Simon Springer: Anarchist from Canada

Born in 1976, Simon Springer is a widely recognized Canadian anarchist and professor known for his extensive work in the field of Radical Geography. Springer was actively involved in exposing the political underpinnings of daily life and its interconnectedness with geography through his academia, shaping narratives around 'Anarchist Geographies'. He applies the principles of anarchism as practical forms of spatial theory and antiauthoritarian politics within the practice of geographical exploration.

Exclusive of Springer's series of influential writings and publications, his most notable contributions to the field include 'The Anarchist Roots of Geography: Toward Spatial Emancipation', which decolonizes our perception of geography and the reorienting view of anarchy, keeping it at par with society and power. While actively rejecting neoliberalism, Springer's works convey a shift in societal patterns and ways of interaction. His assessments are taken as major drivers for reframing socio-economic discourses in the light of anarchist studies. Simon Springer's scholarly endeavours invariably tack on the existence of hierarchical structures, driving dialogues around anarchist principles in academia.
