International Tourism in the Global South: Revealing an Extractive Development Process

The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Hosting international tourism remains a key development strategy for many Global South countries to generate economic growth, government revenue and employment. However, this conventional wisdom can be contested: tourism may instead be seen as an extractive process that disrupts livelihoods, ecosystems and host economies.

Desegregationist Pan‐African Spiritual Strivings: Du Bois, the Black Church and the Critique of Imperialism*

Journal of Religious History, EarlyView.
Abstract This article argues that W. E. B. Du Bois grounded his seminal conceptualisation of “the Negro church” in a Pan‐Africanist challenge to how Christian reformers and missionaries' usage of “Darkest Africa” as a metaphor for modern urban vice and poverty denigrated Africa and the African diaspora while promoting a segregated, imperialist version ...

Summertime warm extremes over the Indochina Peninsula linked to the tropical Indian Ocean tripole mode

Environmental Research Letters
A new air–sea coupled variability of the sea surface temperature anomalies over the tropical Indian Ocean was observed and named as the tropical Indian Ocean tripole (IOT) in terms of its unique tripole pattern in recent studies, which peaks in boreal ...

Functional homogenization of terrestrial mammals outside protected areas in the Hengduan Mountains, China

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite the crucial role of human impacts on biodiversity loss, many assessments of this loss focus on single metrics, such as species richness, and overlook the multidimensional effects of human activities. Because of its importance to ecosystem functioning, we investigated the functional diversity of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal ...

Large Mixed Layer Salinity Variation in the Southern Tropical Indian Ocean Due To the Blending of Water Masses

Geophysical Research Letters
The southern tropical Indian Ocean (TIO) displays large mixed layer salinity (MLS) variation. Circulation in this region is governed by the Indian Ocean tropical gyre (IOTG), where the source water proportion and associated mixing remain unclear ...

Overlap of nonbreeding wandering albatrosses with fisheries and implications for colony‐specific population trajectories at South Georgia

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bycatch in fisheries is one of the most serious threats to pelagic seabirds, causing major population declines. Mitigation measures can reduce bycatch substantially, but many fisheries fail to apply best practices, and seabird mortality remains high.

Gender inequality in urban British Africa: Evidence from Anglican marriage registers

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract We examine the colonial origins and evolution of gender inequality in mission schooling and formal labour force participation across six cities in British colonial Africa, using marriage register data for some 30,000 Anglican brides and grooms well‐positioned to benefit from colonial educational and employment opportunities.

On Schopenhauer's Debt to Spinoza1

European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract Schopenhauer offers ‘nature is not divine but demonic’ as a direct rebuttal of Spinoza's pantheism, his identification of ‘nature’ with ‘God’. And so, one would think, he ought to have been immune to the ‘Spinozism’ that became, as Heine called it, ‘the unofficial religion’ of the age.
