I’ll add more as I see them (please feel free to post in comments).

A number of Doreen’s pieces from Open Democracy are here. Her essays in Antipode are now open access here; and in Society and Space here. Her essay “Places and Their Pasts“, History Workshop Journal 39 (part of a HWJ feature on ‘Re-thinking the Idea of Place’ from 1995) is also open access.

My own, very brief, thoughts from March 12th are here.

I’m hearing news on twitter that Doreen Massey has died. This is very sad, for family and friends of course, but also for Geography, where her work had a major impact. She was one of the geographers whose work I knew about before I came into the discipline, mainly for her Spatial Divisions of Labour book but also her earlier collaborative book Capital and Land. Of course she went on to write several more books, including Space, Place and Gender, For Space and World City. I heard her talk a couple of times, once at the Soundings launch event, but only met her briefly. I can’t find an online announcement or obituary, but will link when I find one.

Update: the Open University has an announcement here.

Update 2: I’m compiling a list of tributes here.
