Beyond Geographies of Race

 

About the talk

Enthusiasm for black geographies has grown significantly since it was formalized in the edited volume, Black Geographies and the Politics of Place. With an increase in the interest and application of this framework has come an increased potential for the misapplication of the aims defined in its origins. The time has come to redefine Black geographies and delineate it from geographies of race.

The study, titled “Disclosing Influence: Hydraulic fracturing, interest groups, and state policy processes in the United States,” revealed two important findings, Baka said.
