Introducing Spatial Delight

Spatial Delight is a podcast about the politics of space inspired by the life and work of British geographer Doreen Massey. Over the course of ten episodes (eight in English, two in Spanish), we engage with Massey’s enduring concepts – a global sense of place, geometries of power, space invaders, geographies of responsibility, and more – to challenge the way we think about the world today. As we travel from a London laundromat to a public park in Berlin, and invite listeners to take a closer look at a contested waterfront in Kochi and the Egyptian desert, we learn that “the way we are, and the way places are, is a product of our interrelations with everywhere else,” as Massey put it. Created by Agata Lisiak, Associate Professor of Migration Studies at Bard College Berlin, Spatial Delight seeks to inspire listeners to think about space and place as full of power, and to imagine political alternatives to the current world order.
