Capacity-building and diasporic civil society
Diasporic civil society stakeholders are increasingly incorporated into development programming in order to maximise the potential of their variegated roles in shaping development processes, outcomes, and trajectories. This viewpoint considers capacity-building in the context of diasporic civil society by providing an overview of the varying ways in which diasporic civil society capacity-building is operationalised within the “Northern” global de…
Visualising the foreign and the domestic in diaspora diplomacy
Diaspora diplomacy blurs the traditional conceptual dichotomies that map domestic and foreign policymaking efforts. Addressing how such distinctions are varyingly produced requires greater engagement with the way that diplomatic practice modulates the associations between belonging, nation and territory. This paper applies a semiotic analysis to a case study of the images circulated through the social media campaigns of the India Development Foun…
Metropolis
Metropolis” broadly refers to the largest, most powerful and culturally influential city of an epoch or region. Historically, the metropolis is a city that is relatively open, attracts commercial and other forms of exchange, and offers opportunities for sophisticated living. A succession of great metropolitan cities charts the course of western urban history. In this history, three forms of the metropolis can be identified. In antiquity, cities s…
The political geographies of diaspora strategies
Diaspora strategies have been at the forefront of new studies of the political geographies of state-led transnationalism, contributing important insights into the widespread socio-economic impacts of initiatives used to engage émigrés in extra-territorial nation-building. The conceptualization of the 'sending state' as a central territorialized bureaucratic form has however contributed to binary framings of diasporic space by failing to capture t…
Chronicling Kenyan Asian Diasporic Histories
Recent studies of international migration have observed its increasing complexity. Circular, return, and temporary migration between India and Kenya, arising from the economic and political multipolarities of increasing South‐South partnerships, is one example of such complexity. These flows are distinct from the migration patterns of the longer‐established Kenyan Asian diaspora, who settled under the auspices of the British Empire from the 1890s…
Articulating an Indian diaspora in South Africa
Engagements between sending states and their diasporas have come under increasing critical scrutiny. Whilst political geographers have driven critical analysis of national level policies, debates have largely overlooked the broader range of actors, transactions and practices involved in implementing national policies in a geohistorically diverse array of diasporic contexts and settings. Over the last decade, the Indian government has invested sig…
Rethinking Centers and Margins in Geography
In this article we propose a rethinking of the concepts of center and margin in geography. We review extant literatures from structuralist political geography and science studies and explore alternative theoretical approaches to develop the concept of axes of centrality. Using theories of performativity to understand centers and margins as produced across an array of axes allows for an expansion of the concept. Contemporary experiences of transna…
Negotiating the responsibilities of collaborative undergraduate fieldcourses
Undergraduate fieldcourses to destinations in the global South have received much critical scholarly and pedagogic attention. This article reflects on a third‐year Geography fieldcourse to K enya, which aimed to collaborate with local partners in providing an immersive and co‐constitutive learning environment that transcended the politics of knowledge production defining the global South as a distanciated object of study. We shape our reflections…
Decolonising the diaspora
Governments are increasingly engaging with their diasporas as a means of managing their national economies. Nevertheless, analyses of government diaspora strategies have not adequately accounted for the complexities of diasporic affiliations and identities, especially those not easily brought into the purview of economic governance. Drawing on performative understandings of how national polities are realised, this paper argues that incorporating …
Repaying the gift of life
A total of 2,552 organs from deceased donors were transplanted in the UK in 2009, yet more than 1,000 people die each year waiting for an organ transplant. The metaphor of the ‘gift of life’ remains the rubric under which increasing the availability of organs for transplant is commonly organised. Like all gifts, the ‘gift of life’ must be reciprocated. Reviewing the advice given by, and for, transplant recipients in self-help and autobiographical…

Gender, Work and Economic Restructuring in a Transcarpathia (Ukraine) Village
This paper combines two sources of qualitative data, focus group interviews and ethnographic research, to discuss gender as a factor in changes to work and identity in a rural Ukrainian village. Analyzing data from focus groups I conducted in the winter and fall of 1997 at my dissertation field site in Transcarpathia, I argue that in this community gender differences are as important as generational differences in shaping participants' evaluation…

Is The Australian National Heart Foundation programme effective in reducing cholesterol levels among general practice patients?
Despite the contribution of elevated cholesterol to the development of cardiovascular disease, many individuals continue to have cholesterol levels greater than the 5.5 mmol/l recommended by the Australian National Heart foundation (NHF). Although general practitioners appear to be well placed to offer dietary advice to help patients to reduce their cholesterol levels, there have been few if any randomised trials evaluating the effectiveness of g…
The Senior Seminar at Rider College
Recent discussions about the goals and values of a liberal arts education in general, and of the sociology major in particular, have highlighted the importance of a capstone course. Many departments now are interested in restructuring the sociology curriculum to include such a course. Attractive as the idea of a capstone may be, however, concerns may exist about how the course works in practice. Should a capstone course cap the undergraduate expe…

Obstacles to the development of a capitalist agriculture
This paper examines some of the reasons for the maintenance and persistence of family labour farms within agricultural sectors of advanced capitalist countries: some obstacles to the development of a capitalist agriculture are highlighted. The survival of family farms has called into question Marx's theory of the transitional nature of petty commodity production; hence, Marxism is generally regarded as being unable to account for the viability of…
