“…AGORA's founding occurred at a dire moment in Dutch geography. In AGORA's founding year, the VU's geography department was dissolved (de Pater & de Smidt 1989, p. 352). As several staff members and students from the VU were integrated at the University of Amsterdam (UvA), graduates from the UvA soon joined AGORA's Amsterdam‐based voluntary editorial team.…”

Understanding human geography's development requires looking beyond high‐profile academic journals. Alternative publication circuits are spaces of experimentation and play an important role in the discipline's intergenerational reproduction. This paper narrates the 35‐year trajectory of AGORA Magazine, a Dutch–Flemish popular‐scientific early‐career publication focusing on a broad array of socio‐spatial issues. Uncovering AGORA's history guided by a network analysis of co‐occurring authors, we develop two main arguments. First, the affiliation network extracted from AGORA's archive separates the magazine's history into five eras. These periods provide a window to understand the transformations of Dutch and Flemish human geography and related disciplines during the past decades, critically reflecting the zeitgeist of research topics, approaches and ideologies. Second, we probe the value of AGORA as nursery institution for early‐career scholars, establishing myriad inter‐university and transnational connections. We conclude by assessing the value of ‘second league’ native‐language publications in the context of ongoing internationalization.

“…For a Dutch geographer nearing retirement, such as Van Paassen, this must have felt like history repeating itself. Van Paassen was a veteran of a long scholarly fight in the Netherlands in the 1950s, in which sociologists had aggressively pushed to take geography's place at universities because geography was deemed unfit for the modern, urban, quantified world (De Pater & De Smidt 1989). For scholars such as Buttimer and Van Paassen, the lack of attention to the French and German geographical traditions in these debates was cringeworthy, as they were convinced answers were to be found there (Buttimer 1974;Van Paassen 1976;.…”

This reflection on Arild Holt-Jensen's lecture "Transformations in the discipline of geography experienced over 60 years by a Norwegian geographer" contemplates the mechanisms by which autobiographical writing enhanced the pedagogical value of textbooks. By recalling Anne Buttimer's and Torsten Hägerstrand's International Dialogue Project (1977)(1978)(1979)(1980)(1981)(1982)(1983)(1984)(1985)(1986)(1987)(1988), it is argued that Holt-Jensen's approach has the same pedagogical potential as the International Dialogue project had for an earlier generation of geographers. As such, this contribution appreciates the contributions of humanist geographical tradition to geographical communication and pedagogy.
