The possibilities of cosmopolitan dialogue

Abstract

This commentary responds to Rose-Redwood et al.’s (2018) article, ‘The Possibilities and Limits to Dialogue’, by reflecting on the possibilities of a culture of cosmopolitan dialogue. First, I focus on dialogue as part of knowledge production within academic communities, identifying the institutional challenges and power inequalities that fetter dialogues between Western academia and beyond. Next, I reflect upon the different ways in which the ‘relevance’ of human geography is understood in different contexts, partaking in an alternative meaning of dialogue, that is, as public engagement and social relevance.
