Doreen Massey was a creative scholar, inspiring teacher and
restless activist. Her path-breaking thinking about space, place,
politics and economy changed not only geography but the critical
social sciences, initiating new ways of seeing, understanding and
indeed transforming the world. This collection of commissioned
essays, including from Doreen Massey's long-time interlocutors and
collaborators, explores both the generative sources and the
continuing potential of her remarkably wide-ranging and influential
body of work. It provides an unparalleled assessment of the
political and social context that gave rise to many of Massey's key
ideas and contributions - such as spatial divisions of labour,
power-geometries and the global sense of place - and how they
subsequently travelled, and were translated and transformed, both
within and outside of academia. Looking forward, rather than merely
backward, the collection also highlights the many ways in which
Massey's formulations and frameworks provide a basis for new
interventions in contemporary debates over immigration,
financialization, macroeconomic crises, political engagement beyond
academia, and more. Doreen Massey: Critical Dialogues is a
testament to the continuing relevance of Doreen Massey's work
across a wide range of fields, serving as an invaluable companion
to the new collection of Massey's own writings, The Doreen Massey
Reader published simultaneously and also compiled by the editors.
