UPDATE
UPDATE: Geographical Imaginations is busy putting together episodes for the next few months. As always, we are engaged with a wide range of subject matter. Join us for one of our radio expeditions into the everything and nothing. Stay tuned in March and April for explorations of the Safari in Serengeti National Park and Dar es Salaam’s architectural history. As part of our summer reading series (May/June) we read and place into context J.K. Wright’s 1946 Association of American Geographers’ Presidential Address with his introduction to the concept of geosophy. Later in the summer we will broadcast a 2-part interview with Yi Fu Tuan, a giant in 20th-century academic geography and a huge influence on this show.

EPISODE THIRTY NINE Dar City Geographies
“Geographical Imaginations: Radio Expeditions into the Geographies of Everything and Nothing” is back this weekend with its monthly installment of explorations all-things-geography (or, geography of all things?). We call EPISODE THIRTY-NINE Dar City Geographies. Joining us is geographer Dr. Sarah Smiley from Kent State University who discusses a wide range of themes all related to the Tanzanian super-city, Dar es Salaam. We discuss the legacy of historical segregation policies on the urban landscape; the improvements made to the transport infrastructure in this rapidly growing city; and how different it is for residents to fetch water across the different districts of this city. Check us out this Saturday (Feb. 24) at 9:06 PM (Dar es Salaam), 7:06 PM (Madrid), and 1:06 PM (New York)at Radio Fabrik. As always, all episodes are uploaded to the website archive after initial broadcast. Look for EPISODE THIRTY NINE here.
EPISODE THIRTY EIGHT: Piece by Piece
In “Piece by Piece,” we sit down with Rukia Hatibu, aka The Annoyin’ Artist, to discuss the importance of making public our ideas, stories and “pieces.” It is not enough to ask questions about who we are. What is vital is having an actual place to do it. Her evening forum helps showcase different voices and provides a space for personal poetic development. As if that was not enough, Rukia also discusses her new initiative, AIDIM, that seeks to bring out this same development in school children. (Photo by Sonia Ibáñez)
This episode first airs from Radio Fabrik in Salzburg, Austria on Saturday, January 27 at 7:06 PM local time.
