From Geography Education to the Geographies of Education: Rethinking Knowledge and Justice Through South American Perspectives

This conceptual article explores the convergence between geography education and the geographies of education. While geography education has focused on teaching and learning about space, the geographies of education examine how education is spatially produced through material, relational, and political practices. The article proposes the future of geography education lies in recognizing the educational world as a geographical one. Schools, policies, and pedagogies are active producers of space. A South American perspective is advanced not as a case study, but as an epistemic vantage point for rethinking the purposes and possibilities of geographical perspectives on education.
