Description:

Cultural Geographies publishes scholarly research and informed commentaries on the cultural appropriation and politics of nature, environment, place, and space. It welcomes contributions from the growing numbers of scholars and practitioners across the arts, humanities and social and environmental sciences who are interested in these cultural geographies. Cultural Geographies is particularly committed to the development of interpretative approaches to these issues. It does not restrict its remit to any particular methodological or theoretical orientation, but publishes both scholarly papers and more speculative pieces designed to further understanding and debate.

The Cultural Geographies in Practice section of the journal offers a space for critical reflection on how practices within the civic, policy, and artistic fields inform and relate to the journal's cultural geographic concerns. It acknowledges, presents, and discusses the intellectual and practical engagement with the journal's interests beyond a narrowly conceived academy. We particularly encourage submissions from practitioners beyond the academy or from collaborations between academics and other individuals and groups.

The journal also has an extensive book review section and publishes both review essays, and reviews in brief.
