The Capillary Critical Geography Network is organizing its second conference on May 8th & 9th, 2025. The network brings together scholars from across the greater St. Lawrence River region. Its aim is to foster connections, collaborations, and solidarity among critical geographers (and other geographically minded critical scholars) in this region. The biennial conference differs from national conferences in its focus on graduate students, post-docs, and early career scholars; its lower ecological impact; and its efforts to build connections that can be maintained more practically throughout the year (given their proximity). The “capillary” provides a metaphor for the often invisible channels that course through, connect, and energize the parts of a body or region – channels that we seek to recognize and activate. This year’s conference is hosted by Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) and has been organized by professors from universities across the region.
