2025 conference theme
Current global tensions are dramatically reshaping the global, political, economic, and urban landscape. As East Asia increasingly finds itself at the forefront of what is now considered a permanent polycrisis, there is an urgent need to come to terms with its socio-spatial consequences, which span a variety of scales, including military escalation, infrastructural realignment, energy transition, AI technology, re/de-urbanisation, temporary to permanent migration, employment restructuring, new solidarity structures/care infrastructures, and the politics of everyday life. To address these pressing issues, we call for expanded perspectives on territorial justice that include (but are not limited to) key themes, such as:
Critical geopolitics and theories on the state
Economic geographies, supply chains, and infrastructure development
Climate crises, energy transition, and extractivism
Perspectives on East Asian geographies
AI, big data, and cyberspace
Gender politics and emancipation
Urban-rural theories, tourist spaces, and megaprojects
Migration, ethnicity, and social diversity
Spaces of religion and morality
Politics of care and place-based solidarities
Radicalism and precarity
Social reproduction and practices of everyday life
