Life Course Approach
Quantitative and qualitative human geographers employ the concept of the life course to study chronological age along with nondeterministic conceptualizations of age. The approach has been especially used to understand the lives of children, young people, and older people. Greater attention has been paid to examining women's lives than men's, though life course approaches have also been used to understand “coupledom” (primarily of heterosexual co…
Geography Education
Diversity within geographic education has two main facets. The first concerns aspects of who studies and teaches in the discipline; how they represent society, particularly in terms of its “racial,” ethnic, gender, class, and other attributes; and initiatives to promote diversity in the profession. The second deals with ways in which curricula and pedagogical approaches are alert to these distinctions and to fostering social justice. The conclusi…
A continuing agenda for gender
In examining the development of the International Geographical Union’s (IGU) Commission on Gender and Geography over the last three decades, we first highlight the advances made to establish visibility for gender studies within the IGU and create structures for more inclusive feminist geographies across national, disciplinary and other borders. Given that many of the early and most widely-known advances were largely within Anglophone contexts, we…
Gender and Feminist Studies in Geography
Full Circles
Growing Girls/Closing Circles
Social power is reAected in and exercised through the production and control of space. These sociospatial relations are gendered and vary ac ross the life course, riddled by differences associated with dass, ethnicity, race and nationality. From &s;dad&s;s chair&s; to occupied national territories, the spatial forms of control are charged with and interpenetrated by political-economic power, cultural meaning and personal significance. These conju…

Changing doctoral education
Canons, classics, and inclusion in the histories of geography
In responding to reflections by Keighren et al. (2012) on the place of ‘classics’ within geographical literature and on the possibilities of identifying canonical works, I focus on the criteria for selection and how such works might be identified. As an example, I analyze the history of inclusion in the ‘Classics revisited’ series in the journal Progress in Human Geography, and pose questions to prompt reflection on the role of language of public…
Rethinking Postgraduate Geography Education in the USA
Postgraduate geography education in the USA is growing and changing. In recent years, the number of postgraduate programs has increased at both the doctoral and master's levels. Interest in improving and reforming doctoral education has increased dramatically both inside and outside geography, and geography has been involved in these reforms. Master's programs in the USA face somewhat different concerns. One difference is that, in some respects, …
Rethinking Postgraduate Education in Geography
This symposium brings together multi-national assessments of the current state of and challenges facing postgraduate education in geography. Contributors from Europe, Australia, South Africa and the USA identify ways in which restructuring of educational systems and wider political contexts affect programmes within the field. While highlighting the implications of initiatives such as restructuring of degrees in European universities, merging of G…
Professional Development in Teaching and Learning for Early Career Academic Geographers
This paper provides a review of the practices and tensions informing approaches to professional development for early career academic geographers who are teaching in higher education. We offer examples from Britain, Canada, Nigeria and the USA. The tensions include: institutional and departmental cultures; models that offer generic and discipline-specific approaches; the credibility of alternative settings for professional development in teaching…
Time, place, and the lifeworlds of feminist geographers
The 1970s, the decade in which Susan Hanson took up an academic appointment in American geography, was a period of marked growth in women's representation and political activism in the discipline and of the emergence of feminist research and teaching. Susan's career illustrates the changes in consciousness, resiliency in the face of setbacks, and creativity of the times. Inspired by the women's movement, and exemplifying collegiality, women geogr…
Discourses on ‘Diversity’
This qualitative and contextual study explores how 'diversity' is interpreted by graduate students and faculty in ten departments of geography in the United States. It applies a model that considers historical, structural, psychological and behavioral dimensions. Themes addressed include issues related to gender, international origin, race/ethnicity, age, family status, disciplinary subfields and institutional location; silences persist around se…

Strength in Diversity
Postgraduate education in geography, especially at the Master's level, is undergoing significant changes in the developed world. There is an expansion of vocationally oriented degree programmes, increasing recruitment of international students, integration of workplace skills, and the engagement of non-traditional postgraduate students as departments respond to policies for a more ‘inclusive’ higher education. This paper sets the context by outli…
Foreign-born Scholars in US Universities
This symposium focuses on foreign-born geographers pursuing careers in US colleges and universities. Though foreign-born scholars make up a significant portion of the US geography professoriate, little is known about their experiences, the cultural problems and legal issues they confront in the US, and policy and institutional changes that might be implemented to support them. These papers address some of these challenges—particularly in American…
The Evaluation of Teaching in Higher Education
GIS Pedagogy, Web-based Learning and Student Achievement
The authors evaluate impacts of web-based learning (WBL) for a geographic information system (GIS) course in which self-paced interactive learning modules replaced lectures to prepare students for GIS laboratory activities. They compare student laboratory, mid-term, final exam and overall scores before and after introduction of WBL, analyzing for gender differences in performance. Laboratory scores improved significantly for both males and female…

Teaching Geography for Social Transformation
This paper considers how higher education geography is a discipline that can make a significant contribution to addressing inequality and engaging with the agenda for social change. It adopts the view that the teaching of geography can promote social transformation through the development of knowledge, skills and values in students that encourage social justice and equity. The paper explores how teaching about social transformation is closely int…
Changing Expectations and Institutions
In 1973 Wilbur Zelinsky lamented and documented the low representation of women in American academic geography. His attention reflected the climate of the times—the challenges of the women's movement, affirmative action, and feminist activism in the professions. Drawing on archives and personal narratives, this article addresses the paradoxes and politics of women's place in American academic geography in the 1970s. As increasing numbers develope…

Women, Gender, and the Histories of American Geography
Histories of American geography have tended to concentrate on geographic thought and on the men who have been seen as major figures in research. In contrast, I examine the careers of women geographers and of professional practices in American geography in the 20th century. My approach reflects thinking in feminist studies and the social studies of science, which acknowledge the existence of multiple histories and the importance of paying attentio…
Looking Out, Looking In
The Journal of Geography in Higher Education has a vision of being inclusive. This paper examines what the journal, throughout its history, has published on teaching and learning in relation to people and places referred to in contemporary scholarship as the 'Other'. It addresses themes of gender, race/ethnicity, sexuality, and the 'Third World', noting especially the surprising paucity of material on the latter. In particular, the article explor…

The representation of women in academic Geography
This Symposium integrates quantitative and qualitative information to assess the representation of women in academic geography in The Netherlands, Catalonia, Hungary and Singapore. It offers comparative commentary on the situation in the United States and additionally a focus on the experiences of a group of women geographers of colour in Canada, the US and the UK. Through this cross‐national approach, the significance of context in shaping the r…
Women's Worlds at the American Geographical Society
For much of the twentieth century, women in the United States found it difficult to obtain university positions in geography. Opportunities existed in other types of institutions, however, including the American Geographical Society (ags). This article addresses ways in which the Society's mission intersected with its historical context from 1895 to 1970 to create niches for women in editorial and library work. It explores the women's origins, th…
The Women Were Always Welcome at Clark
In absolute and relative terms, since its founding in 1921, the Graduate School of Geography at Clark University has played a major role in educating women geographers. This article examines the period from the 1920s to the early 1970s, when Clark was most distinctive in its representation of women in comparison to other institutions. I examine patterns of enrollment, how the women came to choose Clark, their experiences of the institution and of…

Internationalising Geography in Higher Education
Key issues relating to the internationalisation of geography in higher education are explored. Drawing on past experience, critical questions are posed regarding the goals, ownership, management and operation of a proposed international network for teaching and learning in geography in higher education. It is argued that those developing the network must learn from the lessons of the past, both to avoid repeating avoidable mistakes and to ensure …

Preparation for teaching in a research degree
Doctoral degrees serve as qualifications for careers in higher education, yet they prepare students for only one aspect of those careers ‐‐ research. Under the auspices of the Association of American Geographers’ Project, ‘Teaching and Learning in Graduate Geography’, the University of Illinois incorporated teaching preparation into doctoral study. The programme provides for gaining knowledge about teaching and learning, for developing an educati…

Modernization and Rural Population Movements
In geographic studies of modernization, attention has tended to focus on the processes of urbanization and the characteristics of urban areas rather than on rural areas. The latter have been included in macro-scale studies such as those of Gould and Soja in Africa investigating the spatial diffusion of modernization. In their studies of change in the Pacific, Brookfield (1973) and his associates also worked in rural communities, concentrating on …

On Not Excluding Half of the Human in Human Geography
Much research in human geography has been, often inadvertently, sexist. We first propose some reasons for this and then review the feminist contributions in other disciplines. The bulk of the paper examines some examples of sexist bias in the content, methods, and purposes of geographic research, suggests the nature of the damage that such bias inflicts on geographic knowledge, and identifies ways in which nonsexist geography might emerge.

Asian Professionals as Immigrants
Since the 1960s Australia's immigration policies have been changed to permit entry of significant numbers of previously restricted Asians. High proportions of these immigrants are professional people and their families, especially doctors, engineers and scientists. Models developed to explain the settlement and assimilation of earlier generations of immigrants, especially those of lower incomes and rural backgrounds, do not appear useful for stud…
