Abstract
ABSTRACT Geographers have a responsibility to address the major challenges of our time by engaging with and shaping policy. The paper introduces three ways this might be achieved – through critical engagement with policy; through occupying liminal spaces that foster agenda setting; and through empowering others to shape policy-from-below. Drawing on a range of experiences related to urban and regional development, the challenges and opportunities of engaging with the policy world are discussed. The paper concludes with a call to strive for a geography of possibility where our discipline is recognized as critical to solving social, economic and environmental challenges.
