abstractIn this article, we reflect upon our varied relationships—as friends, advocates, mentors, and researchers—with refugee resettlement agencies and volunteers in Columbia, South Carolina. We describe the organizational networks that support refugee resettlement in our city as a “refugee ecosystem”—a term that captures the overlapping relationships of interdependency, symbiosis, and sometimes competition among refugee activists, advocates, and service providers. Drawing upon feminist approaches to research, we challenge the idea of the refugee ecosystem as a bounded field that we can enter or leave at will. We reflect on situations (including our efforts to place student volunteers with agencies, and our current participant-observation project on cosponsorship) that have presented practical and ethical challenges because of our relationships with our interlocutors. These situations require us to think about how to balance the feminist goal of diminishing the hierarchical relationships that underpin academic fieldwork with the need, at times, to bring more clarity to one’s role as a researcher.Keywords: Feminist researchfieldworkrefugeesrefugee ecosystemrefugee resettlementDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

Beginning around 2013, an agri-food tech sector coalesced, proffering countless technologies that promise a more sustainable food future. Yet exactly what that future looks like varies dramatically within the sector. Based on an intensive study of this sector, we examine two paradigmatic areas of innovation—alternative protein and digital agriculture—showing how the environmental promises of each translate into very different ideal uses of space. The spatial imaginary underpinning much protein innovation is contained, aiming to bring as much production as possible into highly delimited spaces, whereas the spatial imaginary of digital agriculture is expansive, facilitating farm management at a scale far beyond what a farmer can directly experience. Such divergent technological trajectories, we argue, have always existed in food and agriculture, but they are now incongruously paired within the agri-food tech sector. In addition to being contradictory in their own terms, both wrongly conflate a spatial imaginary with socio-environmental improvement.

ABSTRACTThis paper provides an analysis of the historical trajectory of Turkish geographical practice over the past four decades, situated within the broader socio-political landscape of the country. The transmission of the modern geographical tradition from continental Europe to Turkey during the interwar period established the discipline as a holistic science of the human-environment relationship. Although this understanding started to change after the 1968 events, the 1980 Turkish military coup abruptly disrupted innovative endeavors in the discipline, prompting a resurgence of regionally focused synthesis within geography. This insular approach prevailed for several decades but began to evolve in response to the internationalization trends that emerged in the 2000s, with deliberate steps taken toward fostering innovation. Despite institutional damage resulting from the political developments following the 2016 military coup attempt, the discipline maintained its commitment to innovation. This paper critically examines the divergent responses of Turkish geography and its practitioners to the 1980 military coup and the 2016 coup attempt, highlighting the significant influence of globalization.

This study examines university-driven partnerships that promote entrepreneurship in underserved communities, drawing from the experiences of NCGrowth, an economic development center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. We address the following questions: Who are the central stakeholders? How do they interact? What do their challenges and experiences imply for policymaking and practice in nurturing entrepreneurship ecosystems in underserved communities? We employed social-network analyses of NCGrowth’s projects spanning 2013–2019, supplemented by document analysis of archival data and in-depth interviews. The study uncovers highly asymmetric connections among stakeholders, with universities and government agencies emerging as dominant entities, leveraging universities’ specialized knowledge and community relationships. Nevertheless, challenges surface due to overlapping roles as facilitators, the absence of consistent community carriers of development plans, and a dearth of financial institutions. Our findings advocate for an ecosystem-focused approach to economic development in underserved areas, emphasizing the involvement of additional anchor institutions such as hospitals, major corporations, and philanthropists. Furthermore, policies and practices should integrate the objectives of entrepreneurship, economic growth, and social equity to cultivate inclusive entrepreneurship ecosystems.
本研究借鉴北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校(University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill)经济发展中心NCGrowth的经验,考察了大学驱动的伙伴关系,这些伙伴关系促进了服务不足社区的创业精神。我们解决以下问题:谁是核心利益相关者?它们是如何相互作用的?他们的挑战和经验对在服务不足的社区培育创业生态系统的政策制定和实践意味着什么?我们对NCGrowth 2013-2019年的项目进行了社交网络分析,并辅以档案数据的文件分析和深度访谈。该研究揭示了利益相关者之间的高度不对称关系,大学和政府机构成为主导实体,利用大学的专业知识和社区关系。然而,由于作为促进者的角色重叠,缺乏一致的社区发展计划载体以及缺乏金融机构,挑战浮出水面。我们的研究结果提倡在服务不足的地区采用以生态系统为重点的经济发展方法,强调医院、大公司和慈善家等其他锚机构的参与。此外,政策和实践应整合创业、经济增长和社会公平的目标,以培育包容性创业生态系统。
