As an alum of the 2018 SIEG in Ghent and now a local organizer of the 2026 Toronto edition, I can say this is an incredible opportunity for early-career scholars to learn, connect, and collaborate within the economic geography community.

Apply by Dec 22 and see you in Toronto next year!

What distinguished him from other socialists was that he did not sidestep or ignore conservative criticisms of Marxism. Rather, he took them head-on to reconstruct sociology.

Shaina Potts has written a brilliant & incredibly timely book about law, capital, and American empire.

I tried to do justice to it in this review essay (which hopefully will lead you to the book itself):
How the US Courts Rewrote the Rules of International Trade
Shaina Potts’s Judicial Territory examines how the American legal system created an economic environment that subordinated the entire world to domestic business interests.
