“…In comparison, in a Geographical Research editorial, Stratford (2023) has discussed how this journal and the Institute of Australian Geographers can influence better policy outcomes. Such influence includes writing public policy insights into papers, creating calls for papers and study group initiatives, and hosting lectures on international comparative work on geography and public policy.…”

Responsibilities of geographers: Are we role models or hypocrites?

It is no longer enough, if it ever was, for geographers to publish research with no mind to practising it in their daily lives. This essay is quasi‐polemical, calling for us to consider both our responsibilities as geographers and our futures outside of research and to more consciously think about how to be role models of our discipline in both our professional and private lives. Such labours include asking how we can act sustainably in hosting, travelling to, and catering for conferences and how we can address our need to help build community and accommodate diversity, which are often present in calls to action in our research. Acknowledging the potential for hypocrisy also means being engaged citizen scientists and Anthropoceneans. Let us start a conversation: are we only communicators, or can we be role models, too?

“…Second, we should demonstrate how we “take seriously the views of ‘real people’—in all their wondrous diversity,” knowing that a “growing amount of humanities and social science research is grounded in deep engagement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, worker organisations, lobby groups, industries and educational bodies” (Foryth, 2018, n.p.). Third, we should involve multimedia translations of ethical integrity into radical pedagogy, policy, and practices (following Freire, 1996) from our emerging geographic legacies and momentums (see Banfield et al, 2022; Harrison, 2022; Stratford, 2023). Furthermore, the revolutionary possibilities that adhere to love and humility mean rethinking the public interest (Grant, 2005) in ways that move the “reasonable person” test out of the “pub” (Foryth, 2018) into socio‐ecological communities in place and need.…”

Revolutionary possibilities of love in a time of disaster, decolonisation, and diffraction

Representations of love appear across many disciplines and discursive fields that are and should be in conversation with geography. It is imperative that geographers engage in formidable but worthy tasks to distil diverse renderings of love into the regenerative interventions we urgently need. Those interventions require geographically minded interpretations of love to drive radical research, pedagogies, policies, and practices in ways that have direct and indirect effects across the life course and life worlds. Such labours are mediated by state and law, by intersectional relations, or by neuroscience, and involve asking how love underwrites critical infrastructures—of place (making), care and entanglements, colonialism, and human‐nature relations in the Anthropocene and posthuman—that lead to the flourishing futures we seek. Rich geographical studies oriented to those tasks still face charges of flattening difference. This commentary picks up one aspect of this agenda: a blind spot in geographical research relating to the ethical imperative to love based on benevolence. Instead, I champion the revolutionary possibilities for geography to inform policies, pedagogies, and practices by using a love based on alterity aligned with social weight, reasserting accessible science as an effective driver of social and system transformative changes. Specifically, I argue for a regenerative socio‐political analytic of love in a time of disaster, decolonisation, and diffraction.
