This award supports the 2023 Race, Ethnicity, and Place Conference (REP) and its pre-conference workshop. The biennial REP meetings bring together diverse groups of scholars to encourage and facilitate research in geography and related scientific disciplines. Through a focus on mapping as a tool for empowerment, especially among racial, ethnic, and other minorities, the 2023 REP pre-conference workshop examines justice and equity issues within the discipline. In addition to social science research and teaching, the conference and workshop seek to promote greater participation of historically underrepresented groups within the discipline of geography and to support the professional development of minority graduate students as well as early and mid-career faculty through mentoring, networking and program development.The REP 2023 conference advances research and teaching of mapping perspectives by recruiting a cadre of new scholars—geography graduate students and early and mid-career faculty—from a broad range of institutions (community colleges, liberal arts colleges, and research universities). The conference focuses especially on the role of mapping in representing and promoting diverse voices, experiences, and knowledge within the classroom, in research endeavors and through public pedagogy. Conference participants examine how cartography may be used in curricula, research and in the public realm as an important tool in recruiting students, future scholars, and other professionals from traditionally marginalized groups and to advance geography as an inclusive discipline that seeks to advance equity. The conference and workshop are vehicles for strengthening and disseminating knowledge regarding alternative research methods, to increase and strengthen resources available to underrepresented scholars, to support graduate students and to aid faculty to be better mentors. The conference integrates new participants through active recruitment and engagement, by designing strategic panels and keynotes to attract a broader audience, and by offering a pre-conference mentoring and professional-development workshop for early-career faculty and advanced graduate students, especially from underrepresented groups. Responding to national workforce needs, the conferences advances goals of training early-career scholars in cartographic skills and geospatial analysis. The conference and workshop also facilitate new collaborative relationships and sustainable networks across educational institutions, governments, and civil society organizations.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.

该奖项支持2023年的比赛，种族和场地会议（代表）及其会议前研讨会。两年一次的代表会议召集了众多学者团体，以鼓励和促进地理和相关科学学科的研究。通过将映射作为授权工具，尤其是在种族，种族和其他少数民族中，2023年代表会议前研讨会研究了该学科中的正义和公平问题。 In addition to social science research and teaching, the conference and workshop seek to promote greater participation of historically underrepresented groups within the discipline of geography and to support the professional development of minority graduate students as well as early and mid-career faculty through mentaling, networking and program development.The REP 2023 conference advances research and teaching of mapping perspectives by recruiting a cadre of new scholars—geography Graduate students and early and mid-career教师 - 从广泛的机构（社区学院，文科学院和研究大学）。会议尤其着重于映射在教室内，研究努力和通过公共教育学中代表和促进潜水员的声音，经验和知识中的作用。会议参与者研究了如何在课程，研究和公共领域中使用制图作为招募学生，未来学者和其他专业人员的重要工具，并从传统上边缘化的群体中招募了其他专业人员，并将地理位置作为一种旨在提高公平的包容性学科。会议和研讨会是加强和传播有关替代研究方法知识的工具，以增加和加强代表性不足的学者可用的资源，以支持研究生并帮助教师成为更好的导师。该会议通过设计战略小组和主题演讲来吸引更广泛的受众，并通过为早期职业教师和高级研究生提供了会议前的心理和专业发展研讨会，尤其是来自人物的人数不足的群体，从而通过积极的招聘和参与来整合新的参与者。为了满足国家劳动力需求，会议的促进了培训制图技能和地理空间分析的早期学者学者的目标。会议和研讨会还促进了跨教育机构，政府和民间社会组织之间的新的合作关系和可持续网络。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用该基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来评估，被认为是宝贵的支持。
