"Today, when I look at the empty teaching podium in the hall, I realize that Israel did not just kill a geography teacher, but assassinated a “compass” that was guiding us toward our homeland. He taught us how to see in geography a face of truth."

Congratulations to @geogboycott.bsky.social for this win!!! Unfortunately, like the ASA, the AAG has chosen to block democractic procedures for a vote on an academic boycott. @asanews.bsky.social and AAG, let us vote!

What is the history of member-driven change in the AAG? Our archival research has shown that member-driven political activity has been common in AAG's history, including struggles around the Equal Rights Amendment; the US funding of contras in Nicaragua; and nuclear proliferation and war.

"Western institutions marshalled all...academic and digital repression against grassroots witnessing, unsuccessfully so far...the latest functions of a “geographic violence” that requires the myth of absolute distance between the West and the Other to obscure the proximity of colonial warfare."

in advance of the upcoming "special meeting," we've updated our website with three extensive "FAQ" pages concerning the academic boycott of Israel, the grounds for BDS in AAG, and addressing potential concerns. we've learned a lot on, for instance, the history of member-driven change in AAG.
A website tab describing "What is the history of member-driven change within the AAG? What can we learn from these processes?"

Our archival research has shown that member-driven political activity was quite common in the AAG’s history. In the 1970s and 1980s, it was fairly common for AAG members to circulate resolutions, and members cast votes on these resolutions by mail-in ballot. These included resolutions on support for the Equal Rights Amendment (1978) and against nuclear war (1986). Interestingly for our campaign, the AAG briefly ratified the position that it would affirmatively boycott any state which had not passed the ERA, a move that council understood as participation in “economic sanctions” (AAG newsletter 1978 issue 10). Even earlier, in 1969 the AAG convention was moved from Chicago to Ann Arbor in protest of the actions that took place during the 1968 Democratic Party convention.
