Geographical issues on the Czech and Slovak territory have been traditionally researched at universities, and since 1950s at the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences too. In 1962 four independent geographical departments fused and the unique Institute

Etude des conditions changeantes de la production de connaissances, caractérisées par l'internationalisation, la concurrence et les comportements de marché. Elles peuvent conduire à une homogénéisation des pratiques de publications en sciences

This article analyses disabilities in British academic workplaces and how they intersect with academic careers, lifestyles and workplaces. First, it discusses the experiences of those geographers who are active and politicised in relation
to their disabilities, and have worked to effect inclusionary change in their institutional and disciplinary spaces. Second, it highlights the experiences of geographers with mental health conditions that are undisclosed in workplace contexts. It concludes
that these data should prompt reflection on the institutional and disciplinary spaces the researchers inhabit and constitute, especially how spaces of academia may be ‘conducive to poor mental health.

The paper discusses a survey of British academic human geographers enquiring about change and diversification within personal research activities, their nature, motivations and impacts. The findings highlight the range of motivations underpinning
research change, its impacts and mediation through the institutional context of British human geography. It concludes that despite a more prescriptive institutional context geographers have a degree of autonomy, albeit somewhat fettered, to shape their own
