Abstract

In recent years, the issue of public geography has been attracting attention of the geographical debate. Despite clear differentiation in the use of the term, a growing tendency to use the category of public geography as an innovative space for reflection and action in public contexts arose. The debate has followed the development of geographical thinking over the last two decades and includes the demand for change in research methodologies that emerge, for example, from the debate on decolonial epistemologies, or the radical critique of patriarchal systems of hierarchy and classification of the world. Public geography is struggling to take shape within the complex redefinition of geographical knowledge.
