“Do you know what it means to write the earth? This is a serious question. What does it mean? To write the earth is the foundation of our discipline. How is that we understand that none of our work is done without collaboration and the collective? When we ask the earth - its landforms, its climates, its plants, its animals, its humans - to give to us, to share stories with us.”

Just finished @lbnaylor.bsky.social 's "All Geographers Should Be Feminist Geographers. Creating Care-full Academic Spaces". Resonates very much with what our Grenoble coven is trying to do.
Read it!

@spacedemands.bsky.social powerful afterword starts with words on which we should all reflect:

Excited to share a new paper in @societyandspace.bsky.social, co-authored with 8 graduate students from a Fall 2023 Black Geographies Seminar. I am grateful for them and our collaborators at Highlander, BattleField Farm, and the Children’s Defense Fund/Alex Haley Farm.

I often tell the story of how stumbling across Black Geographies and the Politics of Place changed my life/work. What an honor to be in this conversation.

Grateful to my co-authors for the conversations around sustaining our departments better. The paper is an outcome of our symposium during AAG 2024.

@geographers.bsky.social

At AAG Detroit in 2025, Dr. LaToya Eaves was in dialogue with Drs. Katherine McKittrick, Willie Jamaal Wright, and Kevin Grove about the pathbreaking book, Black Geographies and the Politics of Place.

I appreciated having the chance to talk about Integrated on Michigan Public Radio. Michigan and Detroit are central to the story of Integration and the increasingly strident resistance to it in the 1970s.

For the first time in my life, a physician (my new ENT, a WM) knew what the research said about Black women and offered it to me without me having to ask.

More of this.

AAG Detroit filled my heart and spirit. So many important moments, warm hugs, and solidarities formed. At the top of my list is laughing with Gwendolyn Warren, our Honorary Geographer, and witnessing Rickie Sanders get her flowers.

What a gift.

In light of the upcoming @geographers.bsky.social conference, take a look at the many incredible co-editors of the journal! Our editorial team is comprised of those with a passion for critical geography, and work without compensation to keep ACME's commitment to #openaccess possible.

Promotional poster for an American Association of Geographers webinar titled 'Resistances: The Anishinaabe of Michigan' scheduled for February 26, 2025. The poster features a map of Michigan, an image of a speaker named Natasha Myhal from Ohio State University, and details about the webinar's focus on historical and contemporary struggles of the Anishinaabe people.

The story of the Anishinaabe in #Michigan is one of #resilience in the face of systemic challenges. Natasha Myhal will delve into historical and contemporary struggles as the #Anishinaabe navigated settler tactics restricting access to ancestral lands.
