In this Progress in Human Geography annual lecture I reflect on geographical
contributions to academic and policy debates about how we might forge civic
culture out of difference. In doing so I begin by tracing a set of disparate
geographical writings — about the micro-publics of everyday life,
cosmopolitanism hospitality, and new urban citizenship — that have sought to
understand the role of shar... hiện toàn bộ
The paper focuses on how futures are anticipated and acted on in relation to a
set of events that are taken to threaten liberal democracies. Across different
domains of life the future is now problematized as a disruption, a surprise.
This problematization of the future as indeterminate or uncertain has been met
with an extraordinary proliferation of anticipatory action. The paper argues
that anti... hiện toàn bộ
This article applies Massey's (2005) call for a relational understanding of
space that can challenge aspatial readings of globalization to the study of
globalization in a rural context. Critiquing existing rural research for tending
towards studies of global commodity chains and overarching processes of
globalization, it argues for more place-based studies of globalization as
experienced in rural ... hiện toàn bộ
In this report I argue that environmental racism is constituent of racial
capitalism. While the environmental justice movement has been a success on many
levels, there is compelling evidence that it has not succeeded in actually
improving the environments of vulnerable communities. One reason for this is
because we are not conceptualizing the problem correctly. I build my argument by
first emphasi... hiện toàn bộ
Resilience is everywhere in contemporary debates about global environmental
change. The application of resilience concepts to social and ecological systems
and dilemmas has been roundly critiqued for under-theorizing social dimensions,
and human geographers particularly have been an important critical voice in
highlighting the omission of social, political and cultural dynamics from
different resi... hiện toàn bộ
Much research on nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) involved in international
development has been case-study-based, with questions about the broader
geographies of NGO intervention rarely asked. This paper explores the factors
that drive such NGO geographies and considers how they relate to the uneven
geographies of poverty and livelihood produced under contemporary processes of
capitalist expa... hiện toàn bộ

Time geography had led geographers to analyse and model activity-travel patterns
since the 1970s. The notion that activity-travel patterns are highly constrained
has been frequently used in analytical studies and models of space-time
behaviour. The popularity of this field of research lost most of its momentum in
geography in the 1990s, but is now the dominant approach among civil engineers
