This commentary explores the dynamics of financialization in relation to educational infrastructures of social reproduction, an area McFadden identifies as a ‘generative avenue’ for future research. This exploration is accomplished through a discussion of how financialization is currently reshaping schooling in the US context in two ways: (a) through troubling the longstanding reproduction/resistance dialectic in education; and (b) through reorienting the built infrastructures of schooling into private revenue streams for investors. In doing so I argue that studying new modes of financial accumulation which directly touch upon the practices and infrastructures of schooling is critical to understanding the contemporary infrastructures of urban social reproduction that McFadden identifies.

The accelerated post-Covid expansion of online worlds presents an unprecedented move of people into real-time interactive digital spaces. What does this change mean for the future of geography as a discipline? At this critical juncture, there is potential to rethink the position of the digital in geographical thought and praxis – to move beyond apparently common-sense categorizations of real and virtual, representation and reality. This commentary considers the implications of the contemporary push toward ‘metaversal’ thinking for geographical theory as well as the significance of virtual world-making for geographical theorizations of digital space and place. I suggest that key thinkers on space and media geographies must be re-evaluated and applied to this new wave of digital development. What is the significance of recent debates around emerging spaces like the metaverse, augmented reality, and virtual reality, understood not as happenings with distinct real and virtual counterparts, but as geographical – spatial – phenomena?

In this author response, we further reflect on pluriversal and prefigurative approaches to research, centred on Indigenous Māori knowledge, while opening space for cross-cultural perspectives and co-creation methods. We address the responses authored by Meg Parsons, Wendy Steele and Wendy Harcourt, starting by summarising what we took from each contribution. We discuss key questions raised by each of the authors in the context of the evolving research programme and broader developments on wellbeing governance in Aotearoa. Pluriversal and prefigurative experimental approaches are key to testing and iteratively advancing the research agenda in disruptive times.

Alongside this exercise, we read four pieces of science fiction in which the authors imagined processes of justice in other worlds or at other times. In the stories, we encountered complicated accountability processes, re-education programmes, peaceholders, and voluntary therapeutic interventions – all attempts at practical speculative resolutions to the violence and brokenness of contemporary criminal legal processes. These exercises were intended as a way for us to trip up our commonsense assumptions about the infrastructure of safety and justice, to open our imagination towards entirely different ways of doing justice, dealing with brokenness, and comporting and structuring our relationships with each other. Crucially, the exercises were ways for us to experiment with living different processes and relationships of justice in the present. When AbdouMaliq Simone calls abolition ‘a movement toward disproportion, beyond calculations of suitable measures’ (2022: 24) it is this setting of the speculative in motion that he recognises in abolitionist work – a deliberate, improbable recalibration of the terms of the present, and of the size of the space and capacity we have to improvise on those terms. In his recent book The Surrounds, Simone’s long attention to the moves and formulations of urban majorities is put in service of discerning an urban experience – a ‘territory of operation’ (2022: 28) – he calls the surrounds. The urban surrounds, he tells us, are those processes and territories that are Book review forum

In this commentary, I trace the potential of ‘the impossible’ as a spatio-temporal category for geographical research. I proceed from the assumption that the impossible takes on an ever more prominent role in the contemporary zeitgeist, especially in light of current crisis dynamics, such as pandemics, climate change, or the threat of nuclear warfare. When the impossible ‘takes place’, it receives a geography, or means the end of geography. Geographies of the impossible suspend taken-for-granted facts, pave the way for new actors, function according to their own logic, and create spaces for extraordinary encounters. Studying these geographies encourages scholars to engage with dystopian and apocalyptic but also utopian and revolutionary spatialities as well as follow the desire to make possible tomorrow what is impossible today.

Fieldwork remains a cornerstone of geographical research. Echoing longstanding critiques, this brief intervention envisions a future of geographical thought and praxis where fieldwork is critically interrogated rather than assumed. Approaching the field as a spatial-analytical category, we point to the creative ways that geographers have engaged and connected with their varied fields of research. Through examining recent geographical works that question the presumed locations of the field, experiment with various creative methods, and bridge pedagogy-practice divides, this intervention asks where and how the future fields of fieldwork might be located, practiced, and extended.
