Title: Bill Wood Commemorative Session III: The New AGS Bowman Expeditions
Description: The third of three sessions dedicated to the memory of the late
William B. Wood, former State Department Geographer/Geographer of the United
States. Presenters include colleagues and students from US and foreign universities
in a project inspired by Bill's vision of geography and foreign policy. These
sessions comprise part of a broader effort to publish a festschrift volume
of commemorative essays organized according to themes of geographic research
that reflect and honor Bill's lifetime work, achievements, and legacy and
include initiatives and innovations inspired by Bill's vision and leadership.
The third session discusses the concept, results, and policy implications
of Bowman Expeditions that combine GIS, open-source intelligence, and fieldwork
to improve geographic understanding of foreign lands and peoples and improve
foreign policy making.
