Gender ; Geographer ; Identity ; Masculinity ; Positionality ; Research ; Social geography ; Woman
This article explores the multiple positionalities that were negotiated during qualitative interviews conducted with older British men who are grandfathers, by a young female early career researcher. Including reflections on personal research
experiences, this research outlines the need for explicit critical attention by geographers to the influence of the fluid intersectional identities of the researcher and researched on research experiences in the field and research outcomes.
Establishing research objectives to address issues of climate change
Global change ; Greenhouse effect ; Research ; Research programme
There are numerous possible expensive research projects that could address each of the many facets of the implications of global climate change. The paper describes a systematic process to identify and the structure the objectives of research
on global change. The result is a hierarchy of 81 important research objectives.

Issues in institutionalizing on-farm client. Oriented research : a review of experiences from nine national agricultural research systems
This paper reviews the experiences of nine national agricultural research systems which have at least five years experience in building on-farm research capacity. Three critical areas of institutionalization are analyzed : integrating on-farm
and experiment station research| involving resource-poor farmers in the research process| and developing interdisciplinary research with a systems perspective. - (l'A.).

Because the facilities for research work in many scientific fields are good in the circumpolar north, every effort to widen cooperation between research institutes should be supported. In this article we try to explain the need
for such international research, using the Kevo subarctic research station of the university of Turku as an example. (Ed).
