The network aims to anchor Labour Geography as an independent research field in German-speaking geography. Labour Geography places the spatially relevant actions of working people and workers' movements at the centre of the analysis of geographical development processes. In the English-speaking world, it has become a recognised sub-discipline of geography, and in recent years increasingly includes perspectives that address everyday actions, informal work, social reproduction, new forms of organisation and actors from the Global South. The network aims to bring together German-speaking academics who research and publish with and on Labour Geography. The aim is to achieve synergy effects that contribute to the establishment of the sub-discipline in the German-speaking academic world and to the further development of international Labour Geography. For this purpose, the network plans to work on and update two overarching thematic fields - global transformation processes and social-ecological reproduction. In the thematic strand "Global Transformation Processes", we want to build upon cutting-edge research (also by network members) that asks how workers and their organisations react to and shape the transnationalisation and digitalisation of production processes. Theoretically, this combines a subject-focused perspective with new debates on the structures and causes of global inequality. In the thematic strand "Social-ecological Reproduction", ongoing work of the network members on social reproductive labour and the embedding of labour in social relations of nature will be discussed and further developed. In doing so, the discussion is linked to more recent debates on the social significance and status of work. The network will also work on two cross-cutting themes: Firstly, a (global-local) Labour Geography of the Covid 19 pandemic and secondly methodological questions of Labour Geography research. The network will work together in a goal-oriented manner over a period of three years in six intensive, three-day working meetings. The focus will be on joint publications: A German-language "Handbook of Labour Geography"; a special issue on "New Perspectives in Labour Geography" in a German-language geographical journal; as well as further topic-specific articles in German-language and international academic journals. The development of these publications is supported by an intensive exchange with renowned international representatives of Labour Geography. The network also aims to explicitly support young researchers and offer them opportunities for further development. We aim to consolidate and continue the cooperation beyond the end of the network project, for example through joint research work.

该网络的目标是锚劳动地理学作为一个独立的研究领域，在德语地理。劳动地理学将劳动人民和工人运动的空间相关行动置于地理发展过程分析的中心。在英语世界中，它已成为地理学的一个公认的子学科，近年来越来越多地包括解决日常行动，非正式工作，社会再生产，新形式的组织和来自全球南方的参与者的观点。该网络旨在将从事劳动地理研究和出版的德语学者聚集在一起。其目的是实现协同效应，有助于在德语学术界建立该分支学科，并进一步发展国际劳工地理学。为此目的，该网络计划致力于并更新两个至关重要的专题领域-全球转型进程和社会生态再生产。在“全球转型过程”这一主题链中，我们希望以前沿研究（也是网络成员）为基础，探讨工人及其组织如何应对和塑造生产流程的跨国化和数字化。从理论上讲，这将以主题为重点的视角与关于全球不平等的结构和原因的新辩论相结合。在“社会-生态生殖”专题部分，将讨论和进一步发展网络成员正在进行的关于社会生殖劳动和将劳动纳入自然的社会关系的工作。在这样做时，讨论与最近关于工作的社会意义和地位的辩论相联系。该网络还将围绕两个跨领域主题开展工作：第一，新冠肺炎大流行的（全球-本地）劳动力地理学;第二，劳动力地理学研究的方法论问题。该网络将在为期三年的六次为期三天的密集工作会议上以面向目标的方式共同努力。重点将放在联合出版物上：德文“劳动地理手册”;德文地理杂志上关于“劳动地理新视角”的特刊;以及德文和国际学术期刊上的其他专题文章。这些出版物的发展得到了与国际知名的劳动地理代表的深入交流的支持。该网络还旨在明确支持年轻研究人员，并为他们提供进一步发展的机会。我们的目标是在网络项目结束后巩固和继续合作，例如通过联合研究工作。
