Notes

1. Two other plenary sessions also took place at the meeting. In one session, individuals who have close ties to geography, but are not academic geographers, offered comments on the discipline. The speakers were Gilbert Grosvenor (Past President and Chairman of the Board, National Geographic Society), Cynthia Enloe (Professor, Department of Political Science, Clark University), Jack Dangermond (President and Founder, ESRI), and Jeffrey Sachs (Director, Earth Institute, Columbia University). In the other session, prominent geographers offered comments on the challenge of raising geography's profile in public debate. The speakers were Harm de Blij (Michigan State University), Ruth Wilson Gilmore (University of California, Berkeley, and University of Southern California), Derek Gregory (University of British Columbia), and Billie Lee Turner (Clark University). Their remarks will be published in a forthcoming issue of Progress in Human Geography.
