摘要

在2019冠状病毒病大流行和我们当前面临的多重问题中，地理学家面临着寻找解决和应对这些问题的方法的关键任务。这篇评论主张社区地理学作为一种重要的实践导向的干预，利用理论和方法来解决社区问题。然而，社区地理学的实践受到学术界新自由主义化地形的限制，因此，“出版或灭亡”生产力的全球化部署已经重新配置了地理学家可以和应该做的事情。通过反对新自由主义的思想和实践社区地理学，理论创新和政治潜力的可能性向与社会相关并直接解决影响边缘化社区成员生活的问题的地理学打开了大门。

The point is to change it: Locating community geography and praxis in a neoliberalizing academia

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the multiple issues we are confronting at the contemporary moment, geographers are faced with the critical task of finding ways to address and grapple with these concerns. This commentary advocates for community geography as an important praxis-oriented intervention that utilizes theory and methods for community issues. However, the practice of community geography is constrained by academia's neoliberalizing terrain, whereby a globalizing deployment of ‘publish-or-perish’ productivity has been reconfiguring what geographers can and ought to be doing. By going against the neoliberal grain and practicing community geography, the possibilities for theoretical innovation and political potentials open up towards a geography that is socially relevant and directly addresses issues affecting the lives of marginalized community members.

期刊介绍： Dialogues in Human Geography aims to foster open and critical debate on the philosophical, methodological, and pedagogical underpinnings of geographic thought and practice. The journal publishes articles, accompanied by responses, that critique current thinking and practice while charting future directions for geographic thought, empirical research, and pedagogy. Dialogues is theoretically oriented, forward-looking, and seeks to publish original and innovative work that expands the boundaries of geographical theory, practice, and pedagogy through a unique format of open peer commentary. This format encourages engaged dialogue. The journal's scope encompasses the broader agenda of human geography within the context of social sciences, humanities, and environmental sciences, as well as specific ideas, debates, and practices within disciplinary subfields. It is relevant and useful to those interested in all aspects of the discipline.
