The Forschungswerkstatt Kritische Geographie/Critical Geography Research Workshop took place in Berlin this year, june 14-16 - and we participated with a workshop entitled "Critical Geography and New Materialism". To our surprise there was a huge interest in the workshop - we had to change the room for the salon to be able to host all the participants. As a first round of questions showed that many were generally interested, but did not have a lot of pre-knowledge, we started with a basic introduction: What is 'critical geography' about? And what is 'new materialism'?We then split into three groups who worked each about one question:1. How can the approaches of 'new materialisms' can be used in a productive way within critical geography?2. Which problems may arise combining these approaches with critical geography?3. Which theoretical, methodological and empiric examples exist that can be used or combined for a "critical new materialism"?After a very productive group work session we came back together to present our results to each other - realizing that many point from all three groups related to siminlar, cross-cutting topics, among them:- problems of dealing with hierarchies and power relations that are central to critical geography in these new materialist approaches- the question of how to attribute responsibility- how to go beyond the merely descriptive, 'singular-case' perspective of many new materialist studies, how to combine these with systemic or comparative approaches, related to questions of scaleThere was no time to address all theses issues in detail - but we also collected a range of of examples that could be used to discuss these issues further - from within geography, but also from related disciplines and fields like anthropology, urban studies and planning, environmental history, feminist STS or sociology.As there was a huge interest among many of the participants to discuss these questions further, we decided to continue working on the topic. We have set up a mailing list to coordinate further actions -  feel free to subscribe if you are interested. You find a photo documentation of the working groups below. Thanks to all the participants for the great discussions and hope to see you soon at the next meeting!
