- Title
Being genealogical in digital geographies.

- Abstract
In this intervention, I trace the genealogies of the recent heralding of digital geographies as a boundary object for scholarship and scholars foregrounding the digital in geography. Building off of previous efforts to be technopositional in digital geographies, I make an entreaty for further being genealogical by attuning to the insider/outsider positionalities that have informed this particular endeavour of intellectual community‐making in Anglo‐American geography. While genealogy is not an exercise in historical narration, it works against dehistorical narratives of digital technologies and of the disciplinary frameworks within which they are engaged, destabilizes technopositional privileges, and has the potential to engender more inclusive digital geography futures. Key Messages: Digital geographies has recently emerged as a boundary object for disciplinary engagements with digital phenomena in Anglo‐American human geography.The development of digital geographies has been informed by collective practices of scholarly community building across pedagogical traditions, including cultural geography and Critical GIScience.An attention to the genealogical insider/outsider positionalities that make and are made by digital geographies affords opportunities to engender a more inclusive geographic subfield.
