本文回顾Ray Hudson四十年来对经济地理学的贡献,强调其理论、语境与实证分析的相互塑造关系,以及对社会正义的坚定承诺,适合经济地理学和政治地理学研究者阅读。
Ray Hudson’s economic geography is characterised by a complex understanding of the mutually formative relationships between theory and context. Although Ray’s research and writing range from the local to the global, his understanding stems in part from an intense focus on the north-east of England and from a deep appreciation of the analytical, theoretical and political significance of careful empirical analysis. Ray’s distinctive formulation, development and application of a critical political economic geography informs his commitment to social justice. This is a commitment that has never wavered. It goes well beyond research and writing and extends to his practical involvement in teaching and learning, the discipline of Geography, higher education more widely and to his tireless political engagement.
