Response to ‘The Work of Repair: Land, Relation, and Pedagogy’ by Sara Smith et al.

Abstract

This response to ‘The Work of Repair: Land, Relation, and Pedagogy’ engages with the authors’ cases of Black Mesa, Port Arthur, Dzongu, and the University to further advance how the working of repair among geographers must be undertaken with greater assertiveness if the discipline of geography will be able to produce a reparative effect in its scholarship. Ultimately, the response asks what is repair, a question that this paper encourages geographers to boldly ask and answer.
