Description: The purpose of this exercise is to allow you to become familiar with a critical and/or radical geographer’s work that has made a significant contribution to their sub- discipline.
Your specific geographer is David Harvey. You must write and present an analysis of this key thinker in critical geography that discusses:
- their key texts;
- what and/or who has influenced their work;
- how they ‘do’ critical and/or radical geography;
- what change they seek in the world and why;
- how they have tried to seek change through their work;
- how their insights have influenced the sub-discipline; and
- why you think their work warrants inclusion as a ‘key thinker’ in radical and critical geographies.
