“…With recent academic debates about the voices of “dissidents” or social or spatial “outsiders,” as shortly discussed in this paper, the crossing of boundaries that is advocated by historians of ideas seems very relevant today. Furthermore, there are several recent examples of comparative studies on national or local disciplinary differences (e.g., Hoyez, Collins, & Fleuret, 2016; Peake, 2011). Such studies often focus on one specific geographical subfield such as, for instance, social or health geography, but because of its comparative and spatial scope the Lovejoyian notion of “different provinces” and his notion of ideas as “meeting points” become apparent.…”

Revisiting the history of ideas: A forgotten resource for historians of geography

In this paper I revisit the mid-twentieth century body of literature founding the field of the history of ideas, emphasising the work of Arthur Lovejoy (1873-1962). This branch of intellectual history is often overshadowed by both the history of knowledge and the history of science. I will argue that the history of ideas is valuable to any historian of geography, even though some of its key arguments are justly criticised and rejected. Subsequently, I will reflect on recent examples of how histories of geography have been written and the role of geographers within a "spatial turn" taken by intellectual history. These elements will then be connected to the history of ideas, explaining why this field might be valuable to disciplinary historians, and brief reference will be made to the most explicit borrowing from this field by "idealist human geography." The central argument is that a Lovejoyian history of ideas has contributed to the inclusion of and emphasis on certain non-elitist voices in academia and the crossing of boundaries between disciplines, language areas and countries. Although certain epistemological aspects of this field might not withstand criticism, other aspects of what it has achieved might still be worth revisiting.

“…Some of these institutions wax and wane in their relative importance over time but most feature consistently as centres of excellence for the sub‐discipline. An analysis of changing institutional affiliations adds detail to this picture: language and nation are clear constraints for French, German, and Francophone Canadian institutions (Hoyez et al., ; Rodríguez‐Pose, ). Among Anglophone participants, there is a large international network of universities within which most changes of affiliation take place.…”

Presenting health and medical geography: People, places, and change

Assessments of the development of geography as a discipline, and studies of sub‐disciplinary development within geography, have generally focused on the subject matter under study. Consideration has concentrated on topics, theories, methods, and paradigm shifts identified by analyses of published literature. There has been rather less interest in the spatialisation of the practice and performance of the discipline by people and institutions (though there have been exceptions) and equally little attention to the evidence provided by geographical conferences. We address these lacunae in current knowledge through a quantitative study of changing disciplinary endeavour in health geography as evidenced by participation in the International Medical Geography Symposia. For 35 years this biennial meeting has been the flagship conference for health and medical geographers. We have obtained, reviewed, and coded the proceedings of all 17 symposia, analysing the submitted papers by location of symposia, lead authorship, affiliation, and country of authorship. We investigate the globalisation of the sub‐discipline and changes in key institutional involvement. Novel network analysis methods are used to identify changing linkages between research centres. What emerges is a complex sub‐discipline driven by the changing neoliberal context of higher education and marked by both continuities and discontinuities in its practitioner networks.

“…Bode’s (2006) work on Germany and France (alongside Britain) highlights how the voluntary sector sits within a process of permanent dis- and reorganization, where long-established patterns of a system-wide coordination via negotiated public-private partnerships have turned into volatile configurations, with a growing albeit varying influence of the market rationale. This is compounded further in France by the complex territorialization of the French state, which Hoyez et al (2016) argue defies simple explanation and lacks direct parallels in most Anglophone countries.…”

We propose that voluntary sector geographies are best understood using a systematic relational approach, drawing upon neo-Marxist and symbiotic perspectives. We focus on relations between the voluntary sector and the (shadow) state, internal spaces of client interaction, and external urban spaces. Our relational approach advances alternative understandings of the voluntary sector: ones that are partly but not fully in the orbit of the shadow state; more mediator than conduit for neoliberal policies; partly punitive, yet firmly in relation with other ambivalent measures for clients; and both spatially uneven and fixed, but always unbounded in its practices.
