An Introduction

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Social geographies is a flourishing field that studies a diverse range of current social issues through a spatial lens. Capturing a lively and dynamic area of scholarship, this major textbook showcases the breadth of conceptual and empirical approaches that social geographers use to understand the world we live in. It is collectively authored by one of the largest groups of social geographers in the world. The book develops a vision of social geographies that is rooted in longstanding commitments to justice, equality and social change, while incorporating new approaches, topics and concerns. It offers the most contemporary and comprehensive round-up of social geographies to date, making sense of its rich and diverse interests. Its 34 chapters contain lively and accessible summaries of current research on familiar topics such as space and time, race, class, housing and health; and recent developments including digital worlds, performance, sustainability and food. Above all, this collection makes clear the enormous relevance and contributions of social geographies, not only to our understanding of a wide range of global and local issues, but also to working for change for a better world alongside communities, policy makers and social movements.
