Network Thinking in Human Geography: Musings of a Newbie

Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, 2021, vol. 112, issue 4, 474-481

Abstract: This paper on the application of network theory and analysis in Human Geography argues that networks should get a much more prominent role than they currently have and that they have matured to a lingua franca in (social) science. While reflecting upon explanations for the scarce use of network knowledge, I describe three surprising observations that I have made since I have been working in the discipline. The musings close with arguments in favour of embracing ongoing developments of data science and computational science and the proposition that Human Geography can make unique contributions to this development.
