Summary:<p>Donna Haraway has been a constant presence in geographical thought and practice over the past 30 years. From her early and very influential essay on&nbsp;<em>Situated Knowledges</em>, to her more recent engagements with the Anthropocene in&nbsp;<em>Staying with the Trouble</em>, her work has become a key reference point for questioning the production of geographical knowledge. In this commentary I trace the influence of Haraway's thought on geographical scholarship, exploring how it both shapes our disciplinary histories and provides a critical lens upon them.
