Why Does Geography Matter? The Politics of the Geography Curriculum
We often are told that ‘Geography matters’. This paper - which comes from the British school of Geography Education, argues for a political theory of the curriculum ‘political theory of the curriculum’ and explores how this might be understood in three national traditions – the UK, New Zealand, and the United States. These cases indicate that the representation of national space in geography teaching is always open to contestation, and that geogr…
Geography teaching in the present conjuncture (or, what type of school geography for what type of society?)
This article spotlights the Geographical Association’s publication Geography for all our futures (GA, 2024). The article examines the assumptions about a changing economy that underpin the document and the vision of geography it offers. The article suggests that a wider framework that draws upon different forms of geographical knowledge can offer a more critically engaged and relevant school geography in the present conjuncture

Race, racism and the geography curriculum
How geography teachers can respond to racism has become an important theme in geography in recent years. This short article provides important context and background

An Emotional Ecology of Pigeons in Early Modern England and America
This article explores the feelings English people had about, and with, pigeons in early modern England and America. In so doing, the paper uses the concept of an emotional ecology, an understanding of emotion that is situated in a web of relations with other creatures and things. To do this, the paper outlines the context of everyday interactions with pigeons in England and uses these contexts to explore how rural tenants felt about the pigeons i…
Environment, Emotion and Early Modernity
How do humans feel about, and with, the physical environments they inhabit?How do emotions shape interactions between humans and their material worlds, and how do those material worlds shape emotions in turn?These questions have exercised political theorists, literary scholars, philosophers, and environmental activists in recent years, who have sought to understand both how people conceive of themselves as related to their environments, and how e…
T1DMicro
Development of complications in type 1 diabetes patients can be reduced by modifying risk factors. We used a cross-sectional cohort of 1646 patients diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D) to develop a clinical risk score for diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), autonomic neuropathy (AN), retinopathy (DR), and nephropathy (DN). Of these patients, 199 (12.1%) had DPN, 63 (3.8%) had AN, 244 (14.9%) had DR, and 88 (5.4%) had DN. We selected five varia…

Les dessèchements modernes
Cet article développe une histoire comparative des projets de drainage initiés par les États français et britannique entre les xviie et xviiie siècles. Il analyse aussi bien les représentations des zones humides, les moyens légaux mis en œuvre, que les mouvements sociaux au sein de ces espaces. Il montre que, jusqu’à la fin du xviie siècle, les projets de drainage mobilisent un ensemble de pratiques coloniales mues par une idéologie mercantiliste…
The Ponds Dilemma
Is it better to be a big fish in a small pond or a small fish in a big pond? To find out, we study self-selection into contests. Our simple model predicts that: 1) entry into the big pond–in terms of show-up fees, number or value of prizes–is non-monotonic in ability; 2) entry into the more meritocratic pond is likewise non-monotonic, exhibiting two interior extrema and disproportionately attracting very low ability types; and 3) changes in rewar…
Popularity and Monarchy
Building on recent reconsiderations of James I's Church policies, this article ties James's performance at the Hampton Court conference to his Scottish experiences, his texts on kingship and what he perceived in the Church of England upon arrival in his new realm. The linking thread is not theology but rather his fervent anti-popularity, bred in his reaction to the Scottish Reformation, rejection of Buchanan's limited monarchy theories and strugg…

Learning from cities
This article examines the urban and pedagogical imaginations that underpin the Editors’ call for papers in this special issue of EER. It raises two concerns. The first is that the view of the ‘urban’ that underpins work in this field, whilst offering some new insights, tends to overlook the powerful forces and structures that produce urban space. The second is that in suggesting a pedagogy that is framed in terms of the ‘planetary scale’ and vita…
The Micro-Politics of Water Management in Early Modern England
Early modern water management was as much a social and political endeavour as an environmental one. This paper explores this assertion by analysing the different forms of knowledge used by English Commissions of Sewers in the governance of flood defence and drainage in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Using examples drawn primarily from Gloucestershire and Lincolnshire, in south-west and eastern England respectively, this paper traces the…
Henry Jacob, James I, and Religious Reform, 1603-1609
At the beginning of James I's reign, a petition campaign, the Hampton Court conference, numerous tracts, and considerable effort in Parliament all failed to overcome the king's adamant defense of the forms and practices of his episcopal church. In a milieu of deprivations and perception of declension, Henry Jacob, one of the organizers of the petitioning, denounced the illegitimacy and dangers of prelatical church government in several tracts bet…
Counterfeit Egyptians’
English law first began to mark out ‘Egyptians’ as a separate, criminalised group in the sixteenth century. This article examines how statute law constructed and implemented an Egyptian identity, and the effect this had on those prosecuted. A close reading of the four Tudor Egyptian statutes is provided, and relevant material from sixteenth- and seventeenth-century legal and judicial sources is compared to assess the implementation of the statute…
The representation and experience of English urban fire disasters, c .1580-1640
Fire disasters were a perennial threat to urban life in early modern England, but are yet to receive sustained attention from historians. By analysing popular literature, charitable collections and relief distribution this article reveals how urban fires were interpreted and what effect they had on individuals and specific communities in England between 1580 and 1640. Some aspects of the experience of fire disasters in early modern England are il…
An Environmental History of the Early Modern Period
Until recently, early modern environmental history has been a relatively small subdiscipline which has been well served by a few big books. Pioneering studies such as Clarence Glacken’s Traces on the Rhodian Shore (1967), Keith Thomas’s Man and the Natural World (1983; rev. ante , xcix [1984], 571–4) and, most recently, John Richards’s Unending Frontier (2003; rev. ante , cxix [2004], 796–7) have come to serve as weighty introductions to a subjec…

Clerical Conformity and the Elizabethan Settlement Revisited
This article re-examines the nature and extent of conformity to the Religious Settlement amongst the parish clergy in the first decades of Elizabeth I's reign. The estimate of Henry Gee, made over a century ago, that only around 300 clergymen were deprived for non-conformity to the Settlement has been remarkably influential and durable, and it continues to shape broader assessments of the ways in which religio-political change was implemented and…
Michael Young and the Politics of the School Curriculum
Michael Young’s work is central to debates about knowledge and the school curriculum. In recent years he has renounced his early argument that school subjects represent the ‘knowledge of the powerful’, arguing instead that access and equality for all students are dependent on ensuring that all get access to ‘powerful knowledge’. This paper provides an interpretation of Young’s work

Overcoming Ideological Bias in Elections
We study a model in which voters choose between two candidates on the basis of both ideology and competence. While the ideology of the candidates is commonly known, voters are imperfectly informed about competence. Voter preferences, however, are such that ideology alone determines voting. When voting is compulsory, the candidate of the majority ideology prevails, and this may not be optimal from a social perspective. However, when voting is volu…
Puritanism and Science
Compared to the rather large corpus of modern writing on puritan political and socio-economic opinions, very little has reached print concerning early-seventeenth-century puritan views on the intellect and the proper uses of reason. Much of what does exist is concerned primarily with the question of a connexion between puritanism and the ‘rise of science’ or the development of a learned mentality more interested in discovery than in repetition. D…

Teaching against the grain
A team‐taught interdisciplinary undergraduate unit in Sustainable Development has been developed and run over the past two years at the University of Bristol. This has been a unique initiative for this university to take. As in most other research‐intensive higher education institutions, teaching generally follows rather traditional disciplinary conventions, operating within departmental bounds. The initiative was unusual – and indeed ambitious –…

Mixed Motives and the Optimal Size of Voting Bodies
We study a Condorcet jury model where voters are driven by instrumental and expressive motives. We show that arbitrarily small amounts of expressive motives significantly affect equilibrium behavior and the optimal size of voting bodies. Enlarging voting bodies always reduces accuracy over some region. Unless conflict between expressive and instrumental preferences is very low, information does not aggregate in the limit, and large voting bodies …
Is Honesty the Best Policy? Curtailing Insurance Fraud through Optimal Incentive Contracts
An incentive contracting approach is used to characterize optimal contracts when insured individuals possess private information about their losses and are able to misrepresent permanently their loss magnitudes by engaging in the falsification of claims. We demonstrate that efficient agreements necessarily induce some falsification but that the extent of such claims inflation is mitigated partially by an indemnification schedule that overcompensa…
Dimensions of the shadow
This study was designed to assess reaction to the nuclear threat on the part of students in six countries using a common instrument, the Nuclear Threat Index (NTI). The NTI is designed to report on three aspects of reactions: cognitive, affective, and behavioral. The study showed that children in each of the six nations reported accurate, realistic knowledge about the effects of nuclear war and that many children reported experiencing negative em…

How Much Is a Dollar Worth? Tipping versus Equilibrium Coexistence on Competing Online Auction Sites
Theory models of platform competition predict that prices and buyer-seller ratios should be approximately equal on coexisting auction sites. Using field experiments on eBay and Yahoo Auctions, we find evidence that is inconsistent with equilibrium hypotheses and suggest that the market is tipping. Prices on eBay are consistently 20-70 percent higher than those on Yahoo, and eBay attracts two additional buyers per seller. On Yahoo, prices and bidd…

The production of urban educational space
It is widely recognised that large urban centres exhibit significant and enduring patterns of educational inequality. This paper explores the social production of urban educational space. In particular, it argues that since these patterns are geographical, it will be useful to revisit the emergence of an ‘urban crisis’ in education and attempts, by geographers, in the 1970s and 1980s, to explain spatial differences in educational attainment. For …
