Abstract: In this paper, we argue that standard built environmental accounts of obesity and physical inactivity offer little insight into the multiplicity of power relations that shape the localized mobility practices of rural places. In making this argument, we draw upon literature from with the “new mobilities paradigm” in qualitatively examining the multiple ruralities and […]

Abstract: On December 14 and 27, 1763, rioters in western Pennsylvania attacked and killed nearly two dozen Conestoga Indians living near Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Five weeks later, two hundred and fifty men, calling themselves the Paxton Boys, marched on Pennsylvania to kill Indians housed there for their protection. These events sparked outrage, as pro- and anti-Paxtonite […]

Abstract: Why talk of indigeneity rather than of Indigenous peoples? This report examines the critical purchase on questions of inequality, subjectivity and power offered by critical geographies of indigeneity. In comparison with accounts that treat indigeneity as relational with nature and the more-than-human, the report highlights literature that examines indigeneity as relational with deeply historical, […]

This paper delineates the contours of the geographical imaginaries of Italian and Ottoman imperial nationalisms and how participants and pundits of the conflict incorporated Libya into […]

Excerpt: It’s been nearly a quarter of a century since Richard White announced that, after the end of the War of 1812 in 1815, throughout the pays d’en haut, the “middle ground” of the upper Great Lakes and Mississippi basins, the Americans “arrived and dictated.” White’s book largely concerns itself with the century and a […]

Abstrat: This paper sheds new light on English in Latin America, more specifically in Paraguay, a still relatively underresearched region in the context of world Englishes. At the turn of the 20th century, almost 600 colonizers from Australia and the UK settled in Paraguay with the goal of setting up an independent English-speaking society. However, […]
