Geographical research is inherently a product of its time, shaped by both prevailing political and cultural norms and the individuals or social movements who resist them. The Routledge Handbook of Methodologies in Human Geography seeks to position contemporary research in the discipline as an ethical and political endeavour that encompasses a rich and varied present built on a past shaped by dramatic social and technological developments, full of both cooperation and conflict. In this essay I draw on Methodologies in Human Geography in an attempt to consider creatively the future directions of the discipline.
