Planetary Futures
Based upon the opening keynote address at the German Congress of Geography held in Frankfurt am Main in 2023, this article traces the current debate on the planetary in the humanities, social sciences and Earth System Science in three parts. Instead of taking the concept of the planetary for granted, we explore the question of how it is reflected in our respective fields of research (cultural geography, social geography, and economic geography) a…
Mobile Applications to Secure Tenure in Rural Tanzania
In light of climate change, projected population growth, increasing conflicts over land and the question of food security, the Tanzanian government takes the respective visions of environmental futures as a cause and justification for particular measures in the here and now. One such modality through which agricultural futures in the Kilombero Valley are currently made present and decided upon is the use of the Mobile Application to Secure Tenure…

Are fluoride levels in drinking water associated with hypothyroidism prevalence in England? Comments on the authors' response to earlier criticism
Academic debate is healthy and helps us to clarify the evidence base for the interested reader. However, it is unusual for a peer-reviewed paper in a reputable journal to receive quite as much criticism as that which greeted publication of the paper by Peckham et al on fluoride and hypothyroidism.1 Two highly critical commentaries were published at the time.2 ,3 A subsequent review article4 in the Journal of Evidence-based Dental Practice conclud…
Re‐enlivening the Indian Ocean through contemporary trade
While much has been written about the history of mobility and trade in the Indian Ocean, recent trading connections between Eastern Africa and Asia have so far only gained very little attention. However, in Zanzibar alone, hundreds of traders regularly embark on journeys reviving old routes and further develop them, in order to take advantage of the way the global economy works today. By providing an ethnographic account of such a journey underta…
Water fluoridation and hypothyroidism
Dental caries remains a significant public health problem in many countries and an important cause of health inequalities. In England, almost a third of 5-year-old children and over two-fifths of 15-year-old teenagers are affected, and substantially higher rates of disease are seen among deprived communities.1 Dental disease can cause impaired nutrition and growth,2 ,3 and is one of the most common causes of child hospital admission. Long-term im…
Von Pappkameraden, diffusen Bedenken und einer alten Debatte
German geography currently appears to be dominated by a continuing critique of essentialist concepts of regions and an equalisation of Areas Studies with a rather naive study of world regions. This is astonishing since the idea that regions do not simply exist by themselves has long been widely acknowledged. However, this does not imply that regions do not matter anymore. Any research topic is embedded in a certain regional context the knowledge …
“We Are Part of Zanzibar” – Translocal Practices and Imaginative Geographies in Contemporary Oman-Zanzibar Relations
OP70 Place of Cancer Deaths in England, 2001-2010
Background Place of death is an important quality indicator for end of life care. Understanding where patients with cancer die and what factors are associated with place of death is important for improving end of life care and has significant health care cost implications. There is, however, limited up-to-date evidence to guide practice. Methods This is a whole population-based observational study. All deaths with cancer as the underlying cause o…
Living Translocality
Mobility not only challenges the everyday lives of millions of people, it also challenges scientific understandings of society, culture and space. Based on long-term mobile ethnographic research connecting Zanzibar, the Tanzanian mainland, Mombasa, Dubai and London, this volume takes up this challenge by exploring the translocal space emerging around contemporary Swahili trade. Examining translocality as a lived experience, the book succeeds in r…
Mass media barriers to social marketing interventions
The role of the mass media in communicating health-related information to the wider population is the focus of this paper. Using the example of sun protection within the UK, we highlight some of the major challenges to raising awareness of steadily increasing melanoma rates and of effective sun protection strategies. The implications of potential barriers to official sun protection messages via conflicting messages in the media are discussed in t…
