Geography And A Geographer - Reimagining The Discipline After Ron Johnston

~~0,95€~~ 0,86€ 10% IMEDIATO

 Professor Ron Johnston OBE, FAcSS, FBA was one of the most celebrated geographers of his generation. Producing a prolific research record that spanned six decades, Johnston was an insightful, thoughtful, and open-minded contributor to debates and research practices in human geography, to understanding the histories and productions of geographical knowledge in modern Anglo-American geography, and to the study of electoral, political, urban, and social geographies. He was widely recognised as a champion of geography whose work continues to influence the field today.Geography and a Geographer: Reimagining the Discipline After Ron Johnston brings together contributors whose work speaks to the geographies Johnston helped shape. It offers an invitation to revisit Johnston's body of work and consider its relevance for the future of the discipline. Across the volume, authors reflect on Johnston's intellectual legacy, the evolution of human geography, disciplinary history and memory, mentorship, collaboration and collegiality. Other chapters respond to calls to decolonise and pluralise how geography is narrated and practised, and encourage fresh thinking about the role of quantitative approaches in human geography.Thought-provoking and forward-looking, this collection reflects Johnston's passion for geography and celebrates his extensive contributions to the discipline. It pays tribute to his scholarship through engagement with the ideas and concepts he developed in his research, and reflects on where his work can take us next.

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA
