Call for papers
Since the emergence of debates about practice and economic geography in the 2000s, there has been a significant growth and diversification of interest in ‘practice-oriented’ approaches to economic geography. Earlier work on economic practices
largely adopted a firm-oriented lens for both theorising and researching practice and its spatiality in the global economy. And whilst considerable parallels were drawn with the so-called ‘relational turn’ in economic geography, clear differences between relational
and practice-oriented work have also become apparent. Recent economic geographical work on practice has thus overlapped with an increasingly broad set of schools of thought including for example, work within geographies of finance, geographical political economy,
environmental economic geography and urban and regional development. It therefore seems timely to revisit the nature of practice-oriented research across the sub-discipline, and assess the nature and evolution of this broad approach. This session seeks therefore
to attract a wide range of contributions in order to compare and contrast different contributions to work on economic practices within economic geography and, perhaps ambitiously, create a forum at this conference to both take stock of where such work has
led the sub-discipline as well as engage with the challenges and limitations that have become evident. The organisers would welcome papers from any area of economic geography that might make a contribution to this debate about the practice-oriented shift and
these might include around (but are not limited to) research that relates to practice with regard to:
