Examining the foundations of why DEIJ matters in geography, this book engages readers in historical and empirical facts and a number of epistemic interventions from Black, Latinx, Indigenous and Asian-American geographies, as well as Women of Colour, queer, trans, and disabled geographers. It also provides theory-informed, yet hands-on guidance on how to foster DEIJ across academia, through geography unit leadership, school geography, graduate students, undergraduate teaching, and mentorship for safe and inclusive fieldwork. Ultimately, this book envisions the future of geographical knowledge-making with most recent examples about how to embrace DEIJ in a wide range of fields, including mapping and geographic information systems (GIS), physical geography and environmental science, radical geography, human geography, and urban geography.

How to Foster Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice in Geography is an important read for students, researchers and academics in all subdisciplines of geography, across human, environmental, and physical geography, regional geography, geographic methods, and geographical education, as well as those interested in feminist geography, decolonial and anti-racist geography, and critical geography approaches. The book is also beneficial to practitioners and policymakers aiming to foster DEIJ in higher education in the social sciences, natural sciences, arts and humanities.

Spatial Futures invites readers to imagine power and freedom through the lens of the ‘Black Outdoors’, a transdisciplinary spatial concept that operates beyond the planetary, stratigraphic confines of the ‘Anthropocene’. The chapters collectively point to the ontological-epistemological contradictions involved in forging liberatory spatial futures. Bringing new spatial imaginaries to bear in and outside geography, the book refuses the strictures of the ‘cenic’, entertaining difference as world-making.
