Critical Historical Geography
Article
This is an interesting entry to compile in that while most work in historical geography—the subdiscipline of geography concerned with the past and its relations with the present—might now be called “critical historical geography,” the term is scarcely defined. Its story involves changing geographies of environmental and social change (encompassing problems of capitalism, modernity, empire, nation, globalization, violence, and planetary peril, to name just the most prominent) and thus serves as a commentary on changing times and current predicaments from a specific (if eclectic) area of inquiry.

Creating stories of educational change in and for geography: what can we learn from Bolivia and Peru?
Article
This article will explore the potential for embedding education outputs within contemporary geographical scholarship to provide a disciplinary resource for school teachers’ curriculum thinking and pathways to impact for academic geographers. In particular, the article will draw upon two projects to show the empirical depth that can be achieved by developing resources that give teachers and students insight into the particularities of places (in this case Bolivia and Peru) in relation to sustainable development agendas via a focus on the co-production of geographical knowledge. Through engaging with research pursued by geographers, this article sheds light on the relationship between environmental justice and sustainable development, which can play an important role in shaping geography teachers’ curricular decision-making. It also recasts expertise where Indigenous leaders and others with first-hand experience of their local environment are at the forefront of complex decisions and conflicts to determine trajectories of sustainability.

Empire
Encyclopedia entry
“Empire” is one of the most potent words in the English language and the subject of a vast and eclectic literature. Empire’s core (transhistorical) attributes are expansion, hierarchy, and order, which give spatiality to the organization of empires. Geographers have been concerned with how the development of their discipline has dovetailed that of empire. But the liaison between geography and empire is not just a disciplinary affair. The spatiality of empire can be projected on to a much larger screen.
