Abstract

In September 2018 a group of literary geographers again gathered in Emmanuel College, Cambridge, to discuss current concerns and the future direction of this interdiscipline. The theme for 2018 was ‘collaboration’. This introduction provides a brief overview of the definitions and practices of collaboration in literary geography which were developed at the conference, as well as introducing the first group of Thinking Space pieces to emerge from those discussions.
