Anglophonic labour geography

Chapter 1 in Handbook of Labour Geography, 2025, pp 60-72 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter explores the development of Anglophonic Labour Geography, both as a distinct and identifiable subfield of Anglophonic Human Geography and as an intellectual and political project concerned with how workers actively shape the spatial dynamics of capitalism. I examine how capital-L ‘Labour Geography’ and diverse, small-L labour geographies have evolved to address the issues raised and challenges posed over the last decade, contributing to what Peck (2018, p. 475) called Labour Geography's current ‘more reflective and autocritical phase’. Through narrating my experiences of teaching undergraduates since I developed my first labour geographies course in 2014, I pose two questions of this current phase: in what ways is it expansive, and, relatedly, who sees themselves as ‘labour geographers’?
