‘What is geography’ or ‘who is a geographer’, is a contested question. The closest consensus would probably be the ambiguous notion that ‘geography is what geographers do’. However, what geographers do, depend on the geographies they are situated in and are coming from. We intend to explore the internal complexities and contradictions of geography, its fluid boundaries, and diverse contexts, through this seminar series.

Geography as a discipline may have a large global foot print. However, what geographers do differ across contexts. Context here is defined very loosely; it can be a research cluster, a linguistic group, or a country/region. To have a dialogue between these contexts, we invited both early-career and established researchers to discuss their work within the following framing questions:
         1. What questions do geographers ask?
         2. How do they find answers to these questions?
         3. How do these questions and answers eventually contribute (or not) to the ‘discipline’?
         4. What ‘skills’ should one possess to be called a ‘geographer’?

All talks will be in hybrid mode, with live audience at LaGeS, Via San Gallo, 10,  Florence, Italy. For more information you may contact Panos (panagiotis.bourlessas@unifi.it) or Nipesh (nipesh.palatnarayanan@unifi.it).
