This short article is something of a review, something of a critique and something of a manifesto. It con siders recent arguments by some critical geogra phers about the proper (sic) relationship between 'activism and the academy'. Written from the perspective of someone with a personal and profes sional stake in a broadly defined critical human geography, the article suggests the need to rethink and reorientate the locus of geographical radicalism. Specifically, I argue that too much of the recent debate on activism and the academy is preoccupied with connecting 'out there' to 'real world' struggles beyond university precincts. A complementary strategy of focussing 'in here'-that is, within and against the modern (and increasingly corporate) university that sustains but also circumscribes our academic labours-is proposed, and three import ant targets for 'in here' geographical activism are suggested.'
