Critical Geography
Critical Geography is an approach within the field of geography that examines the social, political, and economic forces shaping space and place. It challenges traditional geographic perspectives by emphasizing the importance of power dynamics, inequality, and social justice. Critical geographers analyze how different groups experience and interact with their environments, often focusing on marginalized communities.
This perspective is influenced by various disciplines, including sociology, political science, and cultural studies. Critical Geography seeks to uncover the underlying structures that contribute to spatial injustices, advocating for more equitable and sustainable practices in urban planning, environmental policy, and community development.
