In December 2016, Glen MacDonald, the current president of the American Association of Geographers (AAG) shared his thoughts in a column titled "Geography in a Post-Truth World." This post was inspired in part by the Oxford Dictionary's selection of "post-truth" as the 2016 Word of the Year. "For scholars and educators," MacDonald writes, "the idea that being truthful is now optional should be deeply troubling, as it undermines the ethical and operational foundations upon which we function."
