Yet, these interventions have largely focused on the specific suburban formations of the Anglophone Global North, raising questions about their applicability to the analysis of queerness in the heterogeneous, transforming, and fragmented urban margins of continental Europe. In this article, I explore the theoretical and analytical innovations possible by thinking the “queer suburban” through the lens of the post-suburban which stresses relational modes of thinking, unsettles binary conceptualizations of center and periphery, and outlines new modes of suburban and regional governance. I apply this approach to three key sites of queer suburban intervention: suburban diversification, the governance of suburbanization, and suburbanisms as “ways of life”. First, I argue that adopting a post-suburban perspective allows us to more adeptly grasp the increasingly superdiverse European urban margins by foregrounding an analysis of queerness in relation to other dimensions of heterogeneity. Second, I argue that post-suburbanization processes reshuffle the modes and scales of the governance of queerness. This leads to new neoliberal governance logics such as multi-scalar “diversity politics” aimed at the inclusion of depoliticized queerness in the urban margins. Third, I argue that the post-suburban draws our attention to the possibilities of queer resistance, coalitional claims-making and intersectional organizing in urban peripheries. I conclude by outlining the need for a relational and comparative research agenda on the queer peripheries of Europe.","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"19 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gec3.70034","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144511203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recognition of ongoing rural poverty and the need to modernize the rural economy has given rise to a myriad of policies in the last quarter century supporting rural development, notably in two key initiatives: Creating the New Socialist Countryside (2005) and a Rural Revitalization Strategy (2017). The former focussed on creating improvements to the welfare system, health services and education in rural areas, and was subsequently accompanied by concerted efforts to eliminate rural poverty. Rural revitalization has emphasized the need for agricultural modernization and reducing the income gap between the countryside and the cities. Based on an assessment of the implementation and outcomes of the two initiatives, this paper explores the policies and key events in the process of rural improvement and revitalization in China. It summarizes the development stages of the relevant policies over time and examines the key facets of revitalization. It focuses on increased provision of services in rural areas as part of significant reductions in rural poverty, the reorganisation of agriculture via land consolidation, and the growth of new investment in rural-based industry.","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"19 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gec3.70039","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144482036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we systematically review the literature on the health, economic, social, and political dimensions of UA in South, East, and Southeast Asia. Our review reveals that key motivations and attitudes framing UA initiatives are distinct to this region, with food safety concerns being a stronger motivating force than ecological benefits or social justice. Heightened skepticism of dominant food systems in this region is contributing to new cultural agricultural geographies. An ideological shift is also occurring whereby agriculture is beginning to be perceived of as a more-than-rural activity. Nonetheless, we reveal that narrow and often negative perceptions of agriculture in Asia limits the types and extent to which UA occurs. Land access and tenure security are among the greatest barriers to participation in UA. Our review demonstrates that government support for UA has not always been effective, and we outline how capacity building and leveraging local knowledges have been more effective strategies for achieving socio-ecological benefits through UA than technological innovation. Overall, UA's benefits are context dependent and vary across lines of difference related to ethnicity, gender, class, and age. This review will serve as a guidepost for future research and policies aiming to support sustainable and equitable UA in the region, and possibly beyond.","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"19 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gec3.70041","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144482037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Amidst the rescaling of global value chains, the fragmentation of production, the rise of cargo-mobilities and accompanying labour regimes, researchers have emphasised containerisation, the rise of logistical systems, and the power of lead shipping firms in driving port interchangeability. Yet, multiple crises and challenges—climate change, pandemic disruptions, decarbonisation, geopolitical conflict, trade wars—impact both global shipping and the ports that sustain global capitalism. Furthermore, such crises widen the scope of research beyond the archetypal container port: to heterogeneous, mixed commodity ‘dirty’ ports of varying sizes and degrees of specialisation. In surveying the literature on maritime ports facilitating circulations of diverse materials and commodities, themes of materiality, maritime labour, and statecraft highlight the different, evolving roles played by ports in a crisis-ridden context. Not merely interchangeable nodes in speeded-up flows, ports are variously environmentally risky places; strategic sites for distributing the heterogeneous materials needed for decarbonisation and globalised production; spaces of regulation, enforcement and conflict; and infrastructural projections of state power—bargaining chips in geopolitical deal-making. Geographers are well-positioned to contribute distinctive insights into how diverse commodities, capital, and people are made to circulate through maritime ports to places beyond, and with what effects.","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"19 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gec3.70038","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144315119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Loneliness manifests as a feeling of being separate, distanced or isolated, and it is therefore a profoundly spatial phenomenon. Yet, engagement with experiences of loneliness has been sporadic in the discipline of geography. This paper develops the concept of loneliness geographically as a way to research the places, relationships, routines, infrastructures and mobilities that deepen or soften experiences of loneliness. In pulling together isolated strands of inquiry within and beyond human geography, it highlights three avenues of spatial inquiry into loneliness that will strengthen research efforts in this field: the structural and political causes of emotions; the spatial and temporal dimensions of social infrastructures; and the affordances of differently situated social relationships. A geographical approach to the study of loneliness as a feeling of connection that is situated in place offers social scientists new avenues for understanding how loneliness is enabled and experienced, and how it might be prevented and abated.","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"19 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gec3.70037","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144244729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper explores how these festivals operate as culturally significant and economically generative spaces that reframe the dominant narrative of craft beer as a white, male-dominated field. Drawing on concepts of cultural capital, tourism geography, and urban economic development, the paper positions Black beer festivals as platforms for reclaiming brewing heritage, fostering community, and advancing racial equity within cultural economies. Beginning with a historical overview of Black American brewing traditions and their suppression through colonialism, Prohibition, and systemic racism, the paper traces a lineage of cultural erasure and resistance that informs the present-day significance of festivals like Blacktoberfest in Atlanta. Through this case study, the analysis reveals how Blacktoberfest embodies localized place-making and global cultural expression, serving both as a space of celebration and as a catalyst for economic participation and social inclusion. Ultimately, the paper argues that Black beer festivals are not merely leisure events but geographies of empowerment, where the cultural, spatial, and economic dimensions of Black life are made visible, valued, and central to rethinking the contours of American craft beer culture.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"19 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144220385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, as a response, people's decisions of whether to move (mobility) or stay (immobility) from the face of climate extreme events will become increasingly important. To date, literature has established that these (im)mobilities are not linear responses to climate extreme events, and instead is a dynamic response that is also influenced by social, economic, political, cultural, environmental, and historical factors. While the theoretical understanding of climate mobilities has gained significant traction in geographical research over the past few years, gaps remain, especially in relation to the Global South. In addition, a narrative assessment of the existing knowledge on the intersection of climate extreme events and (im)mobility in the Global South is also limited. Responding to this gap in knowledge, this review paper first introduces the concept of climate mobility. Then, it examines the concept's strands (mobility and immobility) in the context of the Global South. It argues that a theoretical framing of climate mobilities underpinned by a co-constitutive understanding of place and mobility can help to capture the plurality of climate mobility outcomes. The findings of the paper highlight how sensitivity to place offers a valuable framework for better understanding the plurality of climate mobilities in the Global South in relation to a changing climate.","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"19 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gec3.70032","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144197335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, Autistic people are seldom considered in wellbeing research, which often centres on neurotypical experiences of places. Autistic people's encounters within places, and the effects of these encounters on their wellbeing, are therefore under-researched and under-theorised. This paper considers how a relational conceptualisation of wellbeing, in conjunction with an intersectional understanding of Autistic identities, might bring together insights from critical autism studies and geographies of wellbeing to map out the relationship between autism, place, and wellbeing. Recognising that neuro-normative social landscapes often disable Autistic individuals, we argue for a relational and intersectional approach to understanding and enhancing Autistic wellbeing. We advocate for designing inclusive spaces that actively support the wellbeing of Autistic people, highlighting the vital role we, as geographers, can play in transforming socio-spatial structures to address diverse needs and foster a more equitable environment for everyone.","PeriodicalId":51411,"journal":{"name":"Geography Compass","volume":"19 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gec3.70033","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144197334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
