Social GeographiesUdgave 1

This timely exploration of social geography reveals how inequality and justice unfold across interconnected scales around the globe. Through embodied, relational encounters, the book unpacks how everyday spaces shape who we are and what we might become. Grounded in care and hope, it invites readers to imagine fairer futures and remain committed to meaningful, long-term change.

The text offers a dynamic, case-driven and sometimes image-driven exploration of pressing social issues in our increasingly unequal, post-pandemic world. Designed for student engagement, the book provides real-world case studies that span the globe, critical concepts and thought-provoking questions to help readers analyse injustice, build conceptual 'toolkits', and imagine routes toward meaningful social change. Rather than offering easy answers, this book equips readers with flexible, practical frameworks – encouraging selective, critical thinking to better understand and communicate complex social problems. Ideal for classroom use and independent study, it empowers students to connect theory with action and to think like geographers committed to justice. The book also includes Engagement Questions, encouraging readers to reflect on the subject of the chapter and the wider topics within the field of social geography.

This book is essential reading for students of social and political geography, and allied fields of urban, health and well-being and political geographies.
