| dc.description.abstract | Multiple paths have charted the future of geography. In the midst of disciplinary uncertainty, what can early career geographers do to stay imaginative? Authored by two early career geographers, this paper outlines some advice and inspiration for geographers to write prolifically, explore placefully, and diversify their reading palettes. It builds upon Peirce Lewis’s (1985) challenge to never relinquish “that God-given ability to see and feel and seek to understand the wonders of the earth.” Three missions are provided to cultivate imaginative geographers: start a writing group, schedule weekly field dates, and adopt a daily reading routine. These missions frame professional geography into a career path that cultivates joy, curiosity, poetry, and gratitude. | |
