Discursive framing of policy problems and knowledge in Erasmus+ capacity building in higher education partnerships
Erasmus+ Capacity Building in Higher Education supports higher education partnerships between the Global South and the Global North. This article analyses agenda setting of the instrument, using policy and governance documents as data. To justify the need for E + CBHE, the EU constructs problems Global South HEIs struggle with, drawing upon globalised discourses of the neoliberal economy and modernity. Research-based knowledges and Southern knowl…
Transformational geographies of academic advocacy
This article provides new insights into critical historical geographies of the university by examining how Berkeley's highly politicized campus environment of the 1960s both shaped and was reshaped by the institutionalization of academic advocacy. We center our analysis on the first ombudsperson of the University of California (UC) system to understand how their advocacy helped with safeguarding the rights, bodies, and spaces of students and fell…
Travelling in time, between places, and jobs
Based on the assumption that mobility has both spatial and temporal dimensions, the aim of this paper is to bring forth the often-neglected temporal dimensions of international academic mobility. We explore how time and temporality plays a role in the decisions and lived lives of international academics by analysing their experiences and mobility trajectories. We do so by drawing on qualitative interviews with 21 international academics differing…
(Un)wanted bodies and the internationalisation of higher education
In this paper, we foreground the bodies of students and academics in studies of the internationalisation of higher education (IHE) and consider how internationalisation processes are shaped by embodiment and the geographies of (em)placement. Over the past 20 years, IHE has been extensively discussed within academic and policy circles. Such accounts have often been dominated by macro-level concerns. Within these discourses, the international mobil…
Continuity and change of internationalization during the pandemic
Continuity and Change of Internationalisation during the Pandemic
Based on 17 qualitative interviews with staff and international students conducted at Danish higher education institutions during the autumn 2020, this paper asks how the international classroom was shaped and explores the nature of the international student experience during the pandemic. Faced with the insecurity and restrictions on mobility caused by the pandemic, Danish higher education made a rapid shift to online and/or blended learning. Th…
Emplacing English as lingua franca in international higher education
Within higher education, internationalisation is increasingly important for students and academics alike. In this context, English as the lingua franca has gained prominence. The ostensible ubiquity of English rests on a particular rendering of the language as unitary, fixed, and undifferentiated. In this paper, we challenge this notion of English and use a spatial approach to explore the multiplicity of Englishes on display within the higher edu…
Space, place and internationalisation of higher education
The aim of this paper is to use a spatial approach to tease out implicit understandings of what is perceived as the ‘good’ student, the ‘right’ pedagogies and ‘legitimate’ knowledge in higher education internationalisation practices. We do so by attending to the social practices in the ‘international’ classroom and explore how such practices are shaped and impacted by students' various backgrounds, educational paths, prior knowledges and at the s…
Transnational research capacity building
This essay explores transnational capacity building projects to highlight some of the structural and processual challenges in decolonizing institutional spaces and power structures. We offer a view from the Global North by drawing on our own experiences of such projects and argue that issues of coloniality in research capacity-building projects must be understood together with the concepts of dependency and universality of knowledge. Two examples…
Capacity-building projects in African higher education
This article studies issues of coloniality in so-called capacity-building projects between universities in Africa and Scandinavia. Even fifty years after independence, the African higher education landscape is a product of the colonial powers and subsequent uneven power relations, as argued by a number of researchers. The uneven geography and power of knowledge exist also between countries that were not in a direct colonial relationship, which th…
Materialities and mobilities in transnational capacity building projects
This paper analyses so‐called capacity building projects in African universities in relation to mobility and access to materiality. Capacity‐building projects are typically framed as transnational projects funded by a donor in the Global North, targeting researchers in the Global South. Inevitably, these projects are embedded in various types of coloniality, which the “capacity building” discourse itself shows. During and after colonialism, uneve…

The geography of peace
An important aspect of the 1979 Peace Treaty between Egypt and Israel was normalisation through cooperation. However, this has proven difficult; especially the ‘Arab street’ has been against the collaborative activities. After the Arab Spring, it has been questioned whether the Peace Treaty would be upheld. In order to understand the future of the Egyptian-Israeli peace, this paper uses a geographical approach to examine why agrarian cooperation …
Using student interviews for becoming a reflective geographer
This paper presents a case for interviewing students as an effective yet complex way to integrate reflexive practice into teaching and research. Even though many human geographers are accustomed to conducting qualitative interviews in various contexts, it is not straightforward to interview one's own students. This paper addresses three issues: implications of doing insider interviews; ethical issues of interviewing students where power relations…
Timeline interviews
The aim of this paper is to explain and discuss timeline interviews as a method for doing life history research. It is a ‘how to’ article explaining the strengths and weaknesses of using a timeline when conducting qualitative interviews. The method allows the interviewee to participate in the reporting of the interview which may give raise to ownership and sharing of the analytical power in the interview situation. Exactly for this reason, it may…

Understanding pastoral mobility
Based on a case study from Sahelian Senegal, this paper analyses how various actors perceive the importance of pastoral mobility and presents issues of importance for understanding the use of mobility among Fulani of Ferlo. One knowledge system is a scientific one, the 'new rangeland paradigm'. According to this, pastoral mobility is a means to balance variability in dryland resources; hence, 'nature' is the point of departure. Another knowledge …

Knowledge constructions in research communities
Construction of scientific knowledge can be seen as a struggle over who should define the terms and conditions of legitimate fields of research. Sociologists of scientific knowledge (SSK) have pointed to the importance of analysing scientific knowledge in the same way as other types of knowledge. This idea guides the present paper on Danish research in agriculture and rural areas. Based on an ethnographic study of researchers involved in rural st…
Pastoral Mobility
Introduction Mobility is often regarded as an important characteristic of pastoral societies and their ways of production in Africa. However, the interpretation of the rationale and importance of pastoral mobility changes along with the various discourses and depending on the professional background of the researcher. While the positive perception of mobility is relatively new among researchers of drylands, this is not a new line of thought among…
The geography of pastoral mobility
The aim of this paper is to show the contribution of geography to the study of pastoral mobility. While pastoralists of Ferlo, Senegal, have become semi-sedentary, little is known about the mobility of their livestock. In this paper, pastoral mobility is analysed using GPS measurements of cattle movements made by a pastoralist from 1997 to 2000. Based on data from 3 years, a quantification of the extent of movements and mappings of the patterns a…

Estimating vegetative productivity gradients around watering points in the rangelands of Northern Senegal based on Noaa AVHRR data
This paper tests the hypothesis that high dry season grazing pressures around watering points in rangelands in northern Senegal has a negative effect on vegetative productivity. Time series of NOAA AVHRR satellite images for three rainy seasons are used to estimate integrated NDVI (iNDVI) at a resolution of I km2, and assess the dependence of iNDVI on distance to the nearest dry season water source. The observed ‘iNDVI gradients’ around watering …
