Foreword: Mapping Critical Geographies in Virtual Space

In this Foreword to the LatCrit Symposium, the authors introduce the work of the 2021 LatCrit Biennial Meeting. They frame the movement as one of critical and liberatory theorizing in a time of retrenchment of opposition to the antisubordination project, highlighting the many strands of Critical Legal Studies that find home in the big tent of the LatCrit community. They introduce and contextualize within the broader critical theory literature four Articles written by members of the LatCrit community. Finally, they assert their own challenge to the movement, calling on critical legal scholars to question more seriously the meritocratic and productivist hierarchies of the academy itself.
