  • Navigating digital geographies: Black boxes, geospatial narratives, and the art of constructing location data

    Open Access•Thomas N Cooke, Dan Cohen et al.•ARTICLE•Environment and Planning F•2026

    Smartphone location data are often treated as objective and self-evident—but it is neither. This article opens the black box of how location is constructed on the phone and in the cloud, arguing that these processes are foundational to digital geography and central to how its infrastructures take shape. Drawing on an original experiment conducted in Kingston, Ontario and Baltimore, Maryland, we reverse-engineer and document the different methods …

  • Valuing a new “good”: Debates over the value of the social good in Canada's Social Finance Fund

    Open Access•Dan Cohen•ARTICLE•Canadian Geographies /…•2025•References: 24

    Despite promises of blending financial returns and social good to produce positive impact, what distinguishes “social” finance from the more traditional financial sector is ambiguous and often contested. Indeed, while financial returns are easily quantified and defined, the idea of a social return contains a plurality of understandings of how the social good is valued, who has power over its valuation, and its relative worth in comparison to fina…

  • Who benefits from state investment? Interrogating distribution under (urban) state venturism

    Open Access•Dan Cohen, Emily Rosenman•ARTICLE•Dialogues in Human Geography•2024•References: 7

    This commentary traces the longer history of what Su and Lim refer to as urban state venturism as a means of posing questions about the distribution of benefits and risks which result from this model of state investment. Drawing upon the history of the Hudson Bay Company's role in both securing profits and building the British settler colonial empire, we ask how these state projects shape political economic processes beyond regional economic comp…

  • Any Time, Any Place, Any Way, Any Pace: Markets, EdTech, and the spaces of schooling

    Open Access•Dan Cohen•ARTICLE•Environment and Planning A…•2024•Cited by: 4•References: 36

    For decades investors have sought to find ways of profiting off the billions of public dollars spent annually on systems of public schooling across the world. This interest has coincided with the growing marketization of systems of public schooling, especially in the United States, as well as the increased use of educational technologies (or EdTech). This study examines the implications of the growing use of profit-driven educational technologies…

  • Bringing life's work to market: Frontiers, framings, and frictions in marketised social reproduction

    Open Access•Emily Rosenman, Jessa Loomis et al.•ARTICLE•Environment and Planning A…•2024•Cited by: 3•References: 26

    The introduction to this theme issue discusses a series of papers examining the increasing marketisation of social reproduction and its effects on systems that sustain human and social life. This is done by examining the frontiers, framings, and frictions that arise when market systems are constructed to enable capital accumulation in the realm of social reproduction. Frontiers identify the expansion of market logic into new areas, framings explo…

  • Clozapine prescription rates in Southeast Europe: A cross-sectional study

    Open Access•Manuela Russo, Dragana Ignjatović Ristić et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Psychiatry•2023

    Our findings suggested that clozapine prescription rate in SEE outpatients is higher than in Western Europe. The average dose is significantly below the optimal therapeutic dosage recommended by clinical guidelines, and clozapine polytherapy is common. This might indicate that clozapine is prescribed mainly for its sedative effect rather than antipsychotic. We hope that this finding will be taken up by relevant stakeholders to address this non-ev…

  • Who controls the infrastructure of social reproduction? Finance, reproduction, and resistance in educational landscapes

    Open Access•Dan Cohen•ARTICLE•Dialogues in Human Geography•2023•Cited by: 2•References: 4

    This commentary explores the dynamics of financialization in relation to educational infrastructures of social reproduction, an area McFadden identifies as a ‘generative avenue’ for future research. This exploration is accomplished through a discussion of how financialization is currently reshaping schooling in the US context in two ways: (a) through troubling the longstanding reproduction/resistance dialectic in education; and (b) through reorie…

  • Walls of capital: Quantitative easing, spatial inequality, and the winners and losers of Canada’s pandemic-era housing market

    Open Access•Martine August, Dan Cohen et al.•ARTICLE•Cambridge Journal of Regions…•2022•Cited by: 4•References: 14

    This paper analyzes the Bank of Canada’s (BoC) pandemic-era quantitative easing (QE) programs and their distributive implications, focusing on the Canadian housing market. First, we analyse the priorities and effects of QE: increasing liquidity and encouraging lending and borrowing. Next, we identify the sectors of the economy most influenced by QE, highlighting that investment in real estate soared in comparison to other sectors. Finally, we pre…

  • Promises and Profit in "Debt-Free" Higher Education: The Geographies of Income Share Agreements in the United States

    Emily Rosenman, Dan Cohen et al.•ARTICLE•Annals of the American…•2022•Cited by: 4•References: 40

    As student debt in the United States rose to $1.7 trillion in 2021, the value and accessibility of higher education has been a subject of fierce public debate. In this context, income share agreements (ISAs) are framed as an alternative to conventional student loans. ISAs entail investors paying a student's tuition in exchange for a share of the student's future income. As the use of ISAs increases, especially within U.S. vocational schools, ther…

  • Reparative accumulation? Financial risk and investment across socio-environmental crises

    Open Access•Dan Cohen, Sara Nelson et al.•ARTICLE•Environment and Planning E Nature…•2022•Cited by: 20

    With the growing global recognition that environmental and social crises are pushing systems of social and ecological reproduction to their breaking points, governments, philanthropists, and the private sector are proposing a variety of strategies that aim to shift the social and environmental role of finance capital from an extractive process to a reparative one. A frequent refrain is that only finance capital promises the scale of investment ne…

  • Philanthropy to the rescue? Detroit’s schools and urban policymaking under austerity

    Open Access•Dan Cohen•ARTICLE•Environment and Planning C…•2021•Cited by: 2•References: 13

    As municipal governments in the US struggle under austerity, philanthropic elites have seemingly come to the rescue. Their money has not come without strings attached, however. By leveraging political contributions and donations to non-profits, philanthropists have moved beyond funding services and into the promotion of their preferred policies to cash-strapped municipalities. This has meant that the super-wealthy can now set the terrain of urban…

  • A marketplace of schools”: Race, power, and education reform in the Detroit region

    Over the past several decades market-based systems have increasingly been used to govern the delivery of urban services. Drawing on insights from the geography of markets, this paper investigates how market-based policies such as interdistrict choice and charter school programs have reshaped publicly funded schooling in the Detroit region. Through doing so it explores how market systems are made to align with the interests of actors who advance m…

  • Between perfection and damnation: The emerging geography of markets

    Open Access•Dan Cohen•ARTICLE•Progress in Human Geography•2017•Cited by: 13•References: 28

    Economic geographers have recently taken up the study of markets after a long period of inattention. This growing literature has highlighted the diverse spaces, scales, and fields where markets are present, as well as the ways in which markets vary in form. However, the study of markets in economic geography still exists in tension between neoclassical and Marxist conceptions of markets as predictable and approaches like the social studies of eco…

  • Catching the bus: A call for critical geographies of education

    Open Access•N Nguyen, Dan Cohen et al.•ARTICLE•Geography Compass•2017•Cited by: 23•References: 72

    Informed by recent struggles over schooling, this article proceeds from the premise that education is a deeply geographic and urgently political problem increasingly engaged by a wide range of scholars and activists. We argue that the current political moment demands increasing geographic attention to the confluence of social processes that shape schooling arrangements. We contend that this attention also must address how people involved in colle…

  • Market mobilities/immobilities: Mutation, path-dependency, and the spread of charter school policies in the United States

    Dan Cohen•ARTICLE•Critical Studies in Education•2016•Cited by: 8•References: 9

    Over the past 25 years charter school policies have spread through the United States at a rapid pace. However, despite this rapid growth these policies have spread unevenly across the country with important variations in how charter school systems function in each state. Drawing on case studies in Michigan and Oregon, this article argues that mobile education policies are best conceptualized as made up of both mobile and immobile elements that co…

As revealed through the B andung case, attention to the formation of these networks highlights the way that power operates within them, privileging certain ideas and structuring the ways in which information flows through their channels. This insight suggests that t…

We conceptualize the relationship between public and private finance as a dynamic interface characterized today by asymmetrical po…

  • Walls of capital: Quantitative easing, spatial inequality, and the winners and losers of Canada’s pandemic-era housing market

    Open Access•Martine August, Dan Cohen et al.•ARTICLE•Cambridge Journal of Regions…•2022•Cited by: 4•References: 14

    This paper analyzes the Bank of Canada’s (BoC) pandemic-era quantitative easing (QE) programs and their distributive implications, focusing on the Canadian housing market. First, we analyse the priorities and effects of QE: increasing liquidity and encouraging lending and borrowing. Next, we identify the sectors of the economy most influenced by QE, highlighting that investment in real estate soared in comparison to other sectors. Finally, we pre…

  • Promises and Profit in "Debt-Free" Higher Education: The Geographies of Income Share Agreements in the United States

    Emily Rosenman, Dan Cohen et al.•ARTICLE•Annals of the American…•2022•Cited by: 4•References: 40

    As student debt in the United States rose to $1.7 trillion in 2021, the value and accessibility of higher education has been a subject of fierce public debate. In this context, income share agreements (ISAs) are framed as an alternative to conventional student loans. ISAs entail investors paying a student's tuition in exchange for a share of the student's future income. As the use of ISAs increases, especially within U.S. vocational schools, ther…

  • Reparative accumulation? Financial risk and investment across socio-environmental crises

    Open Access•Dan Cohen, Sara Nelson et al.•ARTICLE•Environment and Planning E Nature…•2022•Cited by: 20

    With the growing global recognition that environmental and social crises are pushing systems of social and ecological reproduction to their breaking points, governments, philanthropists, and the private sector are proposing a variety of strategies that aim to shift the social and environmental role of finance capital from an extractive process to a reparative one. A frequent refrain is that only finance capital promises the scale of investment ne…

  • Clozapine prescription rates in Southeast Europe: A cross-sectional study

    Open Access•Manuela Russo, Dragana Ignjatović Ristić et al.•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Psychiatry•2023

    Our findings suggested that clozapine prescription rate in SEE outpatients is higher than in Western Europe. The average dose is significantly below the optimal therapeutic dosage recommended by clinical guidelines, and clozapine polytherapy is common. This might indicate that clozapine is prescribed mainly for its sedative effect rather than antipsychotic. We hope that this finding will be taken up by relevant stakeholders to address this non-ev…

  • Who controls the infrastructure of social reproduction? Finance, reproduction, and resistance in educational landscapes

    Open Access•Dan Cohen•ARTICLE•Dialogues in Human Geography•2023•Cited by: 2•References: 4

    This commentary explores the dynamics of financialization in relation to educational infrastructures of social reproduction, an area McFadden identifies as a ‘generative avenue’ for future research. This exploration is accomplished through a discussion of how financialization is currently reshaping schooling in the US context in two ways: (a) through troubling the longstanding reproduction/resistance dialectic in education; and (b) through reorie…

  • Who benefits from state investment? Interrogating distribution under (urban) state venturism

    Open Access•Dan Cohen, Emily Rosenman•ARTICLE•Dialogues in Human Geography•2024•References: 7

    This commentary traces the longer history of what Su and Lim refer to as urban state venturism as a means of posing questions about the distribution of benefits and risks which result from this model of state investment. Drawing upon the history of the Hudson Bay Company's role in both securing profits and building the British settler colonial empire, we ask how these state projects shape political economic processes beyond regional economic comp…

  • Any Time, Any Place, Any Way, Any Pace: Markets, EdTech, and the spaces of schooling

    Open Access•Dan Cohen•ARTICLE•Environment and Planning A…•2024•Cited by: 4•References: 36

    For decades investors have sought to find ways of profiting off the billions of public dollars spent annually on systems of public schooling across the world. This interest has coincided with the growing marketization of systems of public schooling, especially in the United States, as well as the increased use of educational technologies (or EdTech). This study examines the implications of the growing use of profit-driven educational technologies…

  • Bringing life's work to market: Frontiers, framings, and frictions in marketised social reproduction

    Open Access•Emily Rosenman, Jessa Loomis et al.•ARTICLE•Environment and Planning A…•2024•Cited by: 3•References: 26

    The introduction to this theme issue discusses a series of papers examining the increasing marketisation of social reproduction and its effects on systems that sustain human and social life. This is done by examining the frontiers, framings, and frictions that arise when market systems are constructed to enable capital accumulation in the realm of social reproduction. Frontiers identify the expansion of market logic into new areas, framings explo…
