Spatial Delight Episode Two: Geography Matters!

Описание: When you look up Doreen Massey online, you’ll see that she’s sometimes referred to as a Marxist geographer, a feminist geographer, a human geographer, a cultural geographer, and so on. So, what kind of geographer was she? In this episode, we talk to geographers John Allen, David Featherstone, Tariq Jazeel, Linda McDowell and Tracey Skelton to find out more.

Much of our world – how we imagine it, how we inhabit it – continues to be shaped by various forms of imperialism and colonialism. In this episode, we discuss how geography can help us understand the many entanglements of the global and the local.

Doreen Massey thought geographically about everything. She rejected the neat, linear ideas of spatial difference that have long shaped western geographical imaginations. Massey challenged western scientists, including herself, to stop pretending their position was in any way universal, and to provincialise their questions and theories instead.
