How can speculative fiction become a research method? This new article explores four approaches: close reading existing sci-fi, analysing how stories influence real policies, inviting participants to write their own futures, and researchers creating speculative narratives.

Loving the theme of this year’s #RGS2025!
If you are using creative methods for geography research we are the journal for you!

Learn more about us bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/journals/jou...

Geographies of creativity/creative geographies.

"Whether it’s the capacity to create new places out of old, or new spatial relations where none existed before, or to create beautiful things – artworks, writing, architecture, music, dance – in places and across spaces, creativity seems almost too fundamental to focus on.

But what are the spatialities of creativity?

The geographies of creative practice – how artwork sustains globalised flows of money for example, or how music reshapes buildings and bodies, or how creative writing nurtures geopolitics – are sometimes hard to theorise and bear witness to.

Yet creative practice is crucial both to physical processes and to human experiences: we need to understand it.

More fundamentally, if there sometimes seems to be too little creativity in our habitually over-consuming world, how do geographers become more creative? Is 21st-century geography a truly creative discipline?

At a time when our world really needs a creative vision, to deal with new challenges in new ways, this conference theme asks for nothing less than a creative re-visioning of our discipline."

Patricia Noxolo, University of Birmingham, UK.
