Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Social and Environmental Justice:
The journal consistently addresses themes of social justice, environmental justice, and the impacts of colonialism and systemic inequalities, focusing on how geography shapes and is shaped by these issues. - Urban and Rural Dynamics:
Research in this journal explores the complexities of urbanization and rural development in Canada, examining how factors such as immigration, housing, and local economies influence community resilience and identity. - Indigenous Geographies:
A significant emphasis on Indigenous perspectives and issues, including land rights, health, and environmental stewardship, reflects the journal's commitment to decolonial approaches in geography. - Climate Change and Sustainability:
The journal places a strong focus on climate change, sustainability, and environmental adaptation strategies, particularly in the Canadian context, highlighting local responses to global challenges. - Digital Geographies and Technological Impacts:
The integration of technology in geographical research is a growing area, with studies exploring digital geographies, smart cities, and the implications of technology on social interactions and urban planning.
Trending and Emerging
- Climate Justice and Resilience:
There is an increasing focus on climate justice, examining how marginalized communities are disproportionately affected by climate change, and exploring strategies for building resilience in these communities. - Intersectionality in Geography:
Emerging themes around intersectionality, particularly regarding race, gender, and socio-economic status, are gaining traction as researchers strive to understand the multifaceted nature of geographical issues. - Community and Participatory Research:
A trend towards participatory research methodologies is evident, emphasizing the importance of community engagement and local knowledge in geographical research and planning. - Health Geographies:
The rise of health geographies, particularly in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, is notable, with research focusing on the spatial dimensions of health disparities and access to healthcare resources. - Technological Impacts on Society:
The exploration of how technology reshapes social interactions, urban environments, and geographical practices is increasingly prominent, reflecting the significance of digital transformations in contemporary society.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Economic Geography:
Research focusing solely on traditional economic geography, such as industrial location and resource allocation, has seen a decline, possibly due to a shift towards more interdisciplinary and socially conscious approaches. - Purely Theoretical Geographical Models:
There has been a noticeable reduction in the publication of papers that emphasize purely theoretical models without empirical grounding, as the journal increasingly values applied research that addresses real-world issues. - Historical Geography:
While historical perspectives remain important, there appears to be a waning interest in studies that do not connect historical insights with contemporary geographical issues, reflecting a trend towards relevance in current debates. - Conventional Urban Planning:
The focus on traditional urban planning paradigms is less frequent, as the journal gravitates towards innovative and participatory approaches that incorporate community engagement and social equity. - Environmental Determinism:
Research that leans towards environmental determinism, which suggests that the environment solely shapes human behavior and societal outcomes, is becoming less favored in favor of more nuanced, reciprocal relationships between society and environment.
