The skills, knowledge, and attributes of the supervising teacher in initial teacher education
School placements are an integral component of a pre-service teacher’s experience, and the supervising teacher is potentially the first point of crossing from theory to practice. These important partners help pre-service teachers to navigate between their university study and career context. This paper presents a scoping review that reports on skills, knowledge, and attributes of supervising teachers. The review also outlines what is currently kn…
Perspective of Supervising Teachers and Tertiary Supervisors on Professional Learning for Professional Experience
To examine current support mechanisms for supervising teachers and tertiary supervisors in professional experience placements, we investigated the perceived effectiveness of and explored strategies for enhancing university–school collaboration through the lens of situated learning theory, operationalized via a Communities of Practice framework. Data were collected from 282 interview participants across multiple institutions. Findings reveal oppor…
Australian geography's challenges and community-based learned societies in its future
Environmental crisis, socio-spatial inequalities, and geopolitical turmoil: geography's relevance has never been greater. Yet, paradoxically, the discipline of geography in Australia faces diminished public appreciation, semantic and substantive elimination from university programs, falling school enrolments, and the challenges of out-of-field teaching. Against this backdrop voluntary, community-based learned societies (VCBLS) such as Geography V…
A Follow-Up Study of an Early Childhood Mentoring Program
Government funded mentoring programs are one strategy to address the supply crisis of early childhood teachers (ECTs) in Australia. There is little or no published research on the long-term impacts of these programs. This paper presents the findings of an evaluation survey completed 18 months after the mentoring program finished, covering the perspectives of experienced ECTs (mentors) and beginning ECTs (mentees). The participants (N = 39) report…
Collaboratively crafting learning standards for tertiary education for environment and sustainability
Purpose The aim of this paper is to outline the collaborative approach used to craft national learning standards for tertiary programs in the field of environment and sustainability in Australia. The field of environment and sustainability is broad and constituted by diverse stakeholders. As such, articulating a common set of learning standards presents challenges. Design/methodology/approach The authors developed and used a staged collaborative …
Searching for sanctuary during Covid-19
This article draws upon the findings of an exploratory qualitative study of regional South Australian tourists' nature-based tourism experiences during COVID-19. Through the implementation of focus group interview sessions with participants across three age group categories, it was evident that many participants had visited nature-based settings in pursuit of health benefits. From the perspective of physical health, national parks and conservatio…
Road mapping recovery from the impacts of multiple crises
In regional South Australia, a combination of droughts, bushfires and the COVID-19 pandemic has presented dynamic challenges to tourism economies. As inbound international tourism remains unlikely to return to pre-COVID-19 levels for the foreseeable future, the importance of domestic tourism has become further pronounced, most notably in regions that have been affected by major declines in tourist flows. This exploratory qualitative study reports…
Changing Australian leisure mobilities in the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect leisure mobilities globally. In Australia, the pandemic has radically influenced the mobilities of domestic tourists, with travellers subjected to dynamic and intermittent restrictions on both intrastate and interstate movement since March, 2020. This paper reports on the findings of a study conducted between June and July 2020 that explored Australians' intentions to participate in tourism as COVID-19 le…
Qualitative Data
Against the backdrop of mounting skepticism about scientism in the social sciences over the past 40 years, qualitative data has achieved a new prominence in human geography. Geographers have become increasingly attentive to the ways people make sense of the places they inhabit and to their understandings of the meaning of action. After first defining qualitative data and setting out some of the forms it takes, this entry discusses a variety of is…

Moving pictures
Documentary films have often taken a pivotal role in strategies to internationalize (geography) curricula and classrooms, being used as a method of bringing the world to the classroom. These documentaries overwhelmingly take ethnographic form. Problematically, the documentary gaze is characteristically that of an outside film crew and narrator mediating relationships between the “subjects” of the documentary and the ways they are heard and seen. …
Handbook on Wealth and the Super-Rich
Defending letters
This paper is a mainly pragmatic response to utilitarian criticisms of the humanities. It first outlines political, public and practical fronts on which the humanities are under assault, identifying critics and their conspirators. Then, as a part of its defence of the humanities it expounds some of their central strengths. These range from the philosophical to the practical: lending critical perspectives to knowledge production, enriching lives, …
‘Darkness on the edge of town’ (or how higher education has improved…)

Antipodean Reflections, Connections, and Perceptions
Last year I wrote an introductory editorial (Hay, 2014) acknowledging the wonderful work of my Editor-in-Chief predecessor, Phil O'Neill, and setting out key themes for the journal's new strategic direction. Now, as my editorial term draws to a close, I thought it appropriate to bookend those comments with some remarks on the journal's development over the past two years. How has Geographical Research changed in this period? Significantly I think…
Australian Inflections
Early this year, Professor Phil O'Neill and Associate Professor Clive Forster stepped down from the editorial roles with Geographical Research. Although I have acknowledged their work elsewhere, I have been slow to commend them in this forum for their stellar work with the journal. Under Phil's leadership as Editor-in-Chief, and with Clive's involvement, the journal had some great successes. Three come to mind immediately. The first was the treme…
Change, anxiety and exclusion in the post-colonial reconfiguration of Franco-Mauritian elite geographies
Using the example of Mauritius, this paper seeks to enhance our understanding of how elites reorganise their environs when their position and power are threatened. In 1968 Mauritius became independent and for Franco-Mauritians, the island's former white colonial elite, this meant that a regime favourable to their dominant position ended. This paper outlines ways in which Franco-Mauritians have transformed their everyday geographies in the face of…

Advice and reflections for a university teacher beginning an academic career
Although graduate programs typically prepare university students well for research activity, many have been less successful in educating for other aspects of academic careers. This article discusses Iain Hay's “Letter to a New University Teacher,” which has been used internationally to help new lecturers beginning their career. Prepared as an autoethnographic account for a recent graduate, “The Letter” distils principles held to underpin a succes…
Questioning generosity in the golden age of philanthropy
This is the golden age of philanthropy. Over the 55-year period 1998–2052, bequests to charity in the USA alone are estimated to be between $109 and $454 billion per year. This paper exhorts geographers to give critical attention to less-than-charitable consequences of the so-called ‘new philanthropy’ among the super-rich. It sets out a number of areas that appear to warrant critical geographical inquiry, including: bonds between philanthropic en…
Over the Threshold—Setting Minimum Learning Outcomes (Benchmarks) for Undergraduate Geography Majors in Australian Universities
The Australian federal government is preparing a new higher education quality assurance framework under the leadership of the recently established Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA). Groundwork for this framework included a major national demonstration project to develop outcome-based graduate standards in a selected range of disciplines. This paper describes this project, focusing on the process by which threshold learning o…
That Tiny, Stratospheric Apex That Owns Most of the World'- Exploring Geographies of the Super-Rich
This paper exhorts geographers to give critical attention to the super-rich, defined as individuals with investable assets in excess of $1 million. The super-rich currently number almost 11 million globally (2011) and have collective wealth in excess of $42 trillion. We argue that as a result of our discipline's typical, and not unjustifiable, focus on the poor and middle class, and our neglect of the super-rich, geographers may both be overlooki…
International Collaboration in Organizations Promoting Geography Education
Effective teaching about many of the geographical issues now confronting Earth and humanity requires collective approaches and shared solutions. It follows, therefore, that there is a need to better understand the basis of and process for sustaining successful international collaboration among geography educators. This paper first examines some of the underpinnings to, and characteristics of, successful network building. Then, in order to explore…

Monuments, memory and marginalisation in adelaide's prince henry gardens
Social and cultural dominance is (re)produced in the landscape by the exclusion or marginalisation of subordinate and minority groups. This paper illustrates the long‐standing and ongoing exclusion of representations of indigeneity in and around Prince Henry Gardens, part of one of the most significant cultural and memorial sites in South Australia. Prince Henry Gardens is home to a large number of monuments and memorials that commemorate almost …

Making Moral Imaginations. Research Ethics, Pedagogy, and Professional Human Geography
This paper exhorts geographers to become more active in debate about ethical research practice. It also suggests that ethical theory, practical problems, and lessons learned from postmodern thought make the prospects of establishing prescriptive codes of ethics unlikely. Instead, flexible prompts for moral contemplation might be used to encourage careful thought on matters of ethics. Because the practical feasibility of moral prompts rests on the…

Ethics, Geography and Responsible Citizenship [1]
Responsible citizenship requires moral accountability. Geography educators need to give greater attention to the teaching of professional ethics as part of our contribution to the education of responsible citizens. The paper introduces an approach which couples the case method with a jurisprudential inquiry model as a means by which geography teachers might contribute effectively to this education. The approach requires students to review a case …

Strength in Diversity
Postgraduate education in geography, especially at the Master's level, is undergoing significant changes in the developed world. There is an expansion of vocationally oriented degree programmes, increasing recruitment of international students, integration of workplace skills, and the engagement of non-traditional postgraduate students as departments respond to policies for a more ‘inclusive’ higher education. This paper sets the context by outli…
Justifying and applying oral presentations in geographical education
Teaching students the ability to communicate is acknowledged to be a central objective of university education. The oral presentation of research findings by students represents an internationally used device by which skills in spoken communication are developed and tested. Often, however, presentations are demanded from students with little preliminary advice being provided on the keys to effective oral presentation. As well as addressing the sh…

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll in Hyde Park
This paper recounts the transformation of a student study on fear of violence and the use of urban space into a public instrument of oppression. Although the students' survey was conducted with emancipatory intent, media handling of the study's results is likely to have heightened levels of fear in the local population and to have caused some members of the public to imprison themselves in their own homes
Application of a poster exercise in an advanced undergraduate geography course
This paper discusses the nature and application of a research poster exercise in senior (e.g., final year undergraduate) university classes. The exercise consists of three components. First, students are involved in a piece of supervised research in which they set their own research question; design, execute and evaluate research strategies; and communicate the synthesised results of their activities to an audience. Second, the exercise is struct…

Postcolonial Practices for a Global Virtual Group
This paper offers a critical review of the role of the International Network for Learning and Teaching geography in higher education (INLT) in the production of geographical knowledge. Through an examination of the Network's membership and activities, it explores some of the ways in which INLT—as a global virtual group—may be inadvertently perpetuating geographies of oppression through, for example, assumption of Anglo-American modes of education…

The ability to communicate is acknowledged by employers to be a valuable attribute of a university graduate. That ability is also vital in fulfilling geography discipline objectives of mutual understanding and emancipation. Writing groups have been used in geography departments in Australia and the USA as a means of improving student skills in written communication as well as to stimulate positive attitudes to writing, intellectual growth and rhe…
Place, Power, and Medical Liability Insurance in the United States
Following the Western world's economic 'crisis' of the early 1970s and the related medical liability insurance calamity in the United States, new spatial and organizational arrangements emerged in the US medical malpractice insurance market. Reorganization gave a major London-based reinsurer-Lloyd's-a great deal of potential influence over the politically powerful US medical profession. At the same time as the prospects of control over medicine a…

Neoliberalism and Criticisms of Earthquake Insurance Arrangements in New Zealand
Global collapse of the Fordist-Keynesian regime of accumulation and an attendant philosophical shift in New Zealand politics to neoliberalism have prompted criticisms of, and changes to, the Earthquake and War Damage Commission. Earthquake insurance arrangements made 50 years ago in an era of collectivist, welfarist political action are now set in an environment in which emphasis is given to competitive relations and individualism. Six specific c…
