Departing from widespread neoliberal and postcolonial critiques of TNHE, which tend to emphasise liberal market forces and Anglo-American hegemony in the circulation of academic knowledge, our study examines how the Chinese state’s developmental targets, strategic policies, and political–ideological considerations have shaped the evolutionary trajectory, geographical distribution, and cross-border connections of China’s TNHE programs. We demonstrate that the place-based development of TNHE is mediated by governments’ interventionist policies and embedded in existing higher education regimes, especially in the context of East Asian developmental states. By maintaining a higher education system dominated by public universities and by being the ultimate examination and approval authority, the Chinese government both determines the status of TNHE in the national higher education system, constrains the typologies and sources of knowledge flows, and shapes the national landscape of TNHE development. The territorial geographies of TNHE thus reflect complicated interactions between the state and the market, the global and the local, and economic and political/cultural forces.</p>","PeriodicalId":47233,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Research","volume":"62 1","pages":"165-180"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44931288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study employed a volunteer HarassMap to analyse sexual harassment crimes (SHCs) across Egypt from a spatial perspective. The specific aims were to apply the Hierarchical Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (HDBSCAN) algorithm to locate clusters of reported SHCs, and to assess their spatial dependence on land use types. To accomplish this task, ring buffers of 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 metres were established around each crime scene to determine which land use was mostly associated with the incidence of these SHCs. Local bivariate relationships were used to explore the associations between SHC and each land-use category. Results from the HDBSCAN algorithm revealed four crime clusters within the study domain, mainly located in Greater Cairo, Alexandria, and Behaira. Notably, commercial establishments and transit stations showed a significantly positive correlation with SHC. The study shows how land uses shape SHC and showed that it is possible to identify environmental risk factors for harassment. These risk factors can help policymakers, urban planners, and community stakeholders prevent and reduce sexual harassment and gender inequality, and promote just and inclusive societies.</p>","PeriodicalId":47233,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Research","volume":"62 1","pages":"147-164"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42471410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, some occupations show similar spatial distribution patterns. In particular, we found that industrial economic drivers have influence more significant than other regional factors in determining the distribution of workplace and residence by occupation. The spatial coefficient of geographical adjacency varies with the attributes of each occupation and tends to be larger in professional jobs.

Organised by a team from Curtin and the University of Western Australia and led by Tod Jones and Kirsten Martinus, the conference theme was &lt;i&gt;coexistence, collaboration, and geography&lt;/i&gt;. For Jones and Martinez, “the theme recognises that the planet’s health and the human race’s survival are inextricably linked and that research outcomes are enriched by diverse partnerships and the contribution of individuals from many specialities” (see Miller, &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;). In 220 sessions over four days, over 235 attendees from 13 nations met in pre-conference workshops, plenaries, and study group and independent sessions to deliberate on that theme and other concerns central to our discipline and the professions it underpins. We were all privileged to be welcomed to Country by Kim Collard, an Elder and Balladong/Wilmen man of the Noongar Nation, who spoke to us about NAIDOC Week, the lands upon which we were meeting, and the special meeting of song lines on the Bentley campus. I note in passing and with gratitude that Wiley has selected three of our journal’s articles to feature in its own NAIDOC tribute (see here; Clements et al., &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;; Rawluk et al., &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;; Rogers et al., &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The team at &lt;i&gt;Geographical Research&lt;/i&gt;, supported by Wiley and the Institute’s Council again hosted two lectures in Perth. First, Professor Mark Gahegan gave the Wiley Lecture, and it was riveting. A computer scientist and geographer based at the University of Auckland, Mark’s research includes geovisualisation, spatial analysis, geocomputation, and remote sensing. On this occasion, he shared fascinating insights on ChatGPT and artificial intelligence (AI) and, crucially, invited geographers to apply our interdisciplinarity capacities to help ensure AI futures involve empowering outcomes. Second, Dr Emma Ligtermoet gave the Fay Gale Memorial Lecture, and it was just as compelling. A CSIRO post-doctoral fellow and human-environment geographer from the University of Western Australia and Australian National University, Emma investigates how people navigate social-ecological change in freshwater and coastal environments. In this instance, her focus was on collaborative work in Pilbara communities committed to deepening coexistence work between Country and people.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks to Connor Goddard (Curtin) and Linda Wilson (University of Western Australia), I was privileged to host a conversation about writing and publishing with a group of around 50 higher degree research candidates.

It is imperative that geographers engage in formidable but worthy tasks to distil diverse renderings of love into the regenerative interventions we urgently need. Those interventions require geographically minded interpretations of love to drive radical research, pedagogies, policies, and practices in ways that have direct and indirect effects across the life course and life worlds. Such labours are mediated by state and law, by intersectional relations, or by neuroscience, and involve asking how love underwrites critical infrastructures—of place (making), care and entanglements, colonialism, and human-nature relations in the Anthropocene and posthuman—that lead to the flourishing futures we seek. Rich geographical studies oriented to those tasks still face charges of flattening difference. This commentary picks up one aspect of this agenda: a blind spot in geographical research relating to the ethical imperative to love based on benevolence. Instead, I champion the revolutionary possibilities for geography to inform policies, pedagogies, and practices by using a love based on alterity aligned with social weight, reasserting accessible science as an effective driver of social and system transformative changes. Specifically, I argue for a regenerative socio-political analytic of love in a time of disaster, decolonisation, and diffraction.</p>","PeriodicalId":47233,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Research","volume":"61 3","pages":"305-311"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1745-5871.12614","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48518790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whereas working people are automatically enrolled at their workplaces, the head offices of many industry funds are in Melbourne rather than Sydney. Melbourne’s dominance of the superannuation industry is explained, in part, by happenstance—the location of major unions and employer groups and their initiatives in response to the enabling legislation. Other factors identified include opportunism, cooperation, and the advantages of growth. Government-prompted mergers and acquisitions have also reinforced the dominance of Melbourne, notwithstanding attempts by Sydney-based superannuation funds to out-compete their Melbourne rivals. Whereas the geographical bifurcation of the Australian superannuation industry has been mediated by the formation of a Queensland-based superfund “champion,” it is suggested that it faces numerous challenges.

By reference to the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area, Australia, this research examined how the international legislative framework influences conservation practices. We held semi-structured interviews with conservation and Indigenous local experts and compared park management practices in the Area against those used in an Indigenous Protected Area. Findings align with the literature and suggest that Indigenous and scientific knowledge systems can generate new insights for the Area and other sites. Yet, Indigenous knowledges are only marginally applied in practice. Some barriers to full participation of Indigenous people are specific to the colonial history of the area.
