Welcome to the Critical Geography Working Group at Texas A&M

The aim of the group is to provide a forum for faculty and students to read and discuss classic and contemporary

texts that engage with critical approaches to studying space, place, and the environment, while examining the

philosophical underpinnings of recent scholarship in critical geography.
