The 13th Annual Meeting of the Arbeitskreis Südasien of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für
Geographie (DGfG) will take place on February 3^rd and 4^th  2023 at the Centre for Econics and Ecosystem Management at University for Sustainable Development Eberswalde (HNEE).

The annual meeting provides a space to exchange about ongoing projects, research results and
methodological challenges of geographers and scientists from neighbouring disciplines
working on South Asia. It will serve as a platform for intradisciplinary and interdisciplinary exchange about current developments in the diverse and rapidly changing South Asian region.
The event aims to address scholars as well as practitioners and teachers, whose focus of work
and interest lies in South Asia. Contributions from Physical Geography and Human Geography
are equally welcome, so are contributions from neighbouring disciplines. Although pandemic restrictions have gradually lifted in the previous year, we understand that fieldwork abroad may still be limited. Therefore we explicitly welcome conceptual papers, papers discussing developments in South Asia based on secondary data and contributions regarding the future of geographical work in the region are explicitly.

Please send abstracts with a maximum of 400 words to Mehwish Zuberi by October 15^th, 2022. The annual meeting’s lingua franca is English.

The meeting is primarily planned as an in-person event, but for those facing travel difficulties or other restrictions, we will enable online participation through a limited hybrid format. We hope to restore the AK annual meeting as a physical space to connect and reconnect with peers working in the field of geography in South Asia.  Nevertheless, should the situation of the pandemic require so, we reserve the right to conduct the meeting completely online. A final decision will be communicated four weeks prior to the event.

It is possible for paper contents to be published in the form of an extended abstract in the
conference proceedings. This will be published in the series of papers of the Arbeitskreis.

Die neunte Jahrestagung des Arbeitskreises Südasien in der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Geographie (DGfG) findet am 25. und 26. Januar 2019 an der Universität Heidelberg statt. Die Jahrestagung wird von der Abteilung Geographie am Südasien-Institut und dem Heidelberg Center for the Environment (HCE) ausgerichtet.

Ziel der Jahrestagung ist es, aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse, -ansätze und -projekte aus der gesamten Bandbreite der Geographie Südasiens zu diskutieren. Sie bietet eine Plattform für den intra- und interdisziplinären Dialog über aktuelle Entwicklungen in der diversen und sich rapide wandelnden Region Südasien. Die Veranstaltung richtet sich an Wissenschaftler*innen, aber auch Praktiker*innen und Lehrer*innen deren regionaler Arbeits- bzw. Interessensschwerpunkt in Südasien liegt. Eingeladen sind gleichermaßen Vertreter der Physischen Geographie und der Humangeographie sowie Interessierte aus Nachbardisziplinen.

Vortragsangebote senden Sie bitte in Form einer kurzen Zusammenfassung von maximal 400 Wörtern bis zum 15.10.2017 an Judith Müller (judith.mueller@uni-heidelberg.de). Die Tagungssprache ist Deutsch, Vorträge können jedoch auch auf Englisch gehalten werden.
