Marie Price

Marie Daly Price is an American geographer, author and specialist in international affairs. Price has been president of the American Geographical Society since 2016, the first female to hold the role. She is co-author of two textbooks on World Geography, as well as over sixty articles in peer-reviewed journals, twelve chapters in anthologies, and two other books.

Education A native Californian, Price is the daughter of Ted G. Price and Marie P. Dowd. She graduated from Thousand Oaks High School and then graduated Phi Beta Kappa from University of California, Berkeley, with an undergraduate degree in geography. Price has held various leadership roles while at George Washington University, including Director of Latin American studies from 1999 to 2001, and chair of the Geography department. In partnership with Lisa Benton-Short, Price works on "GUM: Globalization, Urbanization, and Migration," a project that charts immigration patterns by city. She is also focused on attracting and training young geographers, including continuing colleague Joe Dymond's YouthMappers program. Price has co-authored the textbooks Globalization and Diversity: Geography of a Changing World and Diversity Amid Globalization: World Regions, Environment, Development, as well as writing for UNESCO and the United Nations. Her goal is to bring more young people into Geography and to encourage, involve, and acknowledge geographers from a much more diverse range of identities.
