In the first 2024 issue of Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie that appeared last month, Ilse van liempt and myself formulated our ambitions, dreams and ideas for the future of TESG, and of geographical society journals more generally.
It is an aspiration for a discipline that embraces more critical joint-up thinking. One that highlights theoretically informed, empirically rich scholarship.

What are the ways in which geography can make our understanding of the whole more than the sum of its parts? We also discuss the importance to society journals to have a role to initiate new members (such as PhD's) to the geographical scholarly community and how we try to take "learning to be a scholar" into account in our editorial policy.
