The cumulative, timing-specific, and enduring associations between student–teacher relationships and early elementary outcomes
Using data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study—Kindergarten Class of 2011 (n = 14,370; 51% Male; 51% White; 14% Black; 25% Hispanic; 4% Asian; and 6% Other), this study examined the cumulative, timing-specific, and enduring associations between student–teacher relationships in the United States and a broad range of student outcomes. Student–teacher conflict and closeness were consistently associated with outcomes between kindergarten and …
From Indenture to “Good Governance”: EMigrate and the Politics of Reforming Global Labour Supply Chains
Contract substitution—in which workers sign one contract but end up working under another—is a common form of fraud faced by Indian low‐wage migrant workers working in the Gulf Cooperation Council states. This paper presents a study of workers’ experiences of contract substitution alongside the eMigrate system, which is a digital registration system introduced by the Indian government in 2015. While a stated aim of eMigrate is to protect workers …
Building space, building value: Residential space additions and the transformation of low-rise housing in Toronto
While much research has documented the proliferation of new residential space in Toronto through condominiumdevelopment, homeowners have been adding significant space to low-rise, single-family homes across the city through housingadditions and basement underpinnings. In this article, we analyze nearly two decades of public building permit data to map the growthin these types of space-adding renovations since 2001. We show how these renovations h…
Geographies of the Covid-19 pandemic
The spread of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has resulted in the most devastating global public health crisis in over a century. At present, over 10 million people from around the world have contracted the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), leading to more than 500,000 deaths globally. The global health crisis unleashed by the COVID-19 pandemic has been compounded by political, economic, and social crises that have exacerbated existing ineq…
Reflections on the first decade of Dialogues in Human Geography and the road ahead
Between House and Home: Renovations Labor and the Production of Residential Value
In 2014, spending on home renovations across Canada outstripped spending on actual home purchases. In this article, I explore this rise in renovations spending through a case study of these dynamics in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), a metropolitan region that has experienced extraordinary growth in both house prices and levels of household mortgage debt over the last decade. While cheap mortgage debt has often been considered a key factor facili…
Labour and the city: Some notes across theory and research
At a time of growing interest in research and theory concerning urban space and urban workers, this article explores three divergent strands of scholarly research and theory that are producing new perspectives on the relations of labour, work, and employment with processes of urbanization, the production of urban space or city life. Drawing together research and debates both within geography and outside of it, this article briefly reviews emergin…
Migrant Labor
Migrant labor, or work away from one's usual residence, often for a temporary or fixed period, has become a key facet of many labor markets. Moreover, the use of migrant labor continues to grow in importance in the twenty‐first century; in contrast to earlier eras of labor migration which were marked more heavily by opportunities for permanent settlement, contemporary labor migration has become increasingly characterized by various forms of tempo…
Labour geographies on the move: Migration, migrant status and work in the 21st century
With, against and beyond Lefebvre: Planetary urbanization and epistemic plurality
In this paper, we discuss a number of recent efforts to critique, dismantle and problematize the categorical ontologies of 'the urban' and articulate an overarching epistemological framework for urban theory. Our intervention in these debates, which to date have focused primarily on Henri Lefebvre's hypothesis regarding 'planetary urbanization', highlights the absence of an engagement with the long legacy within feminist urban scholarship of conf…
On the Work of Urbanization: Migration, Construction Labor, and the Commodity Moment
Construction labor markets are crucial to processes of urbanization, yet they have been largely overlooked as sites for research and theory at the nexus of urban and migration studies. In this article I explore how widespread trends of flexibility have transformed construction labor markets internationally in recent decades and highlight how these trends intersect with the growing incorporation of temporary migrant labor. Employing research condu…
Diversification by Urbanization: Tracing the Property-Finance Nexus in Dubai and the Gulf
This article explores the role of liberalized real estate markets in shaping financial-sector development in the Arab Gulf region. Since 2001, record oil revenues and the inflow of repatriated wealth into the region have generated immense demand for new, productive destinations for surplus capital. Gulf Cooperation Council states have subsequently undergone rapid growth that is intimately tied to the regulatory transformation of urban real estate…
Locating Neoliberalism in Dubai: Migrant Workers and Class Struggle in the Autocratic City
In recent years, portrayals of neoliberalism in Dubai have often hinged on narratives about the hyper‐exploitation of migrant workers in the city. In this paper I interrogate these narratives by exploring the governance of lower‐waged construction migrants and their recent role in market‐led processes of urbanization. Through a focus on the recent growth of private worker welfare initiatives and dozens of illegal labour strikes led by migrant bui…
