ABSTRACT Geographers engaging with policy debates on armed conflict in the Global South are confronted with a set of difficult questions that have no satisfying answers. In this provocation, I discuss three risks that appear inherent to policy engagement in this domain: the first is contributing to reproducing rather than upending a deeply unjust and unequal world order; the second is reinforcing colonial structures and epistemologies; and the third is facilitating the weaponization of one’s research. The discomforting confrontation with these dilemmas should not deter geographers of armed conflict from contributing to public policy, because non-engagement can be equally – if not more – problematic.

ABSTRACT There has been a lack of coherent spatial thinking in policymaking in the UK due to political and economic considerations. This discussion, based on a spatial planning perspective, explains how the UK government’s often aspatial approach to policymaking and hiding behind the façade of market-led ideology does not stand the test when examining the R&D regional expenditure patterns. It also illustrates that complex layers of administrative boundaries have created a confusing governance structure and closed development possibilities. It finally sheds light on the experience of being a critical friend of the policy community to engender mutual learning.

ABSTRACT In this short intervention I ask whether geographers are helping or hindering progress towards a policy turn. The inclination for turning to research means the largely unspoken aspect of the geography and public policy debate is our role as educators. While research-informed teaching is the fundamental mechanism by which academic staff engage students with public policy concerns, I highlight how the foundational books used in many undergraduate degree programmes to frame ‘doing’ geographical research provide no reference to policy. I argue as geographers we must take more responsibility for exposing students to a diversity of policy in geographical learning and teaching.

ABSTRACT In this provocation, we discuss the potential for health/medical geography to contribute to a policy-relevant geographical research agenda that remains attentive to social theory debates. We illustrate the importance of time as a social determinant of health, through the case study of racial/ethnic inequities in spatial access to acute hospitals in the U.S. South region amid rural hospital closures, conversions, and mergers, which have decreased the supply of hospitals since 1990. In sum, racial disparities in spatial access were most pronounced for travel distances/times to the nearest alternative hospital, underscoring the importance of both temporal and spatial equity.

ABSTRACT Despite recognition that gentrification around the world is state-led – and that gentrification is in of itself de facto an urban policy – few scholars writing about gentrification, including urban geographers, have engaged purposively with urban policy, urban policy makers and other institutional actors. Building on my particular commitment to putting mitigations and solutions to gentrification on the policy table, I once again call for scholars of gentrification to work with policy makers and other institutional actors, to make our research on the negative impacts of gentrification known and to develop alternative and better policy practice.

ABSTRACT Amidst political and institutional demands for a focus on ‘translational’, ‘applied’, ‘useful’, ‘relevant’, ‘impactful’ and ‘engaged’ research, this Special Section revisits and resituates the question of geography’s relationship with public policy and asks how do we respond to these societal demands? We need not start from scratch; in fact, there exists a substantial established literature on the geography–public policy relationship and its actual and potential trajectories. These debates need to be recontextualised and supplemented so that they are more thoroughly situated and sensitized to contemporary conjunctures, risks and opportunities.

ABSTRACT Geographers have a responsibility to address the major challenges of our time by engaging with and shaping policy. The paper introduces three ways this might be achieved – through critical engagement with policy; through occupying liminal spaces that foster agenda setting; and through empowering others to shape policy-from-below. Drawing on a range of experiences related to urban and regional development, the challenges and opportunities of engaging with the policy world are discussed. The paper concludes with a call to strive for a geography of possibility where our discipline is recognized as critical to solving social, economic and environmental challenges.

ABSTRACT This essay examines the ways in which geographers have engaged with the concept and practice of sustainability and the lessons that we might learn from commentaries on the application of geographical ideas in the field of public policy. First, the essay highlights the need to question our academic relationship with a ‘slippery’ concept such as sustainability. Second, it examines the role of geographers in generating impact for sustainability causes and what we might expect to be our role. Third, the essay argues for a revitalized ‘scholar-activist’ approach that draws upon the vocational role of geographers in local environmental contexts.
