Beginning assistant pro-fessors are sometimes surprised to find that this experience is unlikely to be repeated. Instead of working individually, a beginning faculty member finds himself or herself working as a member of a team (a department, for exam-ple); instead of having one major focus (the dissertation), there are now many competing expectations and demands on his or her time (teaching, advising, publishing, getting grants, and so on); instead of receiving advice and assistance, he or she is now advising and assisting others with their projects (be it through peer review of manuscripts or proposals or advising students). Needless to say, then, while the transition from doctoral student to faculty member is eagerly anticipated, it is often quite a disorienting experience.

A critical contextualization is a first step in realizing critical geographies of and in the university. This argument is elaborated in a consideration of three situations the author has faced: teaching undergraduate economic geography in an era of globalization; the professionalization of graduate students, and universities' indifference to the fuller lives of (in this case) faculty.

He wants to uncover how and why capital works the way it does, “and why it might stutter and stall and sometimes appear to be on the verge of collapse. [He] also want[s] to show why this economic engine should be replaced, and with what” (p. 11). This book review symposium brings Harvey into conversation with six prominent figures in contemporary Marxist geography— Ipsita Chatterjee, Elaine Hartwick, Don Mitchell, Dick Peet, Sue Roberts, and Erik Swyngedouw—to discuss this book in particular, and Harvey’s contribution to radical geography more generally. Concluding the symposium, David Harvey responds to the these commentaries and offers a wide-ranging reflection on what he has termed his “Marx Project.”
