Human Geography (United Kingdom)

Aims & Scope

Human Geography: A New Radical Journal (HG) is broadly conceived to cover topics ranging from economic, urban, social, cultural and geopolitical issues.

Therefore, HG is committed to an array of research ranging from political economy, to cultural economy to political ecology.

It is envisaged as a well-written, critical, political, and intellectually rich journal that can be read in its entirety, stimulate debates and spark social change.

The critical politics that fueled the radical geography movement is being dissipated in philosophical-theoretical aestheticization and niceties, and empirical evasions.

Particularly, articles written from specifically Marxian and post-Marxian/post-structural philosophical-theoretical and political positions face a difficult time – young academics have to deny their radical politics to get published.

Thus, HG consciously favors political as well as theoretically-based articles from various left positions that definitely include Marxist-Socialist positions, in addition to feminist, queer, anarchist, anti-racist, postcolonial, anticolonial, subaltern and any newly emerging critical thought.

Additionally, HG is a forum to respond to the difficult and wide range of urgent social and political questions thrown up by capitalist globalization that are not being fully addressed in an increasingly neoliberalizing and commodified academia.

Some of the most basic issues (the Iraq invasion, the war induced refugee crisis, global finance capitalism, poverty, famine, imperialism, environmental crisis) are hardly mentioned in the existing journals.

Hence, we favor a new, more extensive and politically inclusive journal of broadly, but very politically, conceived Human Geography.
