Making the case for public geographies of student debt abolition
Many students attending institutions of higher education have mortgaged their futures by taking on debt in order to advance their education. Educators are implicated in this perilous system, with many academics struggling with debts themselves, and our livelihoods being sustained through exploitative debt relations, especially as tuition rates continue to increase while public funding for all levels of education is divested. Geographers are well-…
Mischief, care, and heterotopia
In 2024, the Geography Zine Organizing Network (GEOZONe) was formed to collect, archive, and distribute zines engaging geographic thought and activism within and beyond the boundaries of disciplinary geography. Zines – self-published booklets emerging from subcultural and activist communities – have much to offer cultural geography as a medium of geographic theory, communication, and praxis. In this brief article, we describe how zines have been …

This has led to many senior care homes with medica…

And yet, meaningful action to address student debt has largely been absent from recent legislation meant to help Ame…

IGJ attendees included people from within movement and activist spaces, academics, and non-profit organizations who share the common vision of working toward housing justice. Th…
