Abstract
This commentary makes three points in relation to the theme of ‘decolonising geographical knowledge’. First, it highlights the potential that the theme has in terms of widening the imperative to decolonise geographical knowledge; second, drawing on decolonial critiques of postcolonial theory, it stresses the structural difficulty of decolonisation efforts that are conceived within extant disciplinary infrastructures; and third, it argues that decolonising geographical knowledge should encourage geographers to, in fact, turn away from the discipline as we attempt to ‘speak to’ the places, peoples, and communities on and with which we work.
