Abstract

Radical geography is an approach to geographic research that seeks to understand social and spatial problems, and advocate solutions. Radical geographers are interested in everyday lives: the lived experiences of members of society. They are interested in issues of relevance to everyday social life, such as access to safe and affordable food and housing, fair pay, educational opportunities, and basic health care, to name just a few. This emphasis reflects a desire for geographers to do research that is relevant to, and useful for, society. A quest for social justice permeates much of radical geography. Radical geographers, who are often active participants in social justice campaigns, are also committed to building, supporting, and intellectualizing alternatives.
