Did you bother to click the google scholar link? Several dozen pages of results that fit the mold and you call it "a couple of papers"? I don't want to assume you are trolling, but seriously.
- felixgallo 2y agoyour link was simply for a google search for 'queer theory critical theory geography'. Because 'geography' is an overloaded word that both refers to a formal discipline about the physical world (mapping, terrain, elevation, boundaries, borders, GIS) and also the concept of exploratory investigation in analytical thinking, the search finds a lot of earnest cases of people talking about the concepts of gender, some cases about whether geography-as-a-subject is over-fixated on imperial origin, and to my counting, zero cases of geography as a discipline abandoning the scientific method. So your initial assertion remains unconvincing. Please feel free to name a specific department if that helps. It's easy to make fun of some of the overwrought academic papers that are out there. Nevertheless if you're a huge fan of the scientific method and rigorous thinking, as you seem to claim that you are, then making your own overwrought and specious claims about the issue is not a way to solve the problem.
- peatmoss 2y agoHow do you imagine that literature searches are conducted in academic studies?
- felixgallo 2y agothey aren't just google search term count presented as evidence, if that's what you're asking.
