Developing an Online Elementary Social Studies Community of Practice to Enhance K-6 Geography
Social studies instructional time in elementary schools has declined substantially. Responding to this, the National Geographic Society (NGS) developed a professional learning program called the Elementary Social Studies Community of Practice (ESSCoP). This article describes this program’s design and content, as well as evaluates its effectiveness. The project team employed surveys administered throughout the program as well as summative feedback…
Intellectual property licensing of therapeutics during the Covid-19 crisis
During the COVID-19 pandemic, intellectual property licensing through bilateral agreements and the Medicines Patent Pool were used to facilitate access to new COVID-19 therapeutics in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The lessons learnt from the application of the model to COVID-19 could be relevant for preparedness and response to future pandemics and other health emergencies. The speed at which affordable versions of a new product are a…
Negotiating public-health intellectual property licensing agreements to increase access to health technologies
Public health voluntary licensing of intellectual property has successfully been applied to increase access to medicines in certain disease areas, producing health benefits and economic savings, particularly in low-income and middle-income countries. There is however limited understanding of the intricacies of the approach, the modalities by which it works in practice, its levers and the trade-offs made. Such knowledge may be critical in deciding…
Associations between national viral hepatitis policies/programmes and country-level socioeconomic factors
Countries with differing socioeconomic status indicators did not appear to differ greatly regarding the existence of key national policies and programmes. A more nuanced understanding of the multifaceted interactions of socioeconomic factors, health policy, service delivery and health outcomes is needed to support country-level efforts to eliminate viral hepatitis
Late industrialisation, urbanisation and the middle-income trap
This article proposes and illustrates an analytical approach to understanding the relationship between urbanisation and the middle-income trap. The analytical approach is based on the view that in order to understand the nature of the middle-income trap, it is necessary to understand the development process and policy ingredients of countries that have successfully made the transition from low-income to high-income countries without getting stuck…
Global policy and access to new hepatitis C therapies for people who inject drugs
Intersecting Archives
This paper examines practices of intertextuality in the dispersion of images by some selected early West African photographers1 who utilized dry plate technologies in the late nineteenth to early twentieth century. There is a burgeoning literature on early African photographers but little attention has been devoted to their dialectical relations with each other or the modes of intertextuality that operated between photographers. Photography was a…

Leonce Raphael Agbodjelou
Leonce Raphael Agbodjelou is one of the most dynamic and creative contemporary photographers to be found in the Republic of Benin in West Africa. He was born in 1965 at Porto Novo, the coastal capital of the country near to the border with Nigeria. He acquired much of his initial mastery of photographic skills and knowledge from his father, who was the influential photographer Joseph Moise Agbodjelou (1912–2000). His father had joined the French …

The Millennium Development Goals and Human Rights
The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) have generated tremendous discussion in global policy and academic circles. On the one hand, they have been hailed as the most important initiative ever in international development. On the other hand, they have been described as a great betrayal of human rights and universal values that has contributed to a depoliticization of development. With contributions from scholars from the fields of economics, law,…
Neils Walwin Holm
This essay traces the professional trajectory of N. W. Holm, the pre-eminent photographer of Lagos, West Africa, from the 1890s until 1910. He then trained as a barrister in London and established law chambers in Lagos in 1918, despite having extolled the virtues of photography as a profession. This was at a time of increasing exclusion and discrimination of Africans by colonial administrations in West Africa. Holm had been present at the first P…

The MDG Paradigm, Productive Capacities and the Future of Poverty Reduction
The MDGs are important as they have led to a new international development consensus. However, this consensus has not effectively reduced poverty as it is based on a ‘Faustian bargain’, in which international commitment to promoting economic development and reducing global income inequality has evaporated, and national and international policies have focused on promoting global integration rather than production and employment. It is necessary no…

Masks and Modernities
Masquerade and masking traditions in Africa have been an iconic subject of African art studies throughout the twentieth century and often have served to underline historical continuities with a precolonial past. At the beginning of the twentieth century such artifacts were a key aspect of African, and especially West African, traditions of visual (and performance) practice that became entwined with a new modernist avant garde developing in Paris.…

Location Theory and Service Development Planning
In this paper, possible directions for research concerned with service-sector development in developing countries are given. Two avenues of work are suggested: (1) to analyse the assumptions about market structure which underlie World Bank adjustment programmes and, with that knowledge, to contribute to the design of alternatives to these programmes; and (2) to extend Sen's 'entitlement approach' to public service provision, including geographica…
The Spatial Separatist Theme and the Problem of Representation in Location-Allocation Models
In this paper the approach to service development planning in the 'Third World' put forward by Rushton in his 1988 Roepke Lecture is critically examined. The approach is founded on location-allocation modelling methods. It is argued that although technical improvements in these models mean that they can now represent decision situations more realistically, their conceptual structure is such that they frame the problems of service development plan…

Entitlement relations and ‘unruly’ social practices
This article examines the conceptual basis and analytical deployment of Sen's entitlement analysis in ethics and economics, focusing on the rules of entitlement. Sen specifies the rules of entitlement in different ways in his work, ignores how legal rules work in practice and downplays the way in which socially enforced moral rules constrain and enable entitlement. The appropriateness of Sen's approach for the analysis of hunger and famine and fo…
