PhD candidate Sahar Khaleel and Associate Professor of City and Regional Planning Bernadette Hanlon presented their research on gentrification-induced displacement to the suburbs at the 2023 American Association of Geographers annual meeting. 

This year’s AAG meeting theme is “Towards More Just Geographies.” Khaleel and Hanlon presented Sunday, March 26th, 2023 alongside several other professors from across the world. 

In recognition of the urgency, centrality, and interdependence of equity, inclusion, diversity, and justice within our discipline and in the world, AAG invites abstracts, panels, posters, and discussions that examine the spatial dimensions, scope, and scale of racial and social justice, as well as obstacles to its realization. We welcome presentations and sessions that will confront injustice in its many forms, offer ways to embrace and support diversity, and contribute to a welcoming environment for all. In recognition that these concepts extend beyond the human realm and across the breadth of geographical study, we welcome presentations that examine ecologies and habitats through the lens of inclusiveness, equity, diversity, and justice.
