The term invites deeper considerations of its meaning, significance, and consequences for thought and politics. For this Forum, we invited five scholars to reflect on how the Anthropocene poses challenges to the structures and habits of geography, politics, and their guiding concepts. The resulting essays piece together an agenda for geographic thought \u2013 and political engagement \u2013 in this emerging epoch. Collectively, they suggest that geography, as a discipline, is particularly well suited to address the conceptual challenges presented by the Anthropocene.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Progress in Human Geography\u00a0recently published the forum that Harlan Morehouse and I edited titled &#8220;After the Anthropocene: Politics and geographic inquiry for a new epoch&#8221;. \u00a0The participants are frequent contributors to our Geocritique blog and include Simon Dalby, Jessi Lehman, Sara Nelson, Rory Rowan, Stephanie Wakefield, and Kathryn Yusoff.
