I wrote a blog on images and cultural geography, prompted by an essay in an excellent collection convened by @benandersongeog.bsky.social @vickiezhang.bsky.social available here: https://research-information.bris.ac.uk/ws/portalfiles/portal/473927627/DIGITAL-Promises_revised_5Sep25.pdf
‘the image’ and cultural geography
I've just been browsing a fascinating collection of short essays, gathered by Ben Anderson and Vickie Zhang in the summer of 2025. They invited contributions on 'the promise of cultural geography' and put all the responses into an open-access book which you can download here. It's a wonderful initiative in many ways, not least in its openness to contributions and its publication as open access.
