OU Professor John Allen introduces the lecture

Why geography matters

Why does geography matter? Open University Professor Doreen Massey has devoted her life to the subject, speaking passionately about the significance of geography and the 'politics of place' in a globalised world. This lecture is a celebration of her work which has had a profound influence on theorising around space and place and has taken the study of geography into new inter-disciplinary directions.
