Geography studies the world. Our knowledge of the world, however, comes mostly from Anglophone sources. This makes Geography in urgent need of worlding – of including multiple voices and languages from around the world. Introducing the notion of linguistic privilege, the article establishes language as an important dimension of epistemic struggle, alongside gender, race, class and others. Its analysis finds the greatest linguistic privilege in the most influential positions in knowledge production – editors of handbooks and journals and authors of progress reports. Three strategies of worlding should challenge this: making gatekeepers multilingual, promoting multiple Englishes and valorising ex-centric knowledge.

地理学研究世界。但是，我们对世界的了解主要来自英语来源。这使得地理学迫切需要全球化，包括来自世界各地的多种声音和语言。在介绍语言特权的概念时，文章将语言与性别，种族，阶级和其他因素一起确立为认知斗争的重要方面。它的分析在知识生产中最有影响力的职位上找到了最大的语言特权-手册和期刊的编辑以及进度报告的作者。世俗化的三种策略应该对此提出挑战：使看门人具有多种语言能力，促进多种英语，并重视以前为中心的知识。
