whiteness studies and anti-racism. It then offers suggestions as to how each mode might benefit by engaging with the notion of futurity.

Geography matters ? Whiteness and contemporary geography
Interesting work on white-blind geographers working on race and ethnicity has recently been initiated, yet a more systematic and wide ranging critique of the norms and assumptions of contemporary geographical research has yet to be fully established
