Critical Geographies

Critical geographies is an approach within geography that examines how space, place, and power interact and shape social relationships. It challenges conventional ideas about how places are understood, focusing on issues like inequality, identity, and the environmental impacts of human actions. By looking critically at how geography affects people’s lives and experiences, critical geographers seek to reveal hidden structures of power and advocate for social justice. This perspective helps us understand the complex ways our surroundings influence cultural, economic, and political dynamics, aiming to foster a more equitable world.
