Geographers - Biobibliographical Studies, Volume 37

Geographers: Biobibliographical Studies , Volume 37 explores the concept of distinction in geography. Through the lives of six geographers working in Brazil, North America, Europe and Reunion, it investigates what distinction consists of, how we identify and celebrate it and how it relates to quotidian practices in the discipline.The volume highlights the continuing importance of biography and the International Geographical Union in recording and assessing distinction. It also considers the relevance of personal networks for the circulation and translation of distinguished geographical knowledge, and how this knowledge can underpin applied projects and critical appraisal of geographical scholarship, both at a national and sub-national level. Gendered notions of distinction are also addressed, particularly through June Sheppard, who found limited recognition for her work as a result of gendered expectations within the discipline and society at large.By reflecting on how we locate distinguished geographers and tell their histories, Geographers: Biobibliographical Studies , Volume 37 makes an important contribution to fostering less canonical work in historical geography.>
