#13: Sarah A Radcliffe - Question re site of IGU conference 

 Thanks a lot Sarah!  The scenario that you are frightening is already here. Two universities have already withdrawal their participation because of the venue, which is a pity because they belong to the more critical geographical spaces; there you find for instance gender and sexuality studies (which of course military cartographers in charge of the organisation can’t even spell), a lot of women, young people, in sum the most interesting expressions of the ‘new’ Chilean Geography. What could have been a fantastic opportunity for Chilean geographers to meet colleagues from all over the world is turning into a slap in the face for many Chilean colleagues. It is shameful! Many, many thanks for your support everybody!
