Some self-promotion here about two sessions that I am organising at the 5th Global Conference on Economic Geography happening next week in Cologne. The first is a panel session co-organised with Dariusz Wojcik, reflecting on key issues for economic geographers to consider as we approach the 10-year mark after the Global Financial Crisis. We had some last minute changes to speakers and the latest version of the conference programme does not reflect this yet.
