18 Conclusion: Toward a research agenda for digital geographies

This chapter does not suggest that there should be a single, clear agenda for digital geographies. Instead, the focus is on how we might advance a range of different agendas facilitated by the critical thinking around the digital that has been explored within this book. Six cross cutting themes are examined, including: critiquing claims of technological neutrality; examining the ways in which new technologies are emerging and being employed; problematising western essentialism; the relationship between technology and embodiment; technology and the more-than-human; and issues around privacy. The chapter concludes by highlighting three priority areas for advancing debates within digital geographies research: intimacy, resistance and interdisciplinarity.
