“…Methodologically, while critical geographic research mostly relies on qualitative methods, efforts have been made to make space for critical quantitative analysis (Kwan and Schwanen, 2009) that can work on issues of gender (Mattingly and Falconer-Al-Hindi, 1995) and race (Carter, 2009). Furthermore, community-engaged counter-mapping efforts (e.g.…”

This paper reviews critical demography, revisiting its initial invocation as a paradigm focusing on the interweaving of power relations and demographic outcomes. Building on earlier critiques about demography's proclivity to positivist epistemology, I contribute to the initial proposition by framing demography as a power-knowledge, exposing the politics of demographic knowledge production. While critical demography remains marginal in demography, interdisciplinary demographers from allied fields have provided important contributions. Given the contemporary moment characterized by social and ecological upheavals, I argue for a recalibration—Critical Demography 2.0—which seriously reflects on the “critical” and works toward emancipatory politics, addressing issues of social justice and plight of marginalized populations. In moving forward, I argue for the need to think of praxis (demography for marginalized populations), epistemological diversity (mixed methods, critical quantification, and interdisciplinarity), and sustained engagement on critical themes. Critical geographers can offer an important role in recalibrating critical demography, by our emphasis on spatial politics and spatial justice, critical quantification, and community-engaged countermapping.

Political ecology and the Foucault effect: A need to diversify disciplinary approaches to ecological management?

While explicitly Foucauldian analyses have declined in recent years in the social sciences, Foucault’s ideas continue to strongly influence scholars’ approaches to power, governance and the state. In this article, we explore how Foucauldian concepts shape the work of political ecologists and social scientists working on environmental management, multispecies ethnography and the Anthropocene – often in an unrecognized way. We argue that – regardless of whether or not Foucault’s work is explicitly cited – his legacy of linking scientific projects, population management and state control continues to have an outsized impact on thinking in these fields. It is time, we assert, to directly consider how such theoretical inheritances are affecting the shape of political ecology, in particular, and the social sciences, more generally. How, we ask, are Foucauldian traditions at once enabling and constraining more-than-human scholarship? In this article, we explore the contributions and limitations of Foucauldian approaches in environmental contexts through empirical attention to trout introduction and management efforts in South Africa. Our overall aim is to call for a deeper conversation about how scholars working on environmental topics engage the science-governance nexus. The article ends with proposing landscape, as a material enactment of more-than-human politics, as a useful analytical category to this end.

Feminist methodologies refer to the theoretical underpinning of the practices, procedures, and rules used by feminists to conduct research. The particular contributions made by feminist geographers to debates on feminist methodologies relate to the intersections of space, power, and knowledge. These contributions are fourfold: spatializing existing feminist approaches to knowledge production; new spatialized contributions to feminist methodologies; engagements with methodological practices that speak to the valorizing of epistemology over praxis; and debates on methods, particularly quantitative versus qualitative approaches.
