  • Postcolonial Geographies
    Chapter 30 Postcolonial Geographies James R. Ryan Introduction ...He sees that more children have raised their hands to ask questions. “Yes, Joseph.” “You have told us about black history. You have been telling us about our heroes and our glorious victories. But most seem to end in defeat. Now I want to ask my question . If what you say is true, why then was it possible for a handful of Europeans to conquer a continent and to lord it over us for four hundred years? How was it possible, unless it is because they have bigger brains, and that we are the children of Ham, as they say in the Christian Bible?” He suddenly starts fuming with anger. He knows that a teacher should not erupt into anger but he feels his defeat in that question. Maybe the journey has been long and they have wandered over too many continents and over too large a canvas of time. “Look, Joseph. You have been reading eeh, American children’s encyclopedia and the Bible. They used the Bible to steal the souls and minds of ever-grinning Africans, caps folded at the back, saying prayers of gratitude for small crumbs labelled aid, loans, famine relief while big companies are busy collecting gold and silver and diamonds, and while we fight among ourselves saying I am a Kuke, I am a Luo, I am a Luhyia, I am a Somali ...and... and . There are times, Joseph, when victory is defeat and defeat is victory.” (Ngu˜gı˜ wa Thiong’o, Petals of Blood, 1977: 238) This short passage is taken from Ngu˜gı˜ wa Thiong’o’s 1977 novel Petals of Blood.

Poole, Ph.D. Dean, Cratis D. Williams School of Graduate Studies Copyright by Jesse Andrews 2017 All Rights Reserved Abstract A PRACTIUM ON UNCERTAINTY: CREATION OF AN HGIS DATABASE Jesse Andrews B.A., University of North Carolina Greensboro Chairperson: Kathleen Schroeder Integrating Geographic Information Systems (GIS) historical sources and geospatial technology offers a fruitful new approach to mapping, analyzing, and modeling the past. This project employs sources freely available online to create a historical geodatabase of the A Line of the Mexican National Railroad circa 1910. The project utilizes satellite imagery, census data, historical maps, train schedules along with postcards and photography from the period, to reconstruct the rail line and its stations shortly before the Mexican Revolution. These sources are combined in a GIS to create a highly accurate map and associated historical database of the system as it existed in the first decade of the 20th Century. The database suggests the potential of future scholarship combining GIS software, satellite imagery, and online source materials.

  • Planning, Projects, Practice
    Planning, Projects, Practice A Human Geography of the Stockholm Local Investment Programme in Hammarby Sjöstad Jonas R Bylund Department of Human Geography Stockholm University 2006 Abstract Programmes and policies to support ecological sustainable development and the practice of implementation is a question of innovation rather than known and taken for granted procedure. This thesis argues a priori models concern- ing stability in the social sciences, and human geography especially, are less able to help us understand this practice and planning in such unstable situa- tions. Problematic in common understandings of planning and policy imple- mentation concerning sustainability are the dualisms between physical-so- cial spaces and between rationality-contingency. The first dualism makes it hard to grasp the interaction between humans and nonhumans. The second dualism concerns the problem of how to capture change without resorting to reductionism and explanaining the evolving projects as either technically, economically, or culturally rational. The scope of the thesis is to test resources from actor-network theory as a means of resolving these dualisms. The case is the Stockholm Local In- vestment Programme and the new district of Hammarby Sjöstad. The pro- gramme’s objective was to support the implemention of new technologies and systems, energy efficiency and reduced resource-use as well as eco-cy- cling measures. The case-study follows how the work with the programme unfolded and how administrators’ efforts to reach satisfactory results was approached. In doing this, the actors had to be far more creative than models of implementation and traditional technology diffusion seem to suggest. The recommendation is to take the instrumentalisation framing the plasticity of a project in planning seriously – as innovativeness is not a special but the general case.

  • “History and Philosophy of Geography I: the Slow, the Turbulent, and the Dissenting”
    “HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY OF GEOGRAPHY I: THE SLOW, THE TURBULENT, AND THE DISSENTING” INNES M. KEIGHREN AUTHOR’S POST-PRINT VERSION ACCEPTED FOR PUBLICATION IN PROGRESS IN HUMAN GEOGRAPHY DOI: 10.1177/0309132516653285 History and philosophy of geography I: The slow, the turbulent, and the dissenting Innes M Keighren Royal Holloway, University of London, UK Abstract This report takes as its prompt John K Wright’s 1925 ‘plea for the history of geography’—an early call for an inclusive account of geographical thought and practice, embracing both professional and amateur ways of knowing. In reflecting on the extent to which contemporary histories of geography realise the scope of Wright’s ambition, the paper considers how external pressures, such as neoliberalism and academia’s audit culture, function to shape and constrain the writing of those histories. The paper argues for the value of ‘slow’ scholarship as an act of political resistance and as a sine qua non of nuanced and comprehensive historiography. The report concludes by examining how biographical and genealogical approaches to narrating geography’s histories have important implications for the decisions made about inclusion and exclusion, about what and who counts in geography. Keywords biography, genealogy, geosophy, histories of geography, John K Wright, neoliberal academia, slow scholarship The history of geography is often regarded as a somewhat antiquarian and useless background to modern geography … or as the harmless hobby of collectors of old maps. (Wright, 1925a: 194) The history of geography as a whole and in its wider bearings has been neglected … or at least it has not received the attention which any enthusiast may, perhaps, be permitted to regard as its due.

  • Ag2184 New Urban Sociology & Environmental Psychology
    AG2184 6.0 credits NEW URBAN SOCIOLOGY & Urbanism Studies ENVIRONMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY ABE / KTH FOR URBAN DESIGN Spring 2017 COURSE COORDINATORS Dr. Hélène Littke, Urban and Regional Studies, KTH | [email protected] Dr. Pernilla Hagbert, Urban and Regional Studies, KTH | [email protected] EXAMINER Dr. Tigran Haas, Urban and Regional Studies, KTH | [email protected] COURSE DESCRIPTION Urban Sociology and Environmental Psychology are interdisciplinary fields focused on the sociological study of life and human interaction in urban areas and the interplay between individuals and their surroundings. The course explores the interdependent role cities play in the development of society as a whole, along with the changing character of urbanity. Students are first introduced to key theoretical formulations and models in the area of environmental psychology related to people and places, such as personal space, place attachment, place identity, behavioral settings, environmental restoration, affordances, cognitive maps and wayfinding and others. Relationships between the physical environment, natural and human-made, and the behavior of human beings are studied in-depth; focusing on perceptual, cognitive, and motivational aspects of the human-environmental interaction. The course especially focuses on applications of behavioral studies in urban design projects. The course then goes on to explore theories surrounding urban societal development, starting with the Modern sociological “classics” that shaped urban theory and practice during the 20th century, and followed by a critical review of the issues related to urban (re)development we face today, including aspects of social and environmental (in)justice, gentrification, and “urban sustainability”. The course addresses urban politics, economic systems and housing markets, democracy and participation in public policy processes, and questions of class, gender, ethnicity, and culture in relation to urban environments.

Lake and approved by ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May 2012 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION A Systems Approach to Historic Preservation in an Era of Sustainability Planning by ERICA CHRISTINE AVRAMI Dissertation Director: Robert W. Lake, Ph.D. The public outcry over large scale urban renewal projects of the mid-20th century served a catalytic role in the codification of the modern historic preservation movement in the United States. While theories of heritage and its protection underpinned policy development, the discourse surrounding the loss of historic fabric and the fracturing of communities within American cities played a critical role in the institutionalization of the field. It effectively pitted preservation as a counter movement against the public and private interests seeking social progress through rational planning paradigms. The modern preservation infrastructure – including institutions, legislation, and policies – is now half a century old, but the conceptual dynamics that isolated preservation from other land use decision-making at the juncture of its institutionalization persist. The disjuncture between preservation and broader land use and building policies presents new challenges in light of contemporary sustainability concerns.

  • Historical Geography, Geographical History, and the American Way
    7 Historical Geography, Geographical History, and The American Way Edward K. Muller he future of historical geography within the larger discipline of geography seems to some, once again, problematic. In the closing Tdecades of the twentieth century, geographers have accentuated applied and practical pursuits as well as theoretical and policy-oriented studies. Despite more than thirty years of impressive scholarship and a moment in the limelight in the late 1970s when geographers took stock after the mid-century positivistic binge, historical geographers have found themselves increasingly marginalized in the discipline. Younger historical geographers have often had to hitch their historical proclivities to social theory, environmental topics, or cultural analysis in order to find aca- demic employment. Only four years ago, Cole Harris observed that the “disciplinary landscape is being recalibrated. What seems to be hap- pening, at least in North America, is that history is becoming more geo- graphical and that geography is slowly relinquishing the past.”1 He con- cluded that even if new institutional arrangements evolved in the future, what was important was that outstanding humanistic, historical geographi- cal scholarship continue, whatever its disciplinary home. Later I wish to return to his conclusion. Harris made this observation as part of his commentary at the session of the 1998 Association of American Geographers meetings, marking the publication of Volume III of D.W. Meinig’s superb American historical geography, The Shaping of America.2 He noted the paradox that The Shap- ing of America “is one of the most geographical works that any North American geographer could possible write...

The very term signifies a simultaneous continuity and renunciation, a generation strong enough to dissolve the old order, but too weak to marshal the centrifugal forces it has released. This new literature founder in its own hard-won heterogeneity and tends to lose the sense of itself as a human institution.
