"For us, remembering [Anton Wilhelm] Amo is not only about imagining what Berlin might look like if he were here today, but also about recognizing how memory travels — and how histories of colonialism, resistance, and survival echo between places."

'Later life mobilities at the margins of urban geography' by James Esson et al.

This paper examines how older people navigate African cities, focusing on Ghana, & contributes to reimagining how knowledge is produced with & about cities in the Majority World.

doi.org/10.1111/tran...
Screenshot of a paper abstract in Transactions by James Esson, Ebenezer F. Amankwaa, Katherine V. Gough, Peter Mensah, Katie McQuaid & Ross Wignall (2025) entitled: 'Later life mobilities at the margins of urban geography' with a red banner at the top. The projected increase in older people within the African population, alongside rapid urbanisation, points to the growing importance of understanding how older people navigate towns and cities across the continent. This aligns with wider concerns that geographical scholarship needs to pay more sustained attention to ageing in Global South contexts. Rather than treating these developments as problems or absences, we approach them as opportunities to explore how geographies of later life can generate new ways to conceptualise the urban experience. To this end, the paper draws on the local vernacular of older residents in the Ghanaian cities of Accra and Sekondi-Takoradi to decentre, contextualise and expand the vocabulary used to depict and interpret urban mobilities. The findings reveal ‘hidden geographies of ageing’ through three forms of mobility practice: Mpanyinfo ho hia (respectful mobilities), YƐ mboa nkoa (collective mobilities) and Me te fie (retired mobilities). These insights enrich conceptual understandings of city life by showing how older people navigate, engage with and shape social hierarchies, communal support networks and economic rationalities. By amplifying the voices of a population often overlooked in epistemological and policy deliberations, this intervention supports interdisciplinary efforts to reimagine how knowledge is produced with and about cities in the Global South. Crucially, the paper challenges the Southern urban critique to better reflect the plurality of marginality that influences everyday life in the Majority World.

One lawyer. 2,346 fraudulent Violence Against Women Act petitions = 47% of ALL withdrawn VAWA applications NATIONWIDE. The staggering scale of Kofi Amankwaa's immigration fraud scheme is incredible — and his victims are still suffering.

'A mixed-methods approach to researching extreme heat: Insights from urban Ghana' by Katherine V. Gough et al.

This paper shares experiences from using a range of methods to conduct research on extreme indoor heat.

doi.org/10.1111/area... #geosky
Screenshot of a paper abstract in Area by Katherine V. Gough, Ben M. Roberts, Ebenezer Forkuo Amankwaa, Karim Abdullah, Samuel Nii Ardey Codjoe, Ronald Reagan Gyimah, Raymond Kasei, Kevin J. Lomas, Frederick Wireko Manu, Peter Mensah, Eftychia Spentzou & Robert L. Wilby (2025) entitled 'A mixed-methods approach to researching extreme heat: Insights from urban Ghana' with a black banner at the top. Extreme heat is both a chronic and acute threat to the health and well-being of urban populations. The aim of this paper is to share experiences from using a range of quantitative and qualitative methods to conduct research on extreme indoor heat, plus highlight the benefits of taking this more holistic approach. Research conducted in urban Ghana measured temperatures in homes and workplaces, evaluated existing coping strategies of residents, and identified affordable retrofitting measures to reduce indoor temperatures. Eight data-gathering techniques were applied within our multi-dimensional research framework: thermistors, wearable sensors, qualitative interviews, thermal comfort surveys, diaries, participatory photography, dynamic thermal modelling, and testing of retrofits using full-scale experimental buildings. Our experiences of using each method are appraised individually and collectively. We contend that culturally and locally nuanced adaptations to extreme indoor heat can only be discerned by a community-led, mixed-methods approach. It is hoped that other multi-faceted studies of extreme heat can benefit from our experiences and reflections.
