> An increasing amount of scholarship in critical, feminist, and anti-racist geographies has recently focused self-reflexively on the topics of exclusion and discrimination within the discipline itself. In this article we contribute to this literature by considering citation as a problematic technology that contributes to the reproduction of the white heteromasculinity of geographical thought and scholarship, despite advances toward more inclusivity in the discipline in recent decades.
> Yet we also suggest, against citation counting and other related neoliberal technologies that imprecisely approximate measures of impact, influence, and academic excellence, citation thought conscientiously can also be a feminist and anti-racist technology of resistance that demonstrates engagement with those authors and voices we want to carry forward. We argue for a conscientious engagement with the politics of citation as a geographical practice that is mindful of how citational practices can be a tool for either the reification of, or resistance to, unethical hierarchies of knowledge production. We offer practical and conceptual reasons for carefully thinking through the role of citation as a performative embodiment of the reproduction of geographical thought.

No clue and I have a BS in Geography. Studied GIS and Cartography (2008); I don't know when they added feminism to the curriculum. If feminism is ruining the science of Geography, they're coming for the rest of you STEM motherfuckers. Nobody is safe.

That is why I don't hire any university fags, not STEM and of course no humanities. Have fun drowning in debt till you 75

I don't even know what to say, im baffled. How can they unironically believe what they're saying.

>Critical geography is theoretically informed geographical scholarship that seeks for social justice, liberation, and Leftist politics.[1] Critical geography is also used as an umbrella term for Marxist, feminist, postmodern, poststructural, queer, left-wing, and activist geography.[2][3]

>Critical geography is one variant of critical social science and humanities that adopt Marx’s thesis to interpret and change the world. Fay (1987) defines contemporary critical science as the effort to understand the oppression in a society and use this understanding to promote societal change and liberation

This is basically a mish mash of big words with buzzwords peppered in to obtain the air of an intellectual but doesn't put forth a cohesive, clear, or well reasoned thought. Ironically, she is in a position to and could publish a paper citing whatever geographers she wants but does she do that, no. Instead there is another system of 'oppression' holding down people which a geographer wouldn't be qualified to identify, assess, or rectify. The long and short of it is this "woman" is merely attention whoring and virtue signaling. We need to stop listening to them because any truly intelligent person could read what she wrote, realize it's nonsense, break it down to a two sentence write up, and tear apart her argument.

Holy shit, that's insane.
> A few important questions remain unsolved in critical geography such as "what are geographers critical of", and "to what end" needs to be answered.
> The second question concerns the institutionalization of critical geography. Even though critical geographers conceive themselves as rebels and outsiders, critical thinking has become prevalent in geography. Critical geography is now situated at the very heart of the discipline of geography
McCarthy was right all along
