Afterword: Method, voice and politics in the history and philosophy of geography

Abstract

This commentary reviews the papers in the special issue on the history of the History and Philosophy of Geography Research Group, part of the Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers). It outlines three main themes: methodological approaches in history and philosophy of geography; the need to consider history and philosophy of geography together; and critical approaches and politics. It draws attention to the important work that HPGRG has done during its four decades of existence. It argues for enduring resonances in the history and philosophy of geography around peace, biographies and invisible labour.
