Negotiating multiple positionalities in the interview setting : researching across gender and generational boundaries
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.
On the politics of time and place in a transforming South African research environment : new challenges for research students
Human geography ; Political reform ; Research ; South Africa ; Space time
South Africa has experienced a series of fundamental changes in its institutional structures over the past decade. The paper suggests that these changes underpin a new research environment for research students, the implications of which
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).
The need for research in geographic education : it would be nice to have some data
Education ; Pedagogy ; Research programme ; Teaching of geography ; United States of America
To make the case for geography in America's schools, the A. asserts we need a series of baseline studies, a research agenda and a research clearinghouse. - (DWG)
The impact of scientific research on Australian rural productivity
Contribution of Australian scientific research activity to agricultural productivity for Australian agriculture. The utilisation of a distributed lag function to describe the research/productivity relationship suggested a mean lag of approximately 6
years between changes in research activity and total factor productivity.

Landscape ecology. Geographical research direction or an interdisciplinary research programme?
The landscape ecology existing in geography since the time of A. von HUMBOLDT, was named landscape physiology . Since C. TROLL (1939) obtained the name landscape ecology . From the point of view of geography it is a complex research aiming
to the rational space organisation of landscape. As an interdisciplinary applied research programme it is open to biology and other landscape sciences. - (MS)
Feminism ; Gender difference ; Research ; Social geography ; Societal relations ; Theory
The methodological implications of combining feminist and geographic research are discussed. In feminist research efforts, theory, method, and purpose of research are inextricable. The AA. examine the meaning of this blending for the language
, conceptualizations, methods, and scale used in feminist geographic research. The goal of more inclusive research and knowledge is the transformation of gendered power relations.
Research in planning. The significance of information from research and surveys in thirty year regional planning
Enquiry ; Information ; Netherlands (The) ; Regional planning ; Research
A good land use plan is based upon an insight in the current social developments and spatial potentials. This insight is gained by research performed during the planning process, which in this book is called research in planning. Dutch spatial
planning has a long tradition in making use of planning surveys and research. In this study the self-evidence of the positive role of research in planning is questioned : what is the function of the information from research and surveys performed during
