Labouring geography in the current conjuncture: social reproduction, racial capitalism, and world-making praxis

Hannah Schling and Ben Rogaly

Chapter 30 in Handbook of Labour Geography, 2025, pp 494-506 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter is concerned with questions of praxis that are central to the subdiscipline of Labour Geography. Asking how the subdiscipline might engage the current conjuncture, we suggest that centring questions of social reproduction and historically contingent processes of racialisation is vital and propose a praxis as labouring geographers which encompasses both situated processes of knowledge production and activity as teachers, activists, and workers – within and beyond the institutions where we are employed. Our chapter thus resonates strongly with calls by Ruth Wilson Gilmore and others for geographers to engage with the internationalist project of the abolition of racial capitalism.
