“…Calls for more‐than‐human geographies (Dowling et al., 2017), hybrid geographies (Whatmore, 2002), and now critical physical geographies (Sharp et al., 2022) reflect the need for developing frameworks that can accommodate the agency of non‐humans and bridge nature/culture dualisms. Relatedly, thinkers such as hooks (2009) have called attention to the ways in which places are both physical and social, and that place‐making is not just human.…”

Bioregionalism was popularised in the 1970s back to the land movement. It is distinguished from other forms of environmentalism through the spatial imaginary of a bioregion as the scale for environmental action and regenerative living. Bioregional thought has been widely critiqued by geographers for its potentially deterministic understanding of the relationship between place and culture. This paper argues that bioregionalism is less of a homogenous movement and more of a discursive forum that houses a spectrum of perspectives. We identify three key tendencies within bioregional thought, an ontological tendency, a critical tendency and a processual tendency. Each tendency is rooted in different spatial imaginaries, and generates different axiologies and strategies of change. We argue that contemporary processual tendencies in bioregional thought are productive for geographers considering questions of (1) materiality, agency and place, (2) politics, ethics and place, and (3) acting in place for urgent and ethical change.
