Geography
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.
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.

In the latest issue of Tijdschrift voor Economische Geografie , we published a Forum revisiting Torsten Hägerstrand's (1982) Diorama, Path and
Project (DPP). The various contributions lay out why DPP
remains an important landmark in time-geographical thinking. Many of the articles are free or open access, including the introduction and my own. Other contributions were written by Kajsa Ellegård, Marie Stenseke, Tim Schwanen, Yan Zhang & Yanwei Chai. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/14679663/2023/114/3
Just published, my contribution to @DialoguesHG splendid initiative to publish short essays on the "future of geography". In my take, I argue that school geography offers much untapped potential to make the discipline more than the sum of its parts.

Well, it happened. We knew it was coming. A prick pulled the plug. And what bothers me most about it is how Space Karen did it. My mom passed away just before Christmas. Her decline was something everyone in the family saw coming and we prepared for her demise. It still hurts like hell, but […]
