> Overflow is defined in dictionaries as the excess or surplus impossible to be accommodated within an available space. This neutral definition leads to a great many research questions. Who, what and how decides what space is available? Who, what and how decides what "accommodate" means, and who or what will be doing this accommodation? Who, what and how decides what is excess and surplus, and where does the border or the edge lie?
> 
> This special issue invites papers that describe and analyse the way people and organizations deal with overflows of various kinds: not only information, goods and tasks, but also abstract concepts such as diagnoses or concrete beings such as people (Czarniawska and Löfgren, 2012). The principal query is when and where the notion of overflow - framed in terms of excess and abundance and/or their opposites, scarcity and dearth - appears, and how is it dealt with in different contexts, from domestic consumption to refugee influx to climate control? Do seemingly diverse overflows have similar dynamics? And, does the management of different overflows follow a similar logic, or does such logic depend on the type of overflow? Does such logic change in different settings and times?
> 
> Answers to such questions necessitate a historical and comparative approach (Galbraith, 1958/1998; Offer, 2006). For whom is abundance a problem or a blessing? What one culture defines as necessity, another might see as excess; and such differences can exist even in the same society among different levels of the social hierarchy. It has become clear that uses and definitions of a concept such as overflow are culturally charged, and framed by the given social and historical context in which they are applied.
> 
> New kinds of overflows, or even old kinds of overflows in new settings, necessitate new or renewed ways of managing them. The very term "managing", however, has a double meaning: controlling but also coping. Thus the ways of dealing with overflow could be divided into learning to live with overflow or learning to control it, depending on the frame chosen. To define something as an overflow is already a way to control it, while living with it might turn out to be a way of reproducing or even magnifying it (Czarniawska and Löfgren, 2013). Do attempts to deal with overflow generate new competences, routines and coping strategies for organizations as well as individuals? Studies and papers describing how such different strategies work are very welcome.

> Ecopolitical Homelessness
> Defining place in an unsettled world
> By Gerard Kuperus
> This book proposes that we are utterly lost and that the loss of a sense of place has contributed to different crises, such as the environmental crisis, the immigration crisis, and poverty. With a rising number of environmental, political, and economic displacements the topic of place becomes more and more relevant and philosophy has to take up this topic in more serious ways than it has done so far. To counteract this problem, the book provides suggestions for how to think differently, both about ourselves, our relationship to other people, and to the places around us.

> Bicycle Justice and Urban Transformation
> Biking for all?
> Edited by Aaron Golub, Melody L. Hoffmann, Adonia E. Lugo, Gerardo F. Sandoval
> Bicycle Justice and Urban Transformation demonstrates that for those with privilege, bicycling can be liberatory, a lifestyle choice, whereas for those surviving at the margins, cycling is not a choice, but an often oppressive necessity. Ignoring these "invisible" cyclists skews bicycle improvements towards those with choices. This book argues that it is vital to contextualize bicycling within a broader social justice framework if investments are to serve all street users equitably.

> A Cultural History of Climate Change
> Edited by Tom Bristow, Thomas S. Ford
> A Cultural History of Climate Change examines the cultural history of climate change under three broad headings: history, writing and politics. To address these challenges, this book positions our present moment of climatic knowledge within much longer histories of climatic experience. Only in light of these histories, it argues, can we properly understand what climate means today across an array of discursive domains, from politics, literature and law to neighbourly conversation.

> MA Cultural Politics: Winchester School of Art: Now Recruiting for October 2017
> This MA programme offers a broad and accessible interdisciplinary approach to the study of contemporary cultural politics. Students are introduced to a variety of cultural perspectives and political traditions in addition to the creative interface between these disciplines. Gradually addressing numerous central themes, ranging from mass media culture to the politics of globalization, the MA in Cultural Politics combines the essential themes and leading figures of classical and present-day cultural and political studies along with the latest developments in cultural and political theory. The MA in Cultural Politics is designed to meet the needs of students who wish to study at the intersection between the creative and professional cultural industries and who envisage a career in the arts and policy worlds, in government, industry or in academia.

> Globalization 2.0: Geopolitical shifts, urbanisation and global infrastructure space
> 
> In an editorial in January 2016 the Financial Times editor Lionel Barber suggested we are at the advent of a new age: Globalization 2.0, one that is predicated on shifting geo-political and geo-economic power (Cowen and Smith 2009; Power 2010) after 500 years of dominance by the ‘West’ (Gunder Frank 1998). Here we see massive territorial transformations based on a multipolar world in which new infrastructure space — connections, investments, and relations — are being configured in preparation for the next phase of the global economy. Global infrastructure space largely operates via ‘extrastatecraft’ (Easterling 2014), the places, objects, and interactions through which global politics are enacted. Much like the earlier hallmarks of globalization, the creation of this new global infrastructure space is transforming urban landscapes worldwide. In turn, cities are embedded in, and act as, new geopolitical and geo-economic infrastructure space themselves.
> 
> In this session we seek to consider urban regions as the sites of globalization 2.0 and to examine infrastructure space ‘in place’, not solely through the material, digital, and capital flows and circulations of the economy itself. While infrastructure has traditionally been conceived of as universally distributed services for a city (Graham and Marvin 2001) these services have historically operated in an uneven fashion that fractured or splintered a city apart (Coutard 2002). We are interested in how these new processes of infrastructuralisation reshape existing urban geographies within and beyond cities of the global North and global South. These sessions therefore involve furthering understandings of how entire urban districts or particular spaces — the materialities of the city itself — become an infrastructure of transnational capitalism (Easterling 2014). We seek to provoke debate about the ways in which urban space as globally-oriented infrastructures takes the spatial form of self-contained zones or large scale urban megaprojects (Olds 1995; Swyngedeouw et al. 2002) and how these processes of infrastructuralisation embody local, regional, national and transnational forms of (re)territorialisation that have important implications for social justice, equality and democratic involvement.
> 
> Potential papers could include (but are not limited to):
> • The planning, design, construction, and maintenance of new or transformed global infrastructure space.
> • The geo-politics of urbanisation and territorial transformation in the 21st century vis-a-vis infrastructuralisation. 
> • The reconfiguration of relations between nation-states, urban regions and other intermediaries involved in the governing of or the production of global infrastructure space.
> • The everyday assembling, operation and maintenance of these global infrastructure spaces.
> • The processes of territorial integration of these sites into spatially-proximate, if not globally-aligned, regional economies. 
> • New, comparative methodologies for such research, conceptualized around thinking across different contexts particularly between the global North and South.
> 
> In addition to the AAG sessions we have arranged a pre-AAG event on these issues with a number of great speakers the day before the conference, Tuesday 4 April 2017. We will be taking to the Boston harbour in UMass Boston’s MV Columbia Point to think about global infrastructure space in a regional Northeast United States context. We do hope that you would also be available for this in order to extend our conversations beyond the conference itself.

> The Economic Geographies of Post Conflict and New Born States
> 
> Nick Williams (University of Leeds) and Tim Vorley (University of Sheffield) 
> 
> One of the most pressing challenges in post-conflict economies and new born states is (re-)establishing strong and stable economy, which can provide an important basis for social development, and with it hope. Indeed economic stability is widely understood as a prerequisite for the continued peace and security of nations. However, in post-conflict economies, and new born states in particular, economies and economic systems are understandably embryonic and fragile. Academic debate has centred on the role of governments and non-governmental organisations in the reconstruction process, but there is a need to incorporate a wider range of perspectives and with different voices. 
> 
> Post-conflict economies face a number of challenges in tackling legacies of war. Policy must be holistic in tackling social and economic barriers so that inclusive approaches for creating opportunities are realised. While the literature on transition economies is well-established (Galbreath, 2005, 2009; Estrin and Prevezer, 2011; Welter and Smallbone, 2011), much less is understood regarding the specifics of social and economic development in post conflict and new born states. The legacy of war often means that social development is fragmented, with ethnic and sub-national tensions often persistent (Yannis, 2009). 
> 
> At the economic level, post-conflict economies often contain environments which are hostile for undertaking economic activity, with weak formal institutions and poor enforcement of laws, regulations and property rights (Hoxha, 2009). These weaknesses are caused by the nature of conflict and are exacerbated within newly independent states which previously lacked strong institutions at the national level. Yet there can also be cultural resistance to policy reforms, with the mindsets of the population focused on the opportunities available and the rules and regulations in place under the previous regime (Estrin and Mickiewicz, 2011). This cultural resistance can be slow to change and represents a key challenge to creating a dynamic economy which supports the discovery and exploitation of new ideas.
> 
> .The aim of these sessions are to explore the economic geographies of post conflict and new born states. We invite conceptual, methodological and empirical contributions that explore the economies of post conflict spaces and new born states. Papers may relate to but not limited to the following debates:
> 
> •	Economic policy in post conflict and new born states 
> •	Enterprise in post conflict and new born states
> •	Aid and intervention in post conflict and new born states
> •	The role of social entrepreneurship in post conflict and new born states
> •	Economic reconstruction in post conflict and new born states
> 
> Those interested in participating should direct questions and submit an abstract of no more than 250 words to [log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask] 1st October 2016. Selected participants must also formally submit their abstract to the AAG by the October 29th 2016 deadline and share their PIN when registered.

> 
> Dear all,
> 
> Please find attached the second call for papers for our session at the 2017 AAG conference in Boston. We have had a very positive response to the call so far, and are therefore hoping to put on multiple sessions. If you would like to present a paper as part of this discussion, please see the details below.

> 
> AAG 2017 Boston (April 5th-8th, 2017)
> 
> Critical geographies and security studies have led the way in dealing with the complex material entanglements and transformations that underpin and organise, but also complicate, modes of governance and security (Adey and Anderson, 2012, Aradau, 2010). Insight has been unearthed with particular efficacy, we feel, when security has been thought of as a set of practices and performances (O’Grady, 2015). Examples of such performances range from moments of interface with digital technologies; at the front line in an emergency’s wake or real-time unfolding; or at the borders between nation states. Whilst such practices might be said to hinge upon lively material objects in their execution, they must also be appreciated for their constitutive effects, whereby they bring into being new material conditions.
> 
> In organising these panels, we encourage participants to reflect upon the politics behind security practices and the ways in which these politics may be unpacked, through exploring their constitutive materialities and the new material conditions that they bring about in their performance. In this manner, we hope to examine the different ways in which security practices are configured, attending to their logics, aesthetics, temporalities and spatialities, along with the material assemblages and affective forces that rise to prominence in their performance. In so doing, we hope to call to the fore and open up the politics of dynamic material and immaterial security practices.

> Subject: Announcing a new Geography list at Rowman & Littlefield International
> 
> Rowman & Littlefield International (www.rowmaninternational.com) is delighted to announce that we’re commissioning a new range of titles in Human, Cultural and Political Geography.  Over the past four years we’ve developed a range of interdisciplinary titles relevant to geographers across the globe through our publishing in Politics and International Relations, Philosophy and Cultural Studies.  We’ve developed an exciting range of monographs, edited collections and textbooks so far with series including ‘Place, Memory, Affect’, ‘Rethinking the Island’ and ‘Geopolitical Bodies, Material Worlds’.
> 
> Building on the success of our publishing in this space, we now plan to launch a standalone list of titles focussed on Human, Cultural and Political Geography.  We’re keen to commission new research, supplementary texts, core textbooks and reference works in this exciting diverse field.  
> We’re particularly keen to commission student-friendly work in the following areas: 
> 
> Asian Geographies
> 
> Cultural Geography
> 
> Environment, Economy and Society
> 
> Geographies of Difference and Identity
> 
> Geographies of Memory
> 
> Globalization
> 
> Methods and Methodologies
> 
> Philosophy and Geography
> 
> Social and Cultural Geography
> 
> Social Movements
> 
> Transnationalism, Migration, and Gender
> 
> 
> If you have an idea that you’d like to discuss with please get in touch.

> Dear Colleague,
> 
> This is to let you know about a new campaigning website:
> 
> http://everydaynonsenseineducation.com
> 
> It is a place to tell your stories about the daily foolishness in
> conversations, jargon, directives, cuts, inspections and feudal-style
> management that has undermined the creativity of educators, turned schools
> into testing factories, distorted thinking in universities, and pushed many
> out of teaching.
> 
> 
> 
> You might report a niggling irritation or a practice severe enough to be
> seen as abusive. You can do so anonymously. By collecting together our
> stories we increase our collective strength to change the present system
> into one that is more joyful and humane.
> 
> 
> Can you help to circulate this announcement and the attached flyer?
> 
> 
> With very best wishes,
