TL;DR: There have been considerable changes in approaches to the study of regions and regional uneven development in recent years as discussed by the authors, involving a greater reliance upon case studies, qualitative forms of evidence and analysis, and different concepts of theory.
Abstract: H UDSON R. (2003) Fuzzy concepts and sloppy thinking: reflections on recent developments in critical regional studies, Reg. Studies 37 , 741-746. There have been considerable changes in approaches to the study of regions and regional uneven development in recent years. Much of this has been associated with cultural and institutional "turns' in the social sciences, involving a greater reliance upon case studies, qualitative forms of evidence and analysis, and different concepts of theory. For Ann Markusen these developments are problematic, both in themselves and in their resultant increasing detachment from public policy. I have some sympathy with her critique but in some respects see it as misconceived. Not least this is because of its conflation of quantitative methods with a traditional conception of theory that sits oddly with her call for greater policy and political involvement. Such concerns are better served by the theoretical traditions and practices of critical theory and political economy. H UD...

TL;DR: The authors argue that critical and revolutionary educational praxis is increasingly shaped by and through ecological politics and imaginaries, and that critical educators can no longer ignore questions of ecojustice, given the pervasiveness of environmental crisis in our everyday lives and vocabularies.
Abstract: In this article, we argue that critical and revolutionary educational praxis is increasingly shaped by and through ecological politics and imaginaries. Indeed, given the pervasiveness of environmental crisis in our everyday lives and vocabularies, we argue that critical educators can no longer ignore questions of ecojustice. In keeping with a growing interdisciplinary field of green Marxist scholarship, we argue that "greening" critical pedagogy ought not diminish its radical intent or its goal of transforming oppressive social and economic conditions. Drawing on the field of political ecology, we argue for critical revolutionary pedagogy to be informed by a dialectics of ecological and environmental justice that highlights the situatedness of environmental conflict and injustice toward nonhuman nature without obscuring its historical production under capitalist value forms. In particular, we explore schooling as one site of environmental injustice before embarking on a broader discussion of how justice t...
