The social relations of difference - from race and class to gender and inequality - is at the heart of the concept of social geography and this handbook reconsiders and redirects research in the discipline while reviewing the changing ideas of individuals and their relationship with structures of power. Organized into five sections, The SAGE Handbook of Social Geography sets out the 'connections' anchored in social geography: Part One: Difference and Diversity builds on enduring ideas of the structuring of social relations and examines theruptures and rifts, and continuities and connections around social divisions.Part Two: Economy and Society rethinks the sociality, subjectivity and placement of money, markets, price and value. Part Three: Geographies of Wellbeing builds from a foundation of work on the spaces of fear, anxiety and disease towards newer concerns with geographies of health, resilience and contentment. Part Four: Geographies of Social Justice connects ideas through an examination of the possibilities and practicalities of normative theory and frames the central notion of Social geography, that things always could and should be different. Part Five: Doing Social Geography is not exploring the 'how to' of research, but rather the entanglement of it with practicalities,
