Dr. McDaniel invited to serve on editorial board of Southeastern Geographer

KENNESAW, Ga. (Mar 27, 2020) — Dr. Paul N. McDaniel was recently invited to serve on the Editorial Board for the journal Southeastern Geographer. Published since 1961, Southeastern Geographer is the peer-reviewed journal of the Southeastern Division of the American Association of Geographers (SEDAAG). SEDAAG is a regional subdivision of the American Association of Geographers, representing approximately 500 members in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. Established in 1947, SEDAAG exists to advance investigations in geography and to encourage the application of geographic findings in education, government, and business. The Division supports these objectives by organizing an annual academic conference (traditionally held in November); publishing a quarterly peer-reviewed journal (Southeastern Geographer); granting honors to faculty in recognition of excellence in teaching, service, and research; hosting educational and professional development workshops; and supporting student paper and poster awards and a World Geography Bowl competition.

Southeastern Geographer is one of the premier regional journals in geography. The journal has historically served an important role in the discipline by publishing a broad range of research with emphasis on work concerning the American South. Building on its history as a regional journal, the journal publishes geographic research, including articles, research notes, and book reviews, that engages with conditions and events in “the south,” broadly construed, as they relate to conditions and events that extend over broader geographical reaches. The journal invites scholarship highlighting the social, cultural, economic, and political diversity and broad climate and ecosystem variability that links “the south” to processes, flows, and conditions that extend across the country, continent, and globe.

McDaniel has previously published in Southeastern Geographer (in 2009 and 2018) and has provided multiple peer-reviews for the journal.
