city today. Jamon stands to the right, by a monument to the city's Black history, speaking to a group of geographers, gathered to the left.
