Thinking with the foggy space between

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: David Bissell encourages geographers to think with brain fog. In response to this, recalling work in ‘mental health geographies’ and specifically ‘geographies of delusion’, I engage with Bissell's call to consider potential empathetic solidarities with people who experience disabling neurodiversity. I suggest that geographers might listen carefully to the voices of people who dwell in fog, not to romanticise their unintentionally dissonant geographies, but instead to seek co-produced routes through which it might be possible to help moor disrupted senses of self.
