Thinking with the foggy space between

David Bissell encourages geographers to think with brain fog. In response to this, recalling work in ‘mental health geographies’ and specifically ‘geographies of delusion’, I engage with Bissell's call to consider potential empathetic solidarities with people who experience disabling neurodiversity. I suggest that geographers might listen carefully to the voices of people who dwell in fog, not to romanticise their unintentionally dissonant geographies, but instead to seek co-produced routes through which it might be possible to help moor disrupted senses of self.

Abstract

David Bissell encourages geographers to think with brain fog. In response to this, recalling work in ‘mental health geographies’ and specifically ‘geographies of delusion’, I engage with Bissell's call to consider potential empathetic solidarities with people who experience disabling neurodiversity. I suggest that geographers might listen carefully to the voices of people who dwell in fog, not to romanticise their unintentionally dissonant geographies, but instead to seek co-produced routes through which it might be possible to help moor disrupted senses of self.
