Geography in times of crisis and turbulence

More importantly, these days, there seems to be the kind of crises and turbulence that we have to deal with as citizens of a world that changes rapidly, with consequences that call upon us as scholars in ways we did not conceive of as urgent until we found ourselves in the midst of them. As such, the crises that face us as academics, paradoxically serve to alleviate the minor and paradigmatic crises pertaining to our disciplines, as we are constantly summoned to revise and refine our philosophies and methods to be relevant to cope with the great challenges of our time. The diagnosis of crisis is not unknown to the field of geography.
