Corporate Social Responsibility with Chinese Characteristics: Institutional Embeddedness, Political Logic, and Comparative Theoretical Perspective
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in China has evolved from reproducing Western-centric frameworks to engaging with the institutional and political particularities that shape how CSR is reconfigured and practiced. Yet few studies have critically reviewed this growing body of literature to capture the core characteristics and mechanisms of state-corporate coordination in China. This paper fills this gap by reviewing 112 peer-reviewed English-l…

The Transcendent Patterning of Medical Pluralism: Religion and Medical Practices Among Miao Migrants in China
Based on ethnographic fieldwork on the medical practices of Miao internal migrants in China, in this article we critique the hierarchical and discrete ontologies of "pluralism" prevalent in anthropological studies of medical pluralism. It examines how Miao migrants construct an informal pluralistic medical system that integrates shamanistic ritual healing, herbalism, and "folk" biomedicine within a pragmatically grounded yet spiritually coherent …
Multispecies home (un)making: Dogs and lifestyle migrants in Lijiang Ancient Town, China
This study advances scholarship in animal geography by examining how dogs participate in the processual and relational making and unmaking of home within the context of global lifestyle migration. Drawing on longitudinal ethnographic fieldwork with 36 participants in Lijiang Ancient Town, China, this study traces the spatial-affective entanglements between lifestyle migrants and their companion dogs. It reveals how dogs co-construct multispecies …
Toward Postsecular Feminism: Intersectionality and the Religious Subjectivities of Women Migrant Workers in China
This article investigates the subjectivities of Christian women migrant workers within the context of China’s social transformation, characterized by the interactive advancement of global capitalism, rural-to-urban migration, and “Christian fever.” Despite the burgeoning literature on women migrant workers in global capitalism within geographical scholarship, there has been less focus on women migrants’ religious subjectivity and agency. Drawing …
Visualising the academic mobility of Nobel laureates
The academic mobility of Nobel laureates (NLs) epitomises not only the inter-urban knowledge flows and networks but also the spatial evolution of the world’s scientific hubs. Yet the understanding of the mobility and patterns of Nobel laureates’ scholarly migration remains limited. To address this gap, we elucidate the trajectories of academic mobility for 734 Nobel laureates and how their migratory patterns change in different geopolitical eras …
Lived religion in a digital age: Technology, Affect and the Pervasive Space-Times of 'New' Religious Praxis
This paper explores how Christian practices of prayer are being reconfigured through digital media in Singapore. Although digital technologies are an area of burgeoning interest amongst social and cultural geographers, the ways in which these technologies reconfigure the space-times of religious praxis and engender new affective relations or subjectivities of religion have not yet been embraced. This paper fills the lacuna by bringing existing st…

Squeezed out by the market, seeking strength in the network: Makeshift temples and the spatio‐affective logics of survival in Singapore
This paper offers an understanding of the spatio‐affective workings of religious organisations – and the marketplaces they operate in and through – that go beyond capitalist logics. We do so by examining how makeshift temples representing various forms of ‘Chinese religion’ survive in Singapore. Capitalist logics fail to explain how such marginal and precarious religious organisations, which might be ‘squeezed out’ by the market, nonetheless mana…
International collaborative follow-up investigation of graduating high school students’ understandings of the nature of scientific inquiry: Is progress Being made
Understandings of the nature of scientific inquiry (NOSI), as opposed to engaging students in inquiry learning experiences, are included in science education reform documents around the world. However, little is known about what students have learned about NOSI during their pre-college school years. The purpose of this large-scale follow-up international project (i.e. 32 countries and regions, spanning six continents and including 3917 students f…
Investigating the “Embodied Spaces of Health” in Marathon Running: The Roles of Embodiment, Wearable Technology, and Affective Atmospheres
This paper examines how spaces of health are produced through embodied and affective practices in marathon running in China. While the social-cultural effects of distance running have gained increasing attention among public health scholars and policymakers, there has been little effort paid to the spatiality of running and its contributions to producing healthy spaces for the general public. This paper therefore fills the lacuna through a qualit…
What and whose Confucianism? Sinophone communities and dialogical geopolitics
This commentary responds to An et al.’s (2021) article, ‘Towards a Confucian Geopolitics’, by re-examining ‘the political’ of Confucianism and its contribution to fostering a cosmopolitan form of Confucian geopolitics. By taking note of the differences within and between Sinophone communities, we discuss the variegated forms of Confucianism, and their various geopolitical implications. In doing so, we call for re-theorising Confucian geopolitics …

Rethinking Wildlife Tourism and Conservation during the Covid-19 Pandemic: An Animal Ethics Perspective
This paper examines how different animal ethics—utilitarianism, animal rights, ecofeminism, and ecocentrism—may justify, improve or thwart animals' welfare in different wildlife tourism situations in the context of COVID-19. First, we question the limitation of utilitarianism in terms of its failure to weigh human and animal suffering equally. Instead, ecofeminism and its emotional ethics of empathy and care help develop people's moral reflexivit…

The aspiration for moral manhood: Christianity, class and migrant workers’ negotiation of masculinities in Shenzhen, China
Secularisation and resistant politics of sacred space in Guangzhou's ancestral temple, China
Recent theoretical advancements in geographies of religion have reconceptualised secularisation as a multi‐scaled, grounded process of place‐making that reconciles the “agent‐in‐place” with large, institutional differentiation and fragmentation. This paper contributes to this re‐theorisation by examining the context of urban regeneration in which macro‐ and meso‐scaled secularisation is performed, negotiated and contested at the scale of the loca…
