Abstract

This critical commentary celebrates the major intellectual advances and evolution of labour geography over the last 25 years, as showcased through the pages of JEG. It also identifies some persistent blind spots, marginalized actors, and vital future directions through which labour geographers (as future authors, reviewers, and editors of JEG) should continue to push the boundaries of economic geography as a field of study through new and evolving engagements with labour.
