Visualising the foreign and the domestic in diaspora diplomacy: Images and the online politics of recognition in #givingtoindia
Diaspora diplomacy blurs the traditional conceptual dichotomies that map domestic and foreign policymaking efforts. Addressing how such distinctions are varyingly produced requires greater engagement with the way that diplomatic practice modulates the associations between belonging, nation and territory. This paper applies a semiotic analysis to a case study of the images circulated through the social media campaigns of the India Development Foun…
The political geographies of diaspora strategies: Rethinking the 'sending state
Diaspora strategies have been at the forefront of new studies of the political geographies of state-led transnationalism, contributing important insights into the widespread socio-economic impacts of initiatives used to engage émigrés in extra-territorial nation-building. The conceptualization of the 'sending state' as a central territorialized bureaucratic form has however contributed to binary framings of diasporic space by failing to capture t…

Articulating an Indian diaspora in South Africa: The Consulate General of India, diaspora associations and practices of collaboration
Engagements between sending states and their diasporas have come under increasing critical scrutiny. Whilst political geographers have driven critical analysis of national level policies, debates have largely overlooked the broader range of actors, transactions and practices involved in implementing national policies in a geohistorically diverse array of diasporic contexts and settings. Over the last decade, the Indian government has invested sig…
Rethinking Centers and Margins in Geography: Bodies, Life Course, and the Performance of Transnational Space
In this article we propose a rethinking of the concepts of center and margin in geography. We review extant literatures from structuralist political geography and science studies and explore alternative theoretical approaches to develop the concept of axes of centrality. Using theories of performativity to understand centers and margins as produced across an array of axes allows for an expansion of the concept. Contemporary experiences of transna…
Negotiating the responsibilities of collaborative undergraduate fieldcourses
Undergraduate fieldcourses to destinations in the global South have received much critical scholarly and pedagogic attention. This article reflects on a third‐year Geography fieldcourse to K enya, which aimed to collaborate with local partners in providing an immersive and co‐constitutive learning environment that transcended the politics of knowledge production defining the global South as a distanciated object of study. We shape our reflections…
Decolonising the diaspora: Neo‐colonial performances of Indian history in East Africa
Governments are increasingly engaging with their diasporas as a means of managing their national economies. Nevertheless, analyses of government diaspora strategies have not adequately accounted for the complexities of diasporic affiliations and identities, especially those not easily brought into the purview of economic governance. Drawing on performative understandings of how national polities are realised, this paper argues that incorporating …

Repaying the gift of life: Self-Help, Organ Transfer and the Debt of Care
A total of 2,552 organs from deceased donors were transplanted in the UK in 2009, yet more than 1,000 people die each year waiting for an organ transplant. The metaphor of the ‘gift of life’ remains the rubric under which increasing the availability of organs for transplant is commonly organised. Like all gifts, the ‘gift of life’ must be reciprocated. Reviewing the advice given by, and for, transplant recipients in self-help and autobiographical…
