This award will support the conduct of the 2018 Race, Ethnicity, and Place (REP) conference. REP is a biennial meeting that has brought together diverse groups of scholars to facilitate research on race and ethnicity in geography and has provided a critical gathering place of support and collaboration for underrepresented scholars. REP will catalyze new activities focusing on geographic, racial, and ethnic dimensions of social science research. More so than any other conference or community-wide activity in geography, REP explicitly brings together scholars who are members of underrepresented groups as well as scholars whose research involves the study of socioeconomic, cultural, and other dynamics within communities populated by people who are underrepresented in STEM fields. REP also will involve scholars from sociology, anthropology, and other related fields. REP will focus on building collaborative relationships among participating scholars to foster a broader range of activities that engage more students and other early-career professionals in STEM research. As such, REP will provide a test-bed for advancing scholarship on race, ethnicity, and place that requires participants to engage in discussions about different epistemological approaches and issues that can hinder or advance scholarship on this topic. Explicit efforts will be made to engage more scholars from underrepresented groups and to help them form stronger research networks to help enhance and improve their future capabilities. Through explicit attention to building bridges across research approaches and by providing active, ongoing intergenerational mentoring, REP will encourage more effective research on racial and ethnic dimensions of social science research in geography and related fields.Diversifying the involvement of individuals engaged in all types of work and activity remains a major challenge in higher education. To directly address this challenge in geography and related fields, the 2018 REP conference will be held in mid-October at the Mexican American Cultural Center (MAC) in Austin, Texas. The conference will integrate new participants through active recruitment and engagement; by designing strategic panels and keynotes to attract a broader audience, and by offering a post-conference mentoring and professional-development workshop for early-career faculty and advanced graduate students from underrepresented groups. Special emphasis will be given to examining complex issues of race and ethnicity through cross-disciplinary collaborations that integrate a range of theoretical, ontological, epistemological, and methodological approaches across multiple scales of analysis. This award will support early career researchers from underrepresented groups to participate in the 2018 REP Conference and thus integrate new generations of scholars into the meetings.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项将支持2018年种族，种族和地点（代表）会议的行为。 REP是一次两年一次的会议，将各种各样的学者汇集在一起​​，以促进地理学中的种族和种族研究，并为代表性不足的学者提供了一个关键的聚会场所。 代表将催化重点是社会科学研究的地理，种族和种族层面的新活动。 代表比任何其他会议或社区范围的活动都更重要的是，明确地汇集了这些学者是代表性不足的群体成员以及学者，他们的研究涉及研究社会经济，文化和其他动态的研究，这些社区中人群中人群中人数不足的人群中人数不足。 代表还将涉及社会学，人类学和其他相关领域的学者。 代表将专注于在参与学者之间建立协作关系，以促进更广泛的活动，这些活动使更多的学生和其他早期职业专业人员参与STEM研究。 因此，代表将提供一项测试床，以促进种族，种族和地点的奖学金，要求参与者就可以阻碍或提高该主题的奖学金的不同认识论方法和问题进行讨论。 将要做出明确的努力，以吸引更多代表性群体的学者，并帮助他们建立更强大的研究网络，以帮助增强和提高未来的能力。 通过明确关注跨研究方法的建筑桥梁，通过提供积极的，持续的代际指导，REP将鼓励对地理和相关领域的社会科学研究的种族和种族维度进行更有效的研究。导致参与各种工作和活动的个人的参与仍然是高等教育的主要挑战。 为了直接应对地理和相关领域的这一挑战，2018年代表会议将于10月中旬在德克萨斯州奥斯汀的墨西哥裔美国文化中心（MAC）举行。 会议将通过积极招募和参与来整合新的参与者；通过设计战略小组和主题演讲以吸引更广泛的受众，并为早期职业教师和来自代表性不足的团体的早期职业教师和高级研究生提供会议后的指导和专业发展研讨会。 通过跨学科的合作，将特别强调研究种族和种族的复杂问题，这些合作整合了多个分析范围的一系列理论，本体论，认识论和方法论方法。 该奖项将支持来自代表性不足的团体的早期职业研究人员参加2018年的代表会议，从而将新一代的学者纳入会议。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响审查标准通过评估来进行评估的。
