Preferred term

Edward W. Soja  

Definition

  • The American geographer Edward W. Soja has become known internationally in critical urban theory for his work on spatial analysis and the spatiality of social life. In his writings, he takes a spatial, regional, and political perspective, viewing space as an explanatory principle for social theory in which uneven spatial practices and the struggle over space are implicated in contemporary capitalism. [Source: Encyclopedia of Urban Studies; Soja, Edward W.]
