Yi-Fu Tuan, University of Wisconsin–Madison professor emeritus of geography, died August 10 at the age of 91.

In this series Aled Singleton explore the ebb and flow of geographical ideas, particularly how they move around the world. As with all innovations, concepts sometimes lose traction over time, seem to get buried in dusty libraries and then fins themselves revived for unexpected reasons. The topic for this series is the concept psychogeography. We will travel from Paris in the 1960s to the UK in the 1990s and then to the wider World in the 2020s.
