Co-producing just geographies: resourcing, bridging, and critical crossings in engaged scholarship

In this commentary, we argue for the continued importance of engaged scholarship to the futures of geographical thought and praxis. In drawing on our own situated research and teaching lives in Cape Town, we suggest three avenues to advance the future possibilities of this mode of work: resourcing prefiguration, bridging incommensurability, and critical institutional praxis. We offer these as our contribution to advancing scholarship committed to making knowledge more alive to the world and acting in support of socio-political struggle and emancipatory geographic futures.
