The future of geography field course pedagogy in UK higher education
Field courses are widely regarded as integral to geography degree programmes, providing students with opportunities for experiential learning, often in unfamiliar international environments. Yet, this key area of pedagogy appears increasingly unsustainable and complex for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) within the context of the urgent need for decarbonisation, increasing financial costs, and the institutional challenges of comprehensively e…
Africa
African Economies
Africa's People
Africa is populated by a rich and culturally diverse population which is experiencing significant processes of demographic and social change. Research focusing on Africa’s people has, in the past discussed the colonization and exploitation of the continent and its people, and some attention has been focused on the African diaspora, particularly in North America, but also on the eastern shores of Latin America, where slaves were taken to plantatio…
Rural Africa
This chapter begins by addressing the issue of land tenure arrangements, which plays a fundamental role in determining the nature of rural livelihoods, such as agriculture, pastoralism, fishing and forestry. It reviews the key characteristics and challenges inherent in a range of common livelihood strategies, but it is important to emphasize the spatial and temporal dynamism of rural life. However, the chapter sector tends to make up agriculture’…

Conclusion
Having presented an extensive overview of the broad themes which characterize Africa’s development and its place in the world, in the chapter attempts to synthesize what they have learned and consider some possible future trends and scenarios. There has been much debate about why similar countries with broadly comparable resource and environmental endowments have achieved very different development outcomes. While Africa has experienced some of t…
Urban Africa
Introduction
In the early 21st century, Africa is widely perceived as being the world’s poorest continent, with a seemingly endless agenda of development priorities. Africa’s rapid population growth rates, the world’s highest and averaging 2.45 per cent annually, will lead to an estimated total population of 1,688 billion in 2030, a fifth of the world’s population, and larger than either China or India. In terms of the quality of life in Africa as reflected i…

Facing post-crisis livelihood challenges? Insights from young farmers in Kenema city, Eastern Province, Sierra Leone
Bringing about the data revolution in development
The post‐2015 agenda calls for a ‘data revolution in development’ and recognises that statistical capacity amongst the workforce is a prerequisite for achieving it. Universities have a critical role to play in building this capacity. This paper reports insights from in‐depth interviews with development professionals in Malta, Spain, Turkey and the United Kingdom about current and future data skills needs. It presents recommendations on data skill…
Understanding rural–urban transitions in the Global South through peri-urban turbulence
Nature provides valuable sanitation services
Much previous research shows that safe disposal of human waste has a positive impact on human wellbeing, while preventing the degradation of ecosystems. However, to date, the role that ecosystems themselves play in treating human waste has been largely neglected. We conceptualize the role nature plays in treating human waste—acting as a pipeline and/or treatment plant. We estimate that nature is treating ~41.7 million tons of human waste per year…
Pacing emotional labour of qualitative research in an intractable conflict environment
Qualitative field research in any type of terrain calls for a practice‐oriented reflection on the researcher's emotional labour management in relation to the context of the field before, during, and beyond data collection. Intractable conflict environments (ICE) are characterised by long‐running social crises still unresolved. This particularity makes such contexts risk‐prone in terms of unpredictable dangers and unexpected outcomes, hence, the r…
Residualisation in supported housing
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine how residualisation is experienced across a supported housing provider in an English county. The analysis is in three parts: firstly, it focuses on organisational provision, including impacts of change on decisions on market entry and exit; secondly, it reviews evidence on service provision and the adaptations services are making to reflect the changing pressures of the sector; finally, it considers…

Coping with the impacts of weather changes in rural Sierra Leone
Global changes in climate today present hostile weather conditions which pose considerable threats to the rich and poor alike. The capacity for developing countries to cope with these impacts is weak and a development concern. The post-conflict West African nation of Sierra Leone is no exception. In fact, rural areas are exposed to high degrees of vulnerability, livelihood insecurity and hostile environments. This paper explores the experiences o…
E-learning for Geography's Teaching and Learning Spaces
The authors embed their advocacy of educational technology in a consideration of contemporary pedagogy in geography. They provide examples of e-learning from a wide range of teaching and learning contexts. They promote the idea that considering best practice with reference to educational technology will increase the versatility of teaching geography in higher education. On the basis of reviewing the pedagogic options associated with e-learning us…
Rural-Urban Interaction in the Developing World
Sustaining the rural and urban populations of the developing world has been identified as a key global challenge for the twenty-first century. Rural-Urban Interaction in the Developing World is an introduction to the relationships between rural and urban places in the developing world and shows that not all their aspects are as obvious as migration from country to city. There is now a growing realization that rural-urban relations are far more co…
Group Project Work and Student-centred Active Learning
This article compares two experiences of group-based student projects in a Geographical Information Systems (GIS) degree and in Geography degree modules. The two authors adopted group projects from similar motivations, and used available materials to guide them through this process. Subsequently, they have come to reflect on the experience and to examine the theoretical dimensions of such an approach in more detail. There seems to be a discrepanc…

Urban Fruit and Vegetable Supply in Dar es Salaam
This study examines the processes by which fruit and vegetables are distributed to and within an urban environment. It uses an integrated approach to examine in detail the various channels of supply, particularly the role of the legal wholesale market. It argues that adopting a traditional approach to the study of such a highly complex topic, may result in anomalous, or biased results. This paper is based on a wider study which examines the proce…

Sustainability and urban food supply in Africa
Agenda 21 has made a major contribution to a range of aspects of development initiatives, of which one chapter, Chapter Seven, focuses on sustainable human settlements. There are a growing number of publications on issues relating to food supply to urban areas in the less developed world. These publications have several focuses, particularly fruit and vegetables, urban agriculture and food marketing. The main aspects of the chapter of Agenda 21 r…
Oral English in Aboriginal Schools
It is difficult for a teacher who is non-Aboriginal to understand what the Aboriginal people expect from their school. One welldocumented fact is that eyery Aboriginal community so far approached in the Northern Territory has stated that the children of that community must be taught English
