Invisibilities in Population-Environment Research, International Geographical Union (IGU) 2022, 18-22 July 2022, Paris, France

A panel on “Invisibilities In Population-Environment Research: Exploring The Role, The Processes And The Implications For Marginalised People And Places” at the 2022 IGU Centennial Congress organised in Paris between July 18 and July 22 2022 will be hosted by Drs. Marion Borderon and Raya Muttarak.  

The panel seeks to gather conceptual or empirical research papers which review invisibilities linked to marginalization of people and places in population and geographical studies or use invisibility to explore the possible biases in the current understanding of the population-environment nexus. Papers may focus on specific populations (homeless, the elderly, irregular migrants, LGBTQ+, sex workers, indigenous groups, among others) or sub-fields of research (i.e., environmental migration, climate-health, food security...). By focusing explicitly on the issue of invisibility in population-environment research, the panel expects to raise awareness and set a priority to include marginalized subpopulations in research practices.

For questions, contact the panel organizers:
Chair: Marion Borderon, University of Vienna, Austria (marion.borderon@univie.ac.at) 
Co-chair: Raya Muttarak, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, Austria (muttarak@iiasa.ac.at)

The deadline for the abstract proposals is 11 January 2022, without extension.
