“…Second, we should demonstrate how we “take seriously the views of ‘real people’—in all their wondrous diversity,” knowing that a “growing amount of humanities and social science research is grounded in deep engagement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, worker organisations, lobby groups, industries and educational bodies” (Foryth, 2018, n.p.). Third, we should involve multimedia translations of ethical integrity into radical pedagogy, policy, and practices (following Freire, 1996) from our emerging geographic legacies and momentums (see Banfield et al, 2022; Harrison, 2022; Stratford, 2023). Furthermore, the revolutionary possibilities that adhere to love and humility mean rethinking the public interest (Grant, 2005) in ways that move the “reasonable person” test out of the “pub” (Foryth, 2018) into socio‐ecological communities in place and need.…”

Representations of love appear across many disciplines and discursive fields that are and should be in conversation with geography. It is imperative that geographers engage in formidable but worthy tasks to distil diverse renderings of love into the regenerative interventions we urgently need. Those interventions require geographically minded interpretations of love to drive radical research, pedagogies, policies, and practices in ways that have direct and indirect effects across the life course and life worlds. Such labours are mediated by state and law, by intersectional relations, or by neuroscience, and involve asking how love underwrites critical infrastructures—of place (making), care and entanglements, colonialism, and human‐nature relations in the Anthropocene and posthuman—that lead to the flourishing futures we seek. Rich geographical studies oriented to those tasks still face charges of flattening difference. This commentary picks up one aspect of this agenda: a blind spot in geographical research relating to the ethical imperative to love based on benevolence. Instead, I champion the revolutionary possibilities for geography to inform policies, pedagogies, and practices by using a love based on alterity aligned with social weight, reasserting accessible science as an effective driver of social and system transformative changes. Specifically, I argue for a regenerative socio‐political analytic of love in a time of disaster, decolonisation, and diffraction.

“…That point is highlighted by work by Janet Banfield and her colleagues (2022), in which a key argument is that our teaching is essential preparation for graduates. Echoing others, they claim that pedagogy “surely is the discipline’s greatest claim to impact” (p. 163), but I think that assumption should be unsettled.…”
