On 1 March 2022, we moderated a series of sessions at the Annual Meeting of the AAG on the Digital Growth Machine. Each session yielded a number of suggested “further readings” which we collected here. As promised, here are the citations culled from the chat.
Special thanks to Luis Alvarez León and Jovanna Rosen, who develop the digital growth machine in a forthcoming article in the Annals of the American Association of Geographers. Thank you as well to our excellent discussants who put forth a number of the citations here; in order of appearance, they were John Stehlin, Emma Slager, Katie Wells and Kafui Attoh. Thanks are also due to Agnieszka Leszczynski and Renee Sieber for their provocations throughout the day.
