Is Social Justice and the City still relevant? Some thoughts
This year (2023) marks the 50th anniversary of David Harvey’s Social Justice and the City. At the time of its publication, it was viewed by many as a text that revolutionized thinking in urban geography. Since then, it has been subjected to numerous reviews and critiques. Each time, its intellectual strength allowed it to maintain its place in the geography canon. This paper describes my encounters with Social Justice; how I read it in 1978 as an…
Reversing the gaze, insiders out, outsiders in
Western field-based university research places considerable value on objectivity and distancing researchers from the researched. This proves difficult in circumstances where research is long-term and its acceptable designs replicate colonial structures. Our work is rooted in the practice of consciousness raising. Our findings are twofold. First, participating in the practice of consciousness raising allowed us to see that we were “outsiders” in t…
Upon the Ruins of Liberty
Upon the Ruins of Liberty examines the important and interwoven issues of slavery, the early American presidency, U.S. history, public memory, and the politics around what constitutes democracy and how we implement it. The author provides an engaging account of the development of an important historic site freighted with contemporary racial politics and refracted through history, space, and public memory. Aden shows how the eight-year struggle to…
Picturing the city
Urban environments form the setting of everyday life for most Western young people. This article explores \nvisual representations of cities made by young people in a range of environments within four countries. The \nfindings inform a larger study on urban geographies within geography education. We analyse students’ \ndrawings of cities regarding physical characteristics, activities and issues. There are many commonalities \nbetween drawings fro…
The triumph of geography
Developing Geographers through Photography
This paper explores how photographs can be used to teach urban social geography to second- and third-year university students. In it the author describes her work acquainting students with the skill of ‘directed observation’. She argues that teaching geography through photography is not merely asking students to take pictures but rather, the process of looking with intention. Capturing what is seen on film encourages students to engage with geogr…
Social Justice and Women of Color in Geography
This paper is a collection of thoughts regarding women of color in geography. It advances a social justice argument for why women of color should be in geography. I suggest that the cultural turn in geography has not yielded what many hoped for and what is missing in the miasma of postmodernist debates is a consideration of right and wrong; more importantly who benefits and who loses? Justicia y Mujeres del Color en la Geografía: las reflexiones …

The Last Decade
Female farmers in the Rwandan farming system
Eurocentric Bias in the Study of African Urbanization
The Informal Economy--Studies in Advanced and Less Developed Countries
A New York roofer requests payment in cash. A Bogota car mechanic sets up shop on a quiet side street. Four Mexican immigrants assemble semiconductors in a San Diego home. A Leningrad doctor sells needed medicine to a desperate patient. All are part of a growing worldwide phenomenon that is widely known but little understood. The informal or underground economy is thriving today, not only in the Third World countries where it was first reported a…
