Abstract

This paper is concerned with questions of praxis that are central to the subdiscipline of labour geography. Asking how the subdiscipline might engage the present conjuncture, we suggest that centring questions of social reproduction and historically contingent processes of racialisation is vital, and propose a praxis as labouring geographers which encompasses both situated processes of knowledge production, and activity as teachers, activists and workers – both within and beyond the institutions where we are employed. Our paper thus resonates strongly with calls by Ruth Wilson Gilmore and others for geographers to engage with the internationalist project of abolition of racial capitalism.
