When middle- or upper-class households are involved, the process feels calmer, more flexible. For those with fewer resources, it’s faster, harsher, less forgiving.

Each file, each exchange in the hallway, tells a story about housing, dignity, and justice. 2/2

Interested in joining? Think feminist world-making, sonic/visual experiments, collective dreaming, and critical housing politics.

#HousingCrisis #LegalGeography #Urbanism

A big thank you to the panelists – Elsa Noteman, Jay Todd, Malene H. Jacobsen, Elodie Negar Behzadi & James Esson – for such an inspiring session! Hope to see you all soon again!

Leaving Birmingham, I feel re-energised to take these conversations back into my own work on law, housing, and debt, and to keep building the solidarities and collaborations that make critical geography not just a scholarly endeavour, but a practice of hope and accountability.

The discussion cut right to the heart of what it means to do critical geography today—how we engage with structures of inequality, how we situate ourselves in relation to power, and how we make space for different voices, methods, and struggles.

It was a powerful reminder of the intellectual and political commitments that shape our field: to question, to unsettle, and to imagine otherwise.

Thank you! ❤️

The panel “What Is Critical Geography, and What Can, and Must, It Be?” yesterday was so necessary to think about the futures we aspire to have - whilst having to address all sorts of emergencies now. Thank you @sklosterkamp.bsky.social for convening! #RGSIBG25

We are delighted to have Elsa Noterman, Malene H. Jacobsen, James Esson, Elodie Negar Behzadi and Jay Todd as discussant, whose reflections will help push the conversation further.

If you’re at RGS-IBG, come join us tomorrow morning!

Together with Matej Blazek, I look forward to opening a collective discussion on the responsibilities and possibilities of critical geography today—how it challenges structures of power, connects with struggles for justice, and reimagines worlds otherwise.
