Not-so-subtle subtleties: Undocumented migrant (in)visibility, (im)mobility and Dutch public spaces as sites of embodied racialization
We explore the nuances of living while undocumented in the Netherlands, focusing on the processes of (in)visibility and (im)mobility in the public sphere. We conceptualize (in)visibility as dialectical and multilayered, with relational, political, strategic and processual dimensions. (Im)mobility isconceptualized as a resource and is interlinked with (in)visibility. Both concepts are understood to be defined by social relations, which necessitate…
Paradoxes of Inclusion: Adverse Effects of Inclusive Interventions in Northern Ethiopia
The involvement of smallholders in various inclusive business models (IBMs) is being widely promoted in Ethiopia. The inclusion, exclusion and distribution effects of IBMs must be better understood, however, in order to make them more impactful. This study, which was carried out in three districts in northern Ethiopia, employed a mixed methods approach. Our results show that inclusion and exclusion are both complex and multidimensional. A focus o…
Geographies of education: Cross-border schooling between Shenzhen and Hong Kong
In the context of increasing disciplinary interest in ‘geographies of education’, this article looks at the particular phenomenon of cross-border schooling (CBS), wherein children are involved in daily boundary crossing for education and engage in a (usually) arduous commute. Here, we draw upon a recent research project involving CBS at the Shenzhen–Hong Kong border. We consider three aspects of this border crossing that were significant in the p…
The commodification of social relationships in agriculture: Evidence from northern Ethiopia
The Exclusive Nature of Inclusive Productive Employment in the Rural Areas of Northern Ethiopia
Inclusiveness, with its emphasis on productive employment, has become central in development policy. From this perspective, unwaged-work is condemned for not being sufficiently productive; that is, for failing to lift incomes above a poverty threshold. However, insights from the sociology of work reveal a range of unwaged activities that are potentially highly productive in their contribution to self-reliance. The article explores whether these a…
Rethinking Migration in the 2030 Agenda: Towards a De-Territorialized Conceptualization of Development
While the 2030 Development Agenda was being prepared, Europe experienced a massive inflow of refugees. In response, many western European donors pointed to the need to bring about ‘development’ in the regions of origin, in an attempt to halt the inflow of people. As such, development is often conceptualized as a place-bound process that focuses on enabling people to achieve a better quality of life ‘at home’, implying that migration is an indicat…
Local Development in the Context of Global Migration and the Global Land Rush: The Need for a Conceptual Update
This paper argues that global linkages, flows and circulations merit a more central place in theorization about local development. In particular, we make connections across two dominant types of global flows that shape our world tremendously: international migration and large-scale land investments. The paper compares the two hypes and underlines the similarities in their genealogy, rhetoric and push for good governance as a solution. It then map…
These are not the best students’: Continuing education, transnationalisation and Hong Kong's young adult ‘educational non-elite’
This paper examines the under-explored relationship between young people’s transitions to \nhigher education (HE) and the opportunities afforded by transnational education (TNE) \nprogrammes, with a focus on understanding the contemporary situation in Hong Kong. A \nfascinating association has developed, over the past decade, between the expansion of TNE \nin the territory and the government’s commitment to providing ‘continuing education’. We \n…
Immobile Transnationalisms? Young People and Their in situ Experiences of ‘International’ Education in Hong Kong
In Hong Kong, the number of international degree programmes available locally to students has proliferated in recent years, and British universities are the largest provider of so-called ‘transnational education’ in the territory. This paper draws on the findings of a qualitative project examining British degree programmes offered in Hong Kong, and their implications for local young people. In particular, it explores the fact that the vast majori…
Young People and the Reproduction of Disadvantage through Transnational Higher Education in Hong Kong
This paper examines the role of transnational higher education in reproducing local patterns of disadvantage in Hong Kong. Specifically, it considers the expectations and experiences of local students undertaking British degree programmes, drawing on the findings of a recent qualitative research project. In this paper, we argue that through the introduction of so-called 'top-up' programmes, British universities are providing degree-level educatio…
Of corridors and chains: Translocal developmental impacts of academic mobility between China and Germany
This paper examines the impact of transnational geographical mobility among Chinese and German scholars using the concepts of 'development corridors' and 'development chains'. A temporal-spatial analysis of two case studies – (1) a multi-generation actor-based network of social scientists and (2) the vibrant connections between the Department of Geography at the Sun Yat-Sun University of Guangzhou and various German institutes – illustrates how s…
