Structure, Governance and Management

The Antipode Foundation was incorporated as a private company limited by guarantee on 14[th] April 2011 (no. 7604241) and registered as a charity on 7[th] July 2011 (no. 1142784). It has a governing body of 11 trustees (who are also directors for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006) and an executive director (who is also the company secretary) to whom the day-to-day management of its affairs is delegated. The Foundation owns Antipode: A Radical Journal of Geography , a leading critical human geography journal established in 1969, and grants an exclusive right to publish it to John Wiley & Sons Limited (hereafter Wiley); in return it receives royalties equivalent to a proportion of the revenues from subscription sales.

The Foundation’s principal charitable activity and source of income is the production of Antipode ; surpluses generated from primary purpose trading are either [i] distributed in the form of grants made to universities and similar institutions to support conferences, workshops and seminar series, collaborations between academics and nonacademic activists, and the transformation of geography into a more diverse, equitable and inclusive discipline, or [ii] used to arrange and fund summer schools and other meetings, public lectures, and the translation of academic publications. Together with Antipode itself, these initiatives promote and advance, for public benefit, social scientific research, education and scholarship in the field of radical and critical geography by enabling the pursuit and dissemination of valuable new knowledge.

The Foundation’s articles of association outline its objects and trustees’ powers and responsibilities, and prescribe regulations. Trustees are required to take decisions collectively; they communicate regularly throughout the year and hold an annual general meeting at which the Foundation’s objectives and activities are discussed, the last year’s achievements and performance are reviewed (including a report from the Editor in Chief of

Antipode Foundation Ltd.–Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 30[th] April 2021

Antipode outlining the journal’s progress, and any opportunities and challenges it faces), and decisions on the next year’s grant-making and funding are made in the light of detailed financial plans. The quorum for this meeting is five of the trustees.[1]

The normal term for a trustee is five years, normally renewable once (giving a maximum term of ten years). When a trustee resigns the remaining trustees will select an appropriate replacement, seeking to not only recruit someone with the right skills and experience but also sustain/increase the board’s diversity: an exclusive board risks alienating beneficiaries.[2] The Foundation’s trustees carefully consider the Charity Commission’s and Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators’ guidance on best practice regarding trustee induction.

At the 2019/20 AGM, Paul Chatterton (School of Geography, University of Leeds, UK), Vinay Gidwani (Department of Geography, University of Minnesota, USA) and Melissa Wright (Department of Geography, Pennsylvania State University, USA) announced that they would be stepping down at the end of April 2021. All three were stellar trustees, and part of the Foundation from the beginning. Their hard work and dedication helped form the Foundation over its first decade, and they leave it in great shape as their remaining colleagues, Sharad Chari, Tariq Jazeel, Katherine McKittrick, Jenny Pickerill and Nik Theodore, are joined in May 2021 by the first trustees who have not edited the journal. We were delighted when Michelle Daigle, LaToya Eaves, Jack Gieseking, AbdouMaliq Simone, Brett Story and Sandie Suchet-Pearson agreed to join the board, and their appointment is an important step towards increasing its diversity as the Foundation enters its second decade.

Trustees are not entitled to direct remuneration but, as outlined in its application for registration as a charity, the Foundation makes an annual grant of £1,000 to each trustee to be paid into a restricted account administered by the organisation that employs them. The grants are intended to support each trustee in their capacity as researcher, educator and scholar, and are gestures of appreciation and goodwill to the universities employing them. Without the time and labour of the trustees the Foundation would be

unable to raise funds and work (and the Foundation will flourish only under the stewardship of the very best radical geographers) and it is important to recognise the value of a trustee’s contribution at a time when pressures on universities might discourage activities, such as trusteeship, that are in the interests of social science but not necessarily a trustee’s employer. The grants allow the trustees to maintain and develop necessary skills by engaging research and teaching assistants, attending academic conferences, and meeting other costs associated with their scholarship (including books and equipment); administrators in their departments manage the funds, making them available when necessary. The Foundation has considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on trustee payments and believes there are clear and significant advantages in paying the trustees these reasonable and affordable allowances. The Foundation may also pay any reasonable expenses that the trustees properly incur in connection with their attendance at meetings or otherwise in connection with their responsibilities in relation to the Foundation.

The Foundation has a chairperson who is responsible for communications and the organisation of the annual general meeting. The chair usually changes annually, and is elected at the AGM (ideally, alternating between different geographical regions). Sharad Chari served for 2020/21 and Jenny Pickerill will be serving for 2021/22.

The Foundation is exclusively responsible for establishing Antipode ’s editorial policy, defining the journal’s aims and scope, controlling content, and selecting, appointing and supervising the Editor in Chief, Editors, and International Advisory Board[3] to implement its editorial policy. The Foundation’s Executive Director is also the journal’s Managing Editor, overseeing Antipode ’s peer-review and copy-editing processes and the compilation of issues for publication.

Paul Chatterton completed his term as editor at the end of April 2013; Nik Heynen and Wendy Larner stepped down at the end of July 2013; and Vinay Gidwani completed his term at the end of April 2014. Sharad Chari joined the Editorial Collective in May 2012; Katherine McKittrick began editing in January 2013; and Jenny Pickerill and Nik

Theodore at the start of August 2013. Paul, Nik, Wendy and Vinay solicited statements of interest and CVs to identify prospective editors,[4] and made recommendations to the Foundation. Sharad, Katherine, Jenny and Nik were appointed by the Foundation for terms of up to five years (with no right of renewal); they were neither trustees nor employees of the Foundation, but signed memoranda of agreement that outlined their duties. The Editorial Collective met in London in February 2014 to discuss, among other things, Vinay’s replacement. They recommended Tariq Jazeel to the Foundation’s trustees, and subsequently Tariq was appointed; he joined the Editorial Collective at the start of May 2014.

As Sharad retired in April 2017, so Marion Werner (Department of Geography, University at Buffalo SUNY, USA) joined the team. Nik and the rest of the Editorial Collective recommended Marion to the Foundation’s trustees as Sharad’s replacement in late 2016, and he and Andy met her in early 2017 to discuss the role of editor. Given Jenny’s imminent departure, and the trustees’ resolution to appoint a sixth editor, the Editorial Collective held a series of meetings in late 2017 to discuss candidates. They made their recommendations to the trustees in early 2018 (which were unanimously approved), and when Jenny left at the end of April 2018, Dave Featherstone (School of Geographical and Earth Sciences, University of Glasgow, UK) and Kiran Asher (Women, Gender, Sexuality Studies, University of Massachusetts Amherst, UK) were poised to join. Katherine’s and Tariq’s departures initiated further discussion among the editors and between the editors and trustees in late 2018 and early 2019, which led to Alex Loftus (Department of Geography, King’s College London, UK) and Laura Barraclough (American Studies, Yale University, USA) joining the Collective in May 2019. In September 2019, Marion replaced Nik as Editor in Chief, and Stefan Ouma (Department of Geography, University of Bayreuth, Germany) joined the Collective as the sixth editor.

Marion will be leaving the Editorial Collective at the end of April 2022 (and will, we hope, be starting as a trustee in May!).[5] Given Dave’s and Kiran’s work on the Book Series, and Laura’s and Stefan’s lives outside Antipode , Alex will be taking up the reins then for

Antipode Foundation Ltd.–Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 30[th] April 2021

his final 24 months (i.e. May 2022–April 2024). He will be supported by Laura (and, indeed, the rest of the Collective) when needed, and all being well our next new starter (in May 2022) will take on the Editor-in-Chief duties when the two of them step down.

As the journal’s Managing Editor, Andy is responsible for the induction of new editors. They work closely with him, the rest of the Editorial Collective, and the trustees (some of whom are former editors and as such invaluable sources of experience or “institutional memory”); they also have access to more formal guidance including Wiley’s “Editor Resources”[6] and guidelines from the Committee on Publication Ethics and International Society of Managing and Technical Editors. The Foundation makes an annual grant of £3,910.09 (£3,852.31 in 2019/20; £3,937.46 in 2021/22) to each editor– £5,027.28 (£4,952.99 in 2019/20; £5,062.47 in 2021/22) for the Editor in Chief–to be paid into a restricted account administered by the organisation that employs them.[7] These grants serve similar purposes to, and are managed in the same way as, grants made to the universities employing the trustees. The editors make their own work arrangements, and at all times there must be an Editor in Chief who represents the other editors at the Foundation’s annual general meeting; the editors nominate one of their number for this role. Rather than a Foundation trustee, the Editor in Chief is a non-voting

participant/observer. The editors hold their own annual meeting to discuss, among other things, the state of play and editing practices, what “an Antipode paper” is and might be, their International Advisory Board, translation and outreach activities, the Lecture Series, AntipodeOnline.org, and the Book Series.

Risk management: The major risks to which the charity is exposed have been identified by the trustees. Their impact and likelihood have been assessed and procedures have been put in place to mitigate them. The document “Risk Management and Internal Controls” (which considers the governance, operational, financial, environmental/external, and

Antipode Foundation Ltd.–Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 30[th] April 2021

compliance risks the charity faces) is regularly referred to by the secretary and trustees during the year and reviewed at their annual general meeting in the light of relevant Charity Commission guidance. Regarding the journal, there are peer review and complaints handling policies in place,[8] enabling the Foundation and Antipode ’s editors to effectively deal with possible misconduct and ensure the integrity of the academic record.

The Foundation takes its role as an employer very seriously. Its reserves policy enables it to continue to employ its Executive Director if income were to fall dramatically, ensuring continuity of operations in the short term and allowing it to seek alternative sources of funding for the longer term. To review staff performance and discuss development needs, annual meetings between the Executive Director, the Foundation’s chair, and Antipode ’s Editor in Chief take place; achievements over the past year are reviewed, objectives for the coming year are set, and career aspirations and opportunities are discussed. The Executive Director’s job has been independently evaluated by the Universities of Bristol (2011) and Sheffield (2019) and situated on the UK higher education salary scale. The Foundation operates a defined contribution pension scheme.[9]

Since its inception in 2011, the Foundation has depended heavily on a single income source, namely, subscription revenues provided by or on behalf of readers of the journal Antipode . However, in recent years, open access publishing (where authors [or their institutions or funders] pay journals so-called “article publication charges” [or APCs] and access for readers is then free) has been growing and gaining government and researchfunder support around the world. Open access fees totalled £8,082 in 2018, £20,264 in 2019, and £48,409 in 2020. And while subscription revenue rose from 2018 to 2019 (from £295,347 to £307,790), this was due to favourable currency exchange rates, and the fall from 2019 to 2020 (from £307,790 to £276,792) is probably indicative of the longer-term trend. The Foundation’s trustees and journal’s editors continue to work with Wiley to monitor developments; notable developments in recent years include two so-called “readand-publish” or “transitional” agreements between Wiley and German[10] and UK[11] institutions. In both cases, consortia of institutions have negotiated an APC for each

Antipode Foundation Ltd.–Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 30[th] April 2021

10

journal (that is, the cost to publish an open access paper), creating a pot of APC funds for their researchers, and arranging access to all Wiley titles. Such agreements are gaining traction (Austria, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland have also made them, for example), which means journals’ income in future years will be a mix of “reading fees” (single-year “traditional”

subscriptions and multi-year access licence arrangements), “publishing fees” (authors with grants from funders that mandate open access paying an APC to make their papers free to download), and “read-and-publish fees”.

Going forward, journals must ensure that: [i] there’s a lot of top-quality content behind the paywall (which means reading fees); [ii] they attract articles from authors with grants from funders that mandate open access (which means publishing fees); and [iii] they attract articles from authors based at “top tier” institutions (that is, from authors based at institutions paying read-and-publish fees). To do so, they must have the ability to maximise quality content per issue/volume. More, our editors agree, doesn’t necessary mean worse (and Wiley are keen to emphasise that quality mustn’t fall), and in fact we could feasibly be publishing more per issue/volume than we currently do. We publish papers in a timely manner–and this is valued by our authors–but they sit there in a queue; it’s not long, to be sure, but we should shorten it if we can, which would be welcomed by our authors and put us further ahead of our “competitors”.

The Foundation’s Executive Director qua Managing Editor of Antipode holds monthly meetings with Wiley to discuss all this, and attends Wiley’s annual “Executive Seminar”–a one-day event for people who predominantly work in academic and scholarly societies and associations (“non-profit mission driven organisations focused on making a difference in the world”). These are excellent opportunities to network, learn, and share opinions that might impact the future of publishing. He is also a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics and the International Society of Managing and Technical Editors– both organisations offer guidelines and other resources to those in scholarly publishing.

The Foundation is fully compliant with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which was introduced in May 2018. Our transparency notice, which outlines how we use and protect the personal data of Antipode ’s authors and referees and those applying for Antipode Foundation grants and places at events we organise, can be read online.[12]

We have worked to mitigate the effects of Covid-19 over the last 18 months or so. The Editorial Collective have been holding monthly “Zoom” meetings since March 2020, not only to discuss submissions and publication, but also to practice care and mutual aid – offers of support and the equitable distribution of work are more important than ever. They also published two statements – one to institute a moratorium on reviewing new submissions from March to April 2020 to give referees a break,[13] and a follow-up to announce that the journal is (re)open for business and mindful of the needs of early-career researchers and those precariously employed to publish, and all authors and referees for understanding and accommodation in these trying times.[14] The Foundation’s trustees closed applications for the 2019/20 International Workshop Awards and Scholar-Activist Project Awards,[15] worked with 2018/19’s recipients to ensure their health and safety, and cancelled the 2020/21 round of Awards. The 2020 Lecture Series was suspended in he wake of the cancellation of the 2020 AAG, Political Ecology Network (POLLEN) and RGSIBG conferences, and the 2020 Institute for the Geographies of Justice was cancelled.[16] Virtual lectures were staged at the 2021 AAG and RGS-IBG conferences, and plans are underway to hold the Institute for the Geographies of Justice in mid-2022 (more on all this below). The in-person 2019/20 annual general meeting – which was to be held at the University of California, Berkeley on 8[th] and 9[th] June 2020 – was cancelled in response to travel restrictions. The trustees held a “Zoom” meeting and a number of email exchanges instead. Given the success of this, and continued travel restrictions, the trustees’ 2020/21 AGM was held virtually (again using Zoom, supported by email) on 9[th] August 2021. The Editorial Collective also replaced their in-person 2020 annual meeting with a virtual one.

Finally, regarding Brexit, we have been monitoring UK government advice, and are confident that the necessary steps have been taken to prepare for the new rules. The

trustees will continue to monitor the situation and act accordingly to reduce any adverse impact to the Foundation.

Objectives and Activities

The Foundation’s objects are outlined in its articles of association; it exists specifically for public benefit and the promotion and improvement of social scientific research, education and scholarship in the field of radical and critical geography. To this end it enables the pursuit and dissemination of valuable new knowledge that advances the field by:

In setting these aims and undertaking these strategies to achieve them, the Foundation’s trustees have carefully considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. The trustees regard any private benefit received by grant recipients and those participating in summer schools, etc. as incidental to the achievement of the Foundation’s objects.

Objectives

Radical/critical geography is a preeminent and vital part of the discipline of human geography in higher education in the UK, North America, the Antipodes, and South Africa, as well as Europe, Latin America, and South and East Asia. It is characterised, as some of our grant recipients put it, by “intellectual acuity, liveliness and pluralism”.[17] On one level,

Antipode Foundation Ltd.–Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 30[th] April 2021

14

there’s little between “radical geography” and “critical geography”; the differences are meaningless. “Radical” and “critical” are simply synonyms; some prefer the former, others the latter, and both signify politically left-of-centre, progressive work for justice and democracy. On another, though, the existence of two labels has significance. Since the midto-late 1960s the sub-discipline has expanded and pluralised, with an increasingly diverse set of Left geographers gaining legitimacy and positions of power in universities and the range of “valid” approaches widening from the 1980s and 1990s.[18] Antipode has always welcomed the infusion of new ideas and the shaking-up of old positions through dialogue and debate, never being committed to just one view of analysis or politics. We might say, borrowing our grant recipients’ words again, the journal’s pages have been “bound together by a shared no–rejection of the…status quo–and diverse yeses”.[19]

While radical/critical geography has changed considerably since the early days of Antipode , and is today more varied and vibrant than ever,[20] one thing has remained the same–its “engaged” nature. It’s “…[not] static and detached from what is going on in the world…[but] dynamic and profoundly influenced by events, struggles and politics beyond university life”.[21] It has engaged with them, learning from and speaking to myriad

individuals and groups, examining the worlds they cope with and their ways of responding to them. Neither despairing about domination and oppression nor naively hopeful about resistance and alternatives, radical/critical geography “…has come of age with movements for progressive political and social change”[22] as both participant in and observer of them. It’s rigorous and intellectually substantive–and, to be sure, uses its fair share of arcane language!–and nevertheless radical/critical geography is remarkably “grounded”, concerned with confronting the world as it is and enacting changes people want to see.

The Foundation exists to promote and improve this diverse and outward-looking field. The beneficiaries of its work are ultimately academics, students and the individuals and groups they work with who are able to apply the useful new knowledge it helps pursue and disseminate. The Foundation carries out nine main activities in order to achieve its objectives.

Activities

[1] Since 1969 Antipode: A Radical Journal of Geography has published innovative peer-reviewed papers that push at the boundaries of radical geographical thinking. Papers are rigorous and substantive in theoretical and empirical terms. Authors are encouraged to critique and challenge settled orthodoxies, while engaging the context of intellectual traditions and their particular trajectories. Papers put new research or critical analyses to work to contribute to strengthening a Left politics broadly defined. Now appearing six times a year and published by Wiley, Antipode offers some of the best and most provocative geographical work available today; work from both geographers and their fellow travellers; from scholars both eminent and emerging. Antipode also publishes short commentaries (or “Interventions”; these meditate on the state of radical practice and/or theory, cast a radical geographer’s eye over “live” events, or report strategies for change and forms of organisation producing more socially just and radically democratic life), book reviews and review symposia (like Interventions, these are online-only and open access, that is, freely available without a subscription),[23] and the Antipode Book Series (which publishes scholarship reflecting distinctive new developments in radical geographical research).[24] It is complemented by a companion website, AntipodeOnline.org

Access to the print and online[25] versions of Antipode is available to individuals, higher education institutions, libraries, and other research establishments with a subscription or licence. Over 6,500 libraries/institutions with either a single-year “traditional” subscription or a multi-year access license arrangement[26] had access to the very latest Antipode content in 2020; just under two-thirds of these were in North America and Europe. Over 6,500 additional libraries/institutions in the developing world also had either free or low-cost access through philanthropic initiatives. Finally, over 3,000 libraries had access to Antipode in 2020 through EBSCO databases that allow third-party access to embargoed (that is, at least one year old) content. The journal is catalogued in the ISSN Register (International Standard Serial Numbers 0066-4812 [print] and 1467-8330

[online]) and included in the major indices of social scientific publications including Clarivate Analytics Journal Citation Reports.

[2] Antipode Foundation International Workshop Awards are single-year grants of up to £10,000 available to groups of radical/critical geographers staging events (including conferences, workshops, seminar series and summer schools) that involve the exchange of ideas across disciplinary and sectoral boundaries and intra/international borders, and lead to the building of productive, durable relationships. They make capacity-building possible by enabling the development of a community of scholars.

Activists (of all kinds) and students as well as academics are welcome to apply, and applications are welcome from those based outside geography departments; sociologists, political scientists and many others can apply if their work contributes to radical/critical geographic conversations. Also, the trustees take care to call for proposals from historically under-represented groups, regions, countries and institutions. Applicants describe

planned activities and rationale, expected outcomes, and dissemination and legacy plans (including conference presentations, peer-reviewed publications and teaching), and outline a budget. Eligible costs may include delegates’ economy-class travel, accommodation and catering, and translation; the scheme is not intended to allow organisers to make a surplus from events. The grant must be held and administered by a host institution such as a university, and it is also expected that host institution facilities will be used to support events wherever possible.

Recipients of International Workshop Awards are announced on the Foundation’s website; they provide short reports to the trustees one year after receipt of the grant, outlining the ways in which research has been shared, developed and applied (and any problems that might have been encountered), and versions of these are made freely available on the Foundation’s website (the trustees also encourage photos and recordings of presentations, etc.).

[3] Antipode Foundation Scholar-Activist Project Awards are single-year grants of up to £10,000 intended to support collaborations between academics and students and nonacademic activists (from non-governmental organisations, think tanks, social movements, or community/grassroots organisations, among other places), including programmes of action-orientated and participatory research and publicly-focused forms of geographical investigation. They offer opportunities for scholars to relate to civil society and make mutually beneficial connections.

The trustees take care to call for proposals from historically under-represented groups, regions, countries and institutions.[27] Applicants describe planned activities and rationale, expected outcomes, and dissemination and legacy plans (including conference presentations, peer-reviewed publications and teaching), and outline a budget. The grant must be held and administered by a host institution such as a university, and it is also expected that host institution facilities will be used to support projects wherever possible. The grant covers directly incurred costs only, including investigator costs where these help further our charitable mission; the Foundation will consider paying postgraduate research assistant and community researcher costs, but not, under normal circumstances, the cost of university employees.

Recipients of Scholar-Activist Project Awards are announced on the Foundation’s website; they provide short reports to the trustees one year after receipt of the grant, outlining the nature of the cooperation/co-enquiry and the mutual, lasting benefits (and any problems that might have been encountered), and versions of these are made freely available on the Foundation’s website (the trustees encourage photos and video also).

The Foundation works as closely as possible with grant recipients, maintaining contact as workshops/projects come together, publicising whenever possible (featuring press releases, working papers, audio-visual materials, and the like on AntipodeOnline.org) and

following the “afterlives” of events. Starting with 2015/16’s cohort, all IWA and S-APA recipients will also be invited to apply for “follow-on” funding after 24 months. Since 2017/18, there has been a single £10,000 grant made each year; all Awards should have implications for praxis, and this grant is intended to support the most innovative and creative dissemination, enable outcomes to be further developed so their potential can be fully realised, and build durable legacies. Such a “proof of concept” fund should also encourage the highest possible level of engagement with our grant recipients by incentivising communication about ongoing workshops/projects.

[4] 2020/21 saw the launch of the Antipode Foundation’s “Right to the Discipline” grants .[28] Notwithstanding the efforts of many brilliant, committed – and often unrecognised – scholars, Geography has largely failed, and in many cases even resisted, calls within its own ranks to acknowledge the influence of racism, sexism,

heteronormativity, ableism, classism, and related hatreds, on the making and practices of the field. Governmental and institutional responses to Covid-19 have served to greatly exacerbate the resultant inequities and exclusions, exposing informalised workers and graduate students to greater job insecurity, creating deeply unequal risks for different social groups, while sharpening racialised and gendered divisions of labour. As a longer term crisis comes together with a more recent one, we find ourselves in a new conjunctural moment, one that has also severely curtailed many of the initiatives supported by, and giving life to, the Antipode community (our International Workshop and Scholar-Activist Project Awards, for example, were cancelled in 2020/21). Responding to this moment, we noted in our Conjunctural Insurrections section that now, more than ever, we need to “amplify the voices of those often unheard and invisibilised in politics, daily life and academic discourse”.[29] As protests beyond the discipline (Black Lives Matter, Speak Her Name, #MeToo, LGBTQIA+ revolutions, Indigenous movements, immigrant advocacy, ecological well-being, to mention a few) continue to expose the ongoing legacies of racist,

Antipode Foundation Ltd.–Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 30[th] April 2021

patriarchal, heteronormative, and ableist exclusions within our field we are therefore issuing a call for creative change.

Acknowledging that too many are still “outside the project”,[30] and that Covid-19 has served to further sharpen those exclusionary boundaries, this call seeks to hear the cries, and amplify the demands, from those seeking thoroughgoing change in classrooms, academic workplaces, conferences, job interviews, journals, research funders, and myriad other sites where unsustainable demands and problematic practices exist (indeed, flourish), practices exacerbated in the current moment. This is a call intended to support those struggling for a “right to the discipline”.

We are seeking proposals for research and writing, as well as less traditional scholarly forms, that might find a home in the pages of Antipode or on AntipodeOnline.org, the journal’s companion website. Such work will make a significant contribution towards transforming radical/critical geography into something more diverse, equitable and inclusive, making space for the voices of silenced or unheard struggles and emerging movements, pushing debates forward in novel ways or taking discussions in new directions. We look for proposals that speak to ongoing conversations in the field, but, as representatives of an undisciplined discipline, we also look for proposals that stray beyond established borders (of all kinds) and that think creatively about geography’s lines of descent and possible futures to take on these provocations in bold and compelling ways through the current conjuncture.

Our Scholar-Activist Project Awards and International Workshop Awards have in previous years supported the exchange of ideas across disciplinary boundaries and beyond the confines of the academy, building meaningful relationships and productive partnerships: these ambitions must today reckon with a fast-changing present and radically uncertain future in which the freedom to go out and make connections cannot be taken for granted. The Awards are not available in 2020/21: something smaller, more creative and, perhaps, revolutionary is needed in this moment, and we need to be cognisant of the ways in which theses freedoms have always been unevenly distributed.

Antipode Foundation Ltd.–Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 30[th] April 2021

Indeed, while the lucky few might find themselves awash with unspent travel funds, fewer and fewer resources are actually available for research and writing and, perhaps more importantly in this moment, for the social reproduction and collective care that make research and writing possible. The revolution we have in mind simply must be funded.

The Antipode Foundation expects to allocate each initiative up to £10,000 (ten thousand pounds sterling, or its equivalent in the awardee’s currency of choice) but the amounts of its grants will vary according to the proposed initiative, and may be used to address existing obstacles to the applicant’s research and publication in innovative ways (the living costs of those un/underemployed, in precarious positions, and/or with care responsibilities, for example, are eligible for funding). This is a modest sum but one we hope will nevertheless enable critical and creative work. The distribution of funds will be as equitable as possible, with other prospective resources and the nature of the proposed initiative being taken into consideration. The Antipode Foundation will explicitly privilege early-career researchers/non-tenure-track applicants and applicants from historically under-represented groups, regions, countries and institutions in its decision-making processes. Successful applicants will work with Antipode ’s Editorial Collective and/or the Foundation’s trustees to prepare their work for peer review and, if successful, publication as an open-access article in the journal or on the website, as appropriate.

Anyone can apply for a grant, including academics and students, and activists of all kinds. Applications will be considered by a panel of trustees of the Antipode Foundation and editors of Antipode , and all applicants will be notified of the results. Unfortunately, we cannot give detailed feedback to unsuccessful applicants. Funded work should be submitted with 12 months of receipt of a grant, unless a later date is approved at the time, and the support of the Antipode Foundation should be acknowledged.

[5] The Antipode Foundation is committed to a radical praxis of internationalism. Our programmes – including Right to the Discipline grants, Scholar-Activist Project Awards, and International Workshop Awards – explicitly support activities that push the

boundaries of radical geography in a variety of ways. Together with our Institute for the Geographies of Justice and our sponsored lectures in the global South,[31] we seek to amplify the work of scholars and activists doing radical geographies in contexts, forms, and outputs that are often unrecognised in mainstream, Anglo-centered scholarly outlets. Our Translation and Outreach programme is part of this aim.

To facilitate engagement with non-Anglo scholarship – traversing some of the barriers between language communities, enabling hitherto under-represented groups, regions, countries and institutions to enrich conversations and debates in Antipode , and opening all of the Foundation’s activities to the widest possible group of beneficiaries – Antipode ’s Editorial Collective seeks proposals from authors, translators and editors for translation and outreach in the following categories:

Whether new or already published, we’re looking for important papers that have contributed to theory and/or had implications for praxis at a certain time. Papers are handled in much the same way as English essays; the advice of the International Advisory Board and other expert referees is sought, revisions are requested where necessary, and if they are sufficient the Editorial Collective approaches the Foundation with a request for funds. Its trustees will only approve the translation of essays that have been subject to proper peer review and accepted by the Editorial Collective. Translated papers are published with translator’s/editor’s notes where necessary; these are intended to “situate” them, outlining their meaning and significance to the time and place in which they were originally published, and explaining any keywords less well known to Anglophone readers.

While they are focused on translating work to English for publication in Antipode and on AntipodeOnline.org, through the Foundation the editors have the right to grant ad hoc permissions to third parties to re-use extracts from the journal and to waive any permission fees (charged by Wiley) for such re-use.[33] Such permissions are granted a number of times each year to allow the translation from English of Antipode essays and their publication by not-for-profit organisations.

[6] The Foundation supports the internationalisation efforts of the International Conference of Critical Geography (ICCG) by providing travel bursaries and/or participation fees for graduate students, early-career researchers and independent scholars. The ICCG intends to facilitate constructive debates and collaborative projects and to build connections among critical geographers and other scholars and activists

worldwide. It took place in Greece in 2019, Palestine in 2015, Germany in 2011, India in 2007, Mexico 2005, Hungary 2002, South Korea 2000, and in Canada in 1997.

The Foundation makes £5,000 available for the conference organisers, the steering committee of the International Critical Geography Group (ICGG),[34] to distribute in the form of individual grants; applicants from outside Europe and North America, those underrepresented in the academy, and those without paid work or in precarious employment are prioritised. The ICGG steering committee considers each applicant’s proposed participation, attainment and ability, and access to required resources. The funds awarded cover travel and/or participation only and are intended to increase the diversity of those presenting papers and chairing sessions.

[7] The Foundation runs a lecture series , sponsoring sessions at the annual meetings of the American Association of Geographers (AAG)[35] and Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers) (RGS-IBG).[36] These annual international conferences are major events attracting thousands of delegates, and are widely seen as vital venues for the exchange of cutting-edge ideas. Both charge registration/participation fees on a sliding scale, with substantial discounts available for students, retirees and those on a low income.

The trustees invite presenters (suggested by the editors) who represent both the political commitment and intellectual integrity that characterise the sort of work that appears in Antipode and that the Foundation seeks to support. The Foundation covers the travel and accommodation costs of the speakers and Wiley films the lectures – making them freely available online[37 ] – and provides refreshments. Speakers might also submit essays to be peer-reviewed and, if successful, published in Antipode. The lectures are inspiring and often provocative presentations from leading scholars, and also represent an excellent opportunity for the trustees to raise the profile of the Foundation, communicate its work to a wide audience, and in doing so maintain a good relationship with beneficiaries.

From 2018/19, the Lecture Series has been going on the road with a third lecture each year. The plan is to reach out beyond the US and UK, attending a lesser-known event to maximise the diversity of those contributing to our community, and facilitate engagement with scholarship from hitherto under-represented groups, regions, countries and institutions to enrich conversations and debates in Antipode .

[8] The biennial Institute for the Geographies of Justice (IGJ) is a week-long

opportunity for doctoral students, postdoctoral researchers, and recently-appointed faculty (normally within three years of appointment) to engage leading-edge theoretical, methodological, and research-practice issues in the field of radical/critical geography and social justice, along with a range of associated professional and career-development matters. These international meetings are specifically designed to meet the needs of new scholars, taking the form of intensive, interactive workshops for around 25 participants and including facilitated discussion groups and debates, training and skills-development modules, and plenary sessions lead by established scholars. They have taken place in the US (in Athens, Georgia, in 2007 and 2011), the UK (in Manchester in 2009), South Africa (in Durban in 2013 and Johannesburg in 2015), Canada (in Montréal, Québec, in 2017), and Mexico (in Mexico City in 2019).[38]

The Foundation’s trustees and journal’s editors are joined by colleagues from around the world in facilitating/leading the elements of the week. Participants are required to pay a participation fee of US$200 for doctoral students and US$250 for junior faculty and postdoctoral researchers; this fee is a contribution towards accommodation, some meals, and an end-of-week reception. The Foundation covers the remainder of the costs, spending up to £25,000 on each Institute. Travel bursaries are available, and are distributed as equitably as possible. Applicants are asked to outline their educational and employment histories, publication record, research interests and current project(s), and career plans and ambitions. Participants are encouraged to submit jointly authored post-

Institute reports for publication either in Antipode (the online version of the essay is made open access) or on AntipodeOnline.org[39]

[9] The journal Antipode celebrated its 50[th] anniversary in 2019, and one of the ways in which we marked the event was the launch of the Antipode Film Project . Starting with the production of three films, we want to create a series of publicly accessible online documentaries presenting some of radical geography’s leading thinkers. Speaking to undergraduate students both within and beyond the discipline, as well as an interested public outside the university, we hope these pedagogical films will offer cutting-edge resources for interpreting and changing our world.

The films are short, engaging interventions from scholars “on location”, that is, in a place where they work, that their work speaks to or illuminates in some way. Each is of the highest quality and accompanied by written materials from the featured speaker offering a way in to their research and related work. They will be made available in perpetuity through our websites, AntipodeOnline.org and Wiley Online Library.

Speakers were invited by the trustees of the Antipode Foundation to participate in the project, working with directors over the course of a day or two to talk about their research and its implications for praxis. Upon signing a memorandum of agreement with the Foundation, each director (all geographers with extensive filmmaking experience) received a budget of £10,000 to produce a 9-11 minute film. These will form a distinctive archive, preserved for teachers, researchers, and anyone with an interest in the history, present condition, and future directions of critical geography.

Grantmaking policies: In making these policies, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on conflicts of interest; policies are reviewed at each annual trustees’ meeting. When assessing applications for grants they act in good faith and

Antipode Foundation Ltd.–Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 30[th] April 2021

26

recuse themselves where necessary to prevent negative impacts on reputation and the possibility of the trustees benefiting from the charity. They withdraw from decisionmaking processes involving applications for funding from departmental colleagues, former students, research collaborators, and the like; where there is any doubt about the “strength” of the connection, the trustees err on the side of caution and stand down.

While the trustees encourage applications from the developing world and/or from those traditionally marginalised in the academy (historically under-represented groups, regions, countries and institutions), the opportunity to benefit is not unreasonably restricted. Nationality, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, religion, and age are not determinants of success; the trustees consider the scientific merits of each workshop, project, etc. and applicants’ ability and attainment or, in the case of graduate students, potential to develop as scholars, while trying to distribute funds as equitably as possible by taking resources available to applicants into consideration.

Checks are performed on the integrity of applicants, both individuals and the institutions holding and administering the funds. The latter are asked to confirm the applicant’s position in/relationship with the institution, that the applicant has considered the institution’s research ethics guidelines, that the applicant has considered the

institution’s health and safety rules, that there are appropriate insurances in place, that the provision of additional support is in place in the form of, but not exclusively limited to, office space, computing and related equipment and support, and library facilities, and that the institution will manage the financial arrangements for the grant and allow its portability in the event that this is necessary and approved by the Foundation.

Achievements and Performance

[1] The 52[nd] volume of the journal Antipode was published in 2020. Its six issues contained, across 1,883 pages, a total of 90 papers. As well as Symposia on “Re-Politicizing Poverty: Relational Re-conceptualizations of Impoverishment”,[40] “The Social Life of Robots: The Politics of Algorithms, Governance, and Sovereignty”,[41] and “The Political Forest in the Era of Green Neoliberalism”,[42] it includes myriad papers casting light on some of most pressing issues of our time, bringing critical geographical insights to bear on places all over the globe. All book reviews in our online repository, Wiley Online Library, are now freely available, and from January 2013 we stopped publishing reviews in the journal. They have migrated to AntipodeOnline.org: this has allowed us to feature not only more reviews, but also more substantive reviews, more quickly. Reviews are now commissioned and edited by Andy Kent.[43]

We received a good number of submissions for peer-review in 2020: 461 papers (299 of which were new submissions and 162 were re-submissions, that is, papers that had been previously submitted and refereed and then revised and re-submitted). To put this in context, from 2000 to 2003 the journal received approximately 50-60 papers per year; this rose to just over 100 by 2005, approximately 170-180 by 2007, and just under 260 by 2009; in both 2010 and 2011 we received 244 submissions, 253 in 2012, 295 in 2013, 330 in 2014, 368 in 2015, 366 in 2016, 343 in 2017, 430 in 2018 and 389 in 2019.

Year

On the geography of all this Geography, very little changed from 2019: around a quarter of all submissions (originals and revisions) came from the UK; around a quarter from the US; 11% from Europe (that is, European countries with read-and-publish/transitional deals: Austria, Finland, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden); and 6% from Canada. 95 papers were accepted in 2020, giving a healthy rejection rate of 68% (the rejection rates in 2018 and 2017 were higher [76% and 75%], while 2019’s and 2016’s were similar [69% and 65% – and, indeed, similar to that in the years 2010-2015]).

Given widespread concerns about the falling number of women participating in journal publishing in the time of Covid-19, together with Wiley we have been monitoring the gender of those submitting to, publishing in, and reviewing for the journal. In 2019, 40% of those submitting to, 45% of those publishing in, and 44% of those reviewing for Antipode were identified by an assessor as female (it is not known how the individuals selfidentify; this is, to be sure, a relatively blunt tool). In 2020, 39% of those who have

29

submitted to, 46% of those accepted for publication in, and 44% of those who have reviewed for Antipode were identified as female. We will continue to monitor this, and do all we can to facilitate submitting, publishing and reviewing for all.

We’re confident the journal remains popular, and its papers are being read and used in further research. Antipode ’s “impact factor”[44] has fluctuated in recent years: it rose from 2.150 in 2011 to 2.430 in 2012; fell to 1.885 in 2013; rose to 2.104 in 2014; fell to 1.915 in 2015; rose to 2.413 in 2016; and rose again to 3.108 in 2017. This rise continued in 2018 to 3.289, before a fall to 2.934 in 2019, which meant a move from 13[th] of 83 to 21[st] of 84 in the Clarivate Analytics Journal Citation Reports ranking of Geography journals. We were delighted to learn that our impact factor rose to 5.041 in 2020, placing Antipode 9[th] of 85 in the ranking. Our authors’ research on the idea of “transformation” in sustainability discourse, on the global “new municipalist” movement, on abolitionist climate justice, on the financialisation of land and housing, on humanitarianism in the Mediterranean Sea, on Black geographies, on decolonial feminism in Latin America, and on much besides, has clearly spoken to colleagues, who have engaged with it in their own scholarship.

All this said, each year we note that the impact factor isn’t the only metric that matters to authors – we have an efficient and effective peer-review process (authors wait just three or four months for a decision), and the time from acceptance of a paper to publication in an issue of the journal is currently a respectable five months (papers appear online first[45] within a month or so) – and in recent years we’ve been monitoring “Altmetrics” or article level metrics also. An article’s Altmetric score depends on the quantity and quality of the attention it receives online. It is derived from: the volume of mentions (through social networks like Twitter and Facebook, on websites and blogs, and in the mainstream media and public policy documents); the sources of mentions (public policy documents, for example, suggest research is being engaged with); and the authors of mentions (experts and practitioners are considered influential).[46] 93% of Antipode papers had Altmetric scores in 2020 – almost all of our papers were mentioned online! The two highest scoring papers (on critical cartography and Black geographies, and racial

30

capitalism, abolition and reparations) were mentioned in February 2021 in the Conversation – a popular outlet for work with both “academic rigour” and “journalistic flair”.[47] The journal’s utilisation is also evident when one looks at the number of downloads of Antipode papers from Wiley Online Library (downloads from WOL increased by 19.7% in 2020, compared with an increase of 14.1% across all Wiley geography journals). And, last but not least, while the number of single-year “traditional” subscriptions continues to fall as multi-year access licence arrangements and open access publishing become the new normal, revenue has been steady (despite challenging library markets).

There are currently four titles in development for the Antipode Book Series: Maite Conde’s Manifesting Democracy? Urban Protests and the Politics of Representation in Brazil post-2013 ; Claudia Fonseca Alfaro’s Producing Mayaland: Colonial Legacies, Urbanisation, and the Unfolding of Global Capitalism ; Linda Peake, Elsa Koleth, Gökbörü Sarp Tanyildiz, Rajyashree N. Reddy and darren patrick/dp’s A Feminist Urban Theory For Our Time: Rethinking Social Reproduction and the Urban ; and Jenny Pickerill, Peter Kraftl and Sophie Hadfield-Hill’s Eco-Communities: Living Together Differently . We’re excited about seeing Peake et al.’s A Feminist Urban Theory For Our Time published in summer 2021, and are looking forward to seeing the others in due course. After years of sterling service, Sharad Chari and Vinay Gidwani passed the mantle of the Book Series to Nik Theodore in early 2020. Nik kept the show on the road until Dave Featherstone and, later, Kiran Asher, took responsibility as editors. Our sincere thanks to Nik for stepping up when we need him. Dave and Kiran have re-written the description of the Series/invitation to authors,[48] and are currently working on a re-branding (creating a strong visual identity) and series of meet-the-editors sessions to attract new authors.

After their successful in-person annual meetings at the Universitat de Barcelona in November 2018 and the City University of New York Graduate Center in October 2019, it was with heavy hearts that the Editorial Collective decided to meet virtually in October 2020. In the event, two two-hour Zoom meetings were incredibly productive. The time was spent discussing the present condition and future of the journal and engaging in some

Antipode Foundation Ltd.–Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 30[th] April 2021

31

team-building. Among other things, the editors covered their workload and peer review/decision making practices, the impact factor and Altmetrics, turnaround times from submission to decision and from acceptance to publication, special issues and symposia, the size and shape of issues and writing blurbs for each new issue in 2020 and 2021,[49] future Lecture Series events, the Book Series editors, translation and outreach initiatives, and our guidelines for authors.

The guidelines were updated in early 2021 to clearly outline what editors look for in new submissions,[50] and as we work towards our goal of mentoring new researchers to maximise the diversity of those submitting to and publishing in the journal, we held a “meet-the-editors” workshop for those who attended the 2017 Montréal, 2019 Mexico City, and 2020/21 Barcelona IGJs. 45 graduate students and early-career/non-tenure-track researchers joined us on Zoom for a 90-minute session to discuss the publishing process in general and what an Antipode paper looks like more specifically. This consisted of 60 minutes of presentations and Q&A (with each editor discussing a different stage of the publishing process), then 30 minutes+ for six breakout groups. These breakout groups brought together people working in similar areas, and were a great networking opportunity.

The Editorial Collective also invited members of their International Advisory Board to attend a separate meeting regarding translation and outreach. Three broad areas of work to be investigated throughout 2021/22 were identified: first, revising the existing call for proposals to inspire more interest (including proposals of shorter essays for AntipodeOnline.org and reviews of non-English books, as well as journal papers “proper”; second, exploring the possibility of collaborating with other journals on specific translation or multi-lingual projects; and third, developing more tools for outreach and mentorship in order to increase publications from scholars based in global South institutions.

Finally, the editors and trustees believe that strong peer reviewing is perhaps the single most important element in ensuring the quality and integrity of papers in Antipode . Our commitment to publishing the best possible papers – writing that is politically-

engaged, timely and passionate, and done with theoretical and empirical rigour – would falter were it not for the voluntary labour of our referees. We received more submissions and published more papers than ever in 2020/21, and without our community of dedicated, generous reviewers – over 600 of them this year – none of this would be possible. They’ve committed inordinate amounts of time and energy to the work of unknown colleagues, and each one of them has done so at an incredibly trying time. Capacity has been limited everywhere in this pandemic year, and yet we’ve witnessed countless acts of generosity and goodwill. We’d like to sincerely thank our referees again for all their labours.

[2] After launching calls for applications for the International Workshop Awards in October 2019 on the Foundation’s website[51] and a number of electronic mailing lists used by radical/critical geographers, in response to emerging government advice regarding Covid-19 and suites of measures taken to deal with it, in March 2020 the trustees decided to cancel the 2019/20 round of Awards.[52] The journal and Foundation seek to promote and advance collaboration wherever possible. Since 2011, we have sought to support the exchange of ideas across disciplinary boundaries and beyond the confines of the academy, building meaningful relationships and productive partnerships. These ambitions must today reckon with a fast-changing present and radically uncertain future in which the freedom to go out and make connections cannot be taken for granted. Given the pandemic’s persistence, the 2020/21 round of Awards was also cancelled.

We’ve been in (virtual) contact with 2018/19’s grant recipients to check in and see what, if anything, we can do to secure the future of their workshops. Many are re-working their plans, and have been asked to inform us if the actual workshop taking shape is significantly different from the one proposed to and approved by the Foundation’s trustees.

[i] “Beyond Extraction: A Counter-Conference in the Heart of Extractive Capital” – Devin Holterman (Beyond Extraction / York University), Caren Weisbart (Mining Injustice Solidarity Network) and Christopher Alton (Graphe / University of Toronto) – £10,000.00 awarded September 2019

The “counter-conference” took place from 27[th] February to 4[th] March 2020 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Consisting of a number events around the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada meeting, participants sought to “read, map, reveal, and counter extractive corporate-state power” though scholar-activist discussions, public talks, research and cartography workshops, and rallies and artistic interventions, among other happenings.

by registering with the Directory of Open Access Journals, installing Open Journal Systems software for the management of peer-reviewed articles, and creating Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for all articles. This was approved, and the RHJ Editorial Collective plan to complete the upgrades and report to the Antipode Foundation before the end of 2021.

[iii] “Fund SUNY Now! Pushing Back Against Austerity in Public Higher Education” – César Barros, Kiersten Greene, Stephen Pampinella and Melissa Yang Rock (United University Professionals / Radical University Professionals / SUNY New Paltz) – £10,000.00 awarded in September 2019

“Austerity University” took place between 6[th] and 7[th] March 2020 in New Paltz, New York, USA. Creating a “space for educators, scholars, students, workers, and community members to discuss the problems associated with state and federal divestment from our public colleges and universities”, the organisers produced video testimonials, staged art displays, held panel and paper sessions, arranged keynote presentations, and facilitated research/action workshops (https://www.austerityuniversity.org/conference-program-pdf).

[iv] “School for Future Urbanists: Towards Eco-Equity City Region” – Elisa Sutanudjaja (Rujak Center for Urban Studies), Dian Tri Irawaty (University of California, Los Angeles) and Guntoro (Urban Poor Consortium, Jakarta) – £10,000.00 awarded in September 2019

The original workshop was planned for 23[rd] March–18[th] April 2020; with impressive speed, a different event, “Cities During and Post Covid-19 Pandemic”, was organised and held 27[th] April–7[th] May. Given Jakarta’s work from home policy, events were conducted online, which allowed the organisers to include more participants

[ii] “Pay the Rent: Re-envisioning and re-forming gentrified landscapes in Aboriginal Sydney” – Naama Blatman-Thomas and Dallas Rogers (University of Sydney) and Joel Sherwood Spring and Genevieve Zoe Murray (Future Method Studio) – £10,000.00 awarded in January 2020

Indigenous-led work, both traditional academic research and more creative forms with Future Method Studio (https://futuremethod.com.au/), to reach out to Sydney’s non-Indigenous business community regarding gentrification, cultural appropriation and the erasure of Aboriginal life, and reparations had been put on hold. The team were, in May 2020, working on a new set of questions in response to novel business practices emerging in the time of Covid-19. The Foundation were happy to grant the time it takes to make sense of the current situation and (re)start the project. Unfortunately, by October 2020 the team decided to draw a line under the project as planned: in-person community engagement simply wasn’t feasible. Naama and Dallas are currently sketching out plans for a not unrelated project (starting in early 2022) working with an Aboriginal Land Council on the meaning and significance of urban decolonisation at a time of tremendous urban growth and investment in New South Wales. Planned outputs include a number of journal articles, a book manuscript, work with Indigenous artists at the “Powerhouse” (https://www.maas.museum/), and policy submissions to local government.

[iii] “Jackson People’s School” – Caroline Sage Ponder (Florida State University), Willie Wright (Rutgers University), Noel Didla (Office of the Mayor, Jackson, MS and Malcolm X Grassroots Movement) and Akil Bakari (Malcolm X Grassroots Movement) – £10,000.00 awarded in April 2020

After concluding that Jackson Public Schools was not the best partner for the project, the organisers began working with a local Boys and Girls Club, opening the “Jackson People’s School” in Spring 2020. Activities thus far include after-school and weekend book clubs, and discussions with veterans of the Civil Rights Movement. The temporary closure of public schools and the club necessitated a move to online communication, including newsletters (which offer assistance to those applying for colleges and universities, such as information on scholarships and questions of race in predominantly white institutions). In Summer 2020, Sage and Willie sought a no-cost extension (which was granted), giving to them a further 12 months in which to establish the Jackson People’s School. This has involved working with community partners, Mississippi Votes, on youth civic engagement in the context of a chronically underdeveloped city struggling to respond to crises (including Covid and climate change). They are currently preparing for publication a collection of essays on anti-racist futures.

[iv] “The Prison Law Archive: Recovering a lost history of anti-prison struggle in California” – Yusef Omowale (Southern California Library), Catherine Campbell (Fresno, CA), Stephen Jones (The Graduate Center, CUNY) and Jessie Speer (Queen Mary University of London) – £10,000.00 awarded in September 2019

Before travel restrictions related to Covid-19, Stephen and Jessie were able to transfer the histories of anti-prison legal activism in California to the Southern California Library, separate confidential documents from those that can be made

public, and structure the collection. Though the Library remained closed to the public, the digitisation of documents (some suitably redacted, following legal advice) could begin in 2021, and will continue throughout 2022. The team have published a peer-reviewed paper about the project,[55] and are planning to open the archive in early 2023. It will be advertised in Prison Legal News , among other publications, and be accompanied by a digital exhibition, which will be available to imprisoned people with internet access.

As the third annual round of “follow-on” funding was cancelled in 2019/20, so the fourth round was cancelled in 2020/21. Before Covid-19, 24 months after receipt of their grants IWA and S-APA cohorts were invited to apply for a single £10,000 grant. All Awards should have implications for praxis, and this “proof of concept” grant was intended to support the most innovative and creative dissemination, enable outcomes to be further developed so their potential can be fully realised, and build durable legacies.[56]

Given that so many of 2018/19’s International Workshops and Scholar-Activist Projects have been severely disrupted, we contacted the grant recipients to inform them that we wouldn’t be offering follow-on funding this year. As can be seen above, while some of the cohort managed to carry out their plans, many haven’t yet, and it would not be fair to open the competition for funds while they’re still (re)working. Virus-permitting, we’ll be offering follow-on funds next year. In the meantime, we maintain contact with the grant recipients, and are happy to help in any way that we can to make their workshops and projects a success.

[4] A call for proposals for Antipode Foundation “Right to the Discipline” grants was launched in September 2020 on the Foundation’s website[57] and a number of electronic mailing lists used by radical/critical geographers. Applicants were asked to submit a five-

page application outlining: the title of the work and details of its creator(s) (name[s], education and employment history, current position, department and institution/organisation, city, zip/postcode and country, phone number and e-mail address, and publications, presentations, public scholarship, creative work, etc.); the work itself and how it reflects Antipode ’s values and parameters;[58] and the budget (how much money is needed, how they intend to spend it, and what co-funding has been secured). The deadline for applications was the end of February 2021, by which point the Foundation’s Executive Director had received 92 applications (36 came from North America, 17 from the UK, 15 from Europe, 12 from Latin America, 4 from Asia, 4 from the Antipodes, 3 from Africa, and 1 from the Middle East).

Given work and other commitments, Paul, Vinay and Melissa, and Kiran, Laura, Dave and Marion, were not available to read and comment on the applications; Sharad, Tariq, Katherine, Jenny and Nik, and Alex and Stefan, agreed to join Andy is taking the task on. (The editors were invited to assess alongside the trustees, given the nature of the grants: successful applicants will be expected to work with the former to prepare their work for peer review and, if successful, publication as an open-access article in the journal or on the website, as appropriate.) In March, the 92 applications were split into four batches – one sent to Sharad and Katherine, one to Alex and Jenny, one to Nik and Andy, and one to Tariq and Stefan. Each assessor gave their 23 applications a score between 1 and 10, and added comments about their “stand-out” proposals. In April, Andy used the eight sets of scores to create a shortlist of 24 proposals, from which each assessor selected a top-ten. These lists were compiled to create the final ten, which were then discussed by the eight assessors, and finally approved by all eight trustees and six editors:

All applicants were notified of the results (and a public announcement was made),[59] and the ten grants will be made in due course.

[5] Towards the end of 2020/21, Antipode ’s Editorial Collective were working on a relaunch of the Foundation’s Translation and Outreach programme. The publication in January 2021 of Christen Smith, Archie Davies and Bethânia Gomes’s excellent translation of and introduction to the work of the influential Black Brazilian thinker and activist Beatriz Nascimento (1942–1995), “In Front of the World”: Translating Beatriz Nascimento,[60] had acted as a spur to reflection on the past, present, and possible futures of the translation and outreach programme. The Editorial Collective invited members of their International Advisory Board to a discussion of how Antipode can best utilise its resources to advance its “internationalising” effort. Many Board members have experience working in, and/or with colleagues from, different countries, and some have connections to journals publishing translated and/or non-English work; there are undoubtedly invaluable lessons to be learnt. Issues discussed included introducing the journal to, and soliciting submission from, places where it isn’t well known; mentoring early-career researchers in the global South through writing, submission/review and translation; collaborating with

Antipode Foundation Ltd.–Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 30[th] April 2021

other journals on projects; and refreshing the call for proposals.[61] All being well, we will have more to say about all this in 2021/22.

[6] There was no International Conference of Critical Geography in 2020/21. When the ninth ICCG is announced, the trustees will reach out to the organisers with an offer of support.

[7] The year 2020/21 has seen the Foundation sponsoring one lecture :

Antipode Foundation Ltd.–Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 30[th] April 2021

44

While the RGS-IBG and AAG meetings are well established and much anticipated, following our successful trips to Delhi in 2019[63] and Auckland in 2018[64] we hope to one day resume travel to lesser-known international conferences to maximise the diversity of those contributing to our community, and facilitate engagement with scholarship from hitherto under-represented groups, regions, countries and institutions to enrich conversations and debates in Antipode .

Films of many of our Lecture Series events are available online[65] and “virtual issues” of Antipode are produced to mark the lectures. We pull from the digital archive a good number of papers speaking to the themes of our speakers’ lectures and their work more generally, making them freely available for 12 months. We also encourage speakers to submit written versions of their presentations for review and, if successful, publication in Antipode ; these articles are made freely available for all to download and read.

[8] As we outlined last year, the 8[th] Institute for the Geographies of Justice was to take place in Barcelona, Spain, 15[th] –19[th] June 2020. Unfortunately, the organising committee were forced to make the difficult decision of cancelling the Institute in March 2020.[66] As mentioned above, we have maintained contact with the 25 invitees, and in June 2021 we were delighted to invite them to add an event to their diaries: virus-permitting, we will be convening IGJ8 in Barcelona from 13[th] to 17[th] June 2022!

We also outlined last year that since stepping down as a trustee at the end of April 2020, the mastermind of all eight IGJs, Nik Heynen, has been working with Marion Werner ( Antipode ’s editor-in-chief) and Kate Derickson (University of Minnesota),[67] preparing to hand the reins to them. Kate was one of the facilitators in Mexico City in 2019, and both she and Marion were participants at the very first IGJ in Athens in 2007. Nik and the trustees are confident that they’ll do wonderful work taking the IGJ forward, starting with no.9 in 2023.

Last year we mentioned a proposal that came out of the Montréal IGJ in 2017 from seven of the participants, KT Bender, Allison Guess, Alex Moulton, Darren Patrick, Akira Drake Rodriguez, Priscilla Vaz and Brian Williams. The group were seeking a grant to fund the production of “AntiPod: A Radical Geography Podcast”. Their plan was to create a pilot that would complement the journal (discussing and disseminating new work, engaging with a wider scholar-activist audience, and including interviews/conversations, news items and creative matter), which, if successful, would lead to further episodes/a season, for which they’d request extra funds (equipment and experience, it was hoped, could be passed from IGJ cohort to IGJ cohort in future years). The Foundation supported the idea and made the grant; the production team met at the 2018 AAG annual meeting in April to begin work, and their pilot was presented at the Mexico City IGJ in 2019.

This was a resounding success, and the team sent a second proposal later in 2019, seeking another grant to produce Season 1 (costs included software, a production assistant, and a retreat for the team). Th grant was made, and thus far three superb episodes ave been released. All focus on Black Geographies: the first featuring Clyde Woods’ posthumously published Development Drowned and Reborn: The Blues and Bourbon Restorations in Post-Katrina New Orleans (University of Georgia Press, 2017); the second Woods’ life and work more generally (including his important concept of a “Blues Epistemology”); and the third the life and work of Bobby M. Wilson, Emeritus Professor at the University of Alabama and pioneer in the field of Black Geographies (https://thisisantipod.org/category/episodes/).

In early 2021, a year after the release of Episode 3, the “Sound Collective” contacted the Foundation. Covid-19 had been a spanner in the works, and reaching a consensus on direction proved to be difficult. Material had been recorded but not released, and given numerous enquiries regarding contributing to the podcast and joining the Sound Collective, the founding members decided to step down and hand responsibility to a diverse, experienced new cohort: Asha Best (Clark University), Carrie Freshour (University

of Washington), Deondre Smiles (University of Victoria), Theodore Hilton (Tulane University) and Marlene Ramos (CUNY). Equipment and funds have been transferred, and four of the original Collective, KT Bender, Alex Moulton, Akira Drake Rodriguez and Brian Williams have agreed to advise when necessary. The Foundation would like to thank them for all their work, and wish the new cohort the very best of luck.

[9] Just in time for Antipode ’s 50[th] anniversary, the Antipode Film Project was wrapped in 2019. Three geographers with extensive filmmaking experience – Brett Story,[68] Kenton Card,[69] and Tino Buchholz[70] – had been invited to direct publicly accessible online documentaries presenting some of radical geography’s leading thinkers. Brett agreed to direct a film with David Harvey,[71] Kenton with Ruth Wilson Gilmore,[72] and Tino with Jane Wills.[73] Both David and Ruthie are Professors of Geography in the City University of New York’s Graduate Center; Jane is a Professor of Geography at the University of Exeter, as well as an ex- Antipode editor and Foundation trustee; all kindly agreed to take part in the project. Unfortunately, Jane had to drop out of the project, but we were delighted that the show could go on with Linda McDowell (a Professor of Geography at the University of Oxford) stepping into the breach.[74] Each director worked with her/his speaker over the course of a day or two in 2017/18; upon signing memoranda of agreement with the Foundation, budgets of £10,000 had been made available to them[75] to produce 9-11 minute films. David, Ruthie and Linda stepped in front of the camera, and Brett, Kenton and Tino delivered their films towards the end of 2018/19 (two were approximately 12.5 minutes long, and the other was just over 16 minutes; like word limits, time limits are seen by academics as targets to be exceeded!?).

The films were premiered at the 2018/19 AGM in London. When they were commissioned, we said they should be of the highest quality, introducing viewers to some of the most provocative thinking from critical geography’s leading lights; they should have attitude and directness, and be timely and pressing–springboards for discussion, inciting conversation. Among other things, we imagined the presenters might meditate on a “live”

event or reflect on strategies for change or forms of organisation producing a more socially just and radically democratic life. Or they might comment on the state of radical practice and theory or introduce debate and disagreement around a politically contentious issue. The trustees decided that two of the three will be made available in perpetuity through our website, AntipodeOnline.org from 2019/20.[76] Covid-19, yet again, proved to be a spanner in the works, pushing the release date to June 2020 when the films were uploaded to AntipodeOnline.org[77] and our YouTube channel.[78] As of 15[th] November 2021, Geographies of Racial Capitalism with Ruth Wilson Gilmore has been viewed 157,303 times on YouTube, and David Harvey and the City 23,731 times. Dedicated pages on AntipodeOnline.org have been viewed 24,052 and 3,334 times respectively. We are currently working on transcripts in a number of languages to increase engagement with the films by people who do not speak English as their first language.

Finally, the Foundation’s website –AntipodeOnline.org–continues to do well. Andy worked with Wiley and a web design, marketing and graphic design agency, Public Marketing Communications,[79] to update and relaunch it in September 2019. The new site was well received in its first six months, with around 8,500 views each month. March, April and May 2020 saw a rise to 13,000 views each month (due, no doubt, to the

introduction of lockdown, shelter-in-place, etc. measures), and this jumped to 33,000 in June when the Film Project was released. July was a strong month, too, with over 16,000 views after a Call for Interventions was posted in late June. After a fall back to 13,000 views in August, the last four months of 2020 and first four of 2021 were busy (around 17,000 views each month), with the Geographies of Racial Capitalism and an essay “Thinking Through Covid-19 Responses With Foucault” proving popular.[80]

The Call for Interventions was for the “Conjunctural Insurrections” series, which supports #BlackLivesMatter and other transformational justice movements by opening up

Antipode Foundation Ltd.–Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 30[th] April 2021

48

and expanding a space to amplify voices often unheard and invisibilised in politics, daily life, and academic discourse. Encouraging and seeking to include a broad range of voices and views from within movements across the globe, we invited activists, scholars, and public intellectuals to contribute a brief (150-200 words) observation or statement (in English or other languages), a photo or drawing (with a descriptive caption), or a short video or audio clip (2-3 minutes max.) that relates to themes of the current conjuncture (BLM, Abolish the Police, Covid-19 activism, struggles against the far-right across the world, and other efforts to promote abolitionist politics, transformational justice, and reparations).[81]

We currently publish “Interventions” as part of our attempt to open the Foundation’s activities to the widest possible group of beneficiaries; these short commentaries strive to cast a radical geographer’s eye over “live” events, outlining for an audience beyond the university how the journal might shed light or offer an alternative perspective on current affairs. Interventions, we think, effectively “translate” Antipode essays for a public “out there” that is hungry for critical thinking. But there’s also a public “in here”, within the university, that they might not be speaking to as clearly as they might – students – and many are equally hungry for dissenting thought. We invite authors of Antipode papers to reflect on how their work could be taught, that is, how they might set out the ways in which it can change ways of understanding and being in the world. “The Critical Classroom” consists of a series of webpages foregrounding the journal’s commitment to teaching conceived as radical praxis – a commons resource of teaching suggestions and pedagogical reflections built around published Antipode content, and built by the authors of that content. This will address the importance of teaching, and platform the space of the classroom, as integral components of the radical geographical project.[82]

The website’s companion Twitter account continues to be popular, with almost 22,800 followers.[83] In 2020 advertised all manner of material posted on the website, complementing both Antipode the journal and the wider work of the Foundation: it advertised the “Right to the Discipline” grants, the Lecture Series, the Antipode Book

Antipode Foundation Ltd.–Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 30[th] April 2021

49

Series, and the 2020 Institute for the Geographies of Justice, and disseminated sponsored research, as well as hosting book reviews and review symposia; video abstracts introducing readers to an author’s forthcoming work and making links between it and the concerns of our times; open access “virtual issues” of the journal that explore the digital archive and highlight groups of papers speaking to issues both timely and “timeless”; and reflections on current affairs that demonstrate the value of a geographical imagination by suggesting how the work of radical geographers (and their fellow travellers) might cast light on them.

All material on AntipodeOnline.org can be downloaded, free of charge, and shared with others as long as producers are credited and work is neither changed in any way nor used commercially. We’re confident that the website, Twitter account and Facebook page help the Foundation connect to beneficiaries outside geography, and, indeed, outside academia.

Financial Review

Please see the appended Independent Examiner’s report, statement of financial activities, balance sheet and notes.

Incoming resources: The Foundation’s principal source of funding for the year ended 30[th] April 2021 was royalties from Wiley, that is, monies payable by the publisher of Antipode to the Foundation in consideration for its exclusive right to publish the journal. These monies are equivalent to a proportion of the net revenues from the exercise of this right, including income from subscription and licence sales, sales of backfiles and offprints, book sales, sales of publication rights, and any open access fees charged. They are paid in two instalments: an advance on royalties before 31[st] January in the year to which it relates; and the balance (if any) before 30[th] April in the year following it.[84] We are pleased to report that royalties have held steady (£173,471 in 2020/21; £183,817 in 2019/20).

The Foundation also received: interest on its bank accounts (£1,313 in 2020/21; £1,353 in 2019/20); and contributions from Wiley to the costs of both the annual general meeting (£10,000 in 2020/21; £10,000 in 2019/20) and the journal’s editorial office (£55,826 in 2020/21; £55,239 in 2019/20).

Resources expended: as well as the trustees’ honoraria/grants made to the institutions employing the trustees and grants to support our Editorial Collective (£37,814 in 2020/21; £26,694 in 2019/20),[85] the Foundation’s expenditure in direct support of its charitable purposes included £267 on conferences (£12,894 in 2019/20)[86] and £96,506 on grants (£2,840 in 2019/20).[87] After spending £9,701 on scholarships and bursaries last year – namely, the 15 travel bursaries for participants in IGJ7 (£7,624) and the 14 for participants

Antipode Foundation Ltd.–Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 30[th] April 2021

51

in IGJ8 (£5,988), a number of which were refunded (£3,911) – there was no spending this year.

2020/21’s expenditure on raising funds (including staff costs, general office expenses, meetings, travel and subsistence, and bank charges) and other expenditure (including accountancy and legal fees) was similar to 2019/20’s.[88] After recording a surplus in 2011/12, the Foundation recorded deficits in 2012/13, 2013/14, 2014/15 and 2015/16; the Foundation recorded a surplus of £6,806 in 2016/17, a surplus of £51,097 in 2017/18, a surplus of £20,369 in 2018/19, and a surplus of £144,416 in 2019/20. Given the success of our “Right to the Discipline” grants, we recorded a surplus of £54,094 in 2020/21.

As outlined above, some charitable activities were suspended in 2020/21 for the foreseeable future, with new initiatives launched in their place. We will also be replacing a number of in-person activities with virtual ones in response to government measures taken to deal with Covid-19. Regarding Brexit, we have been monitoring government advice, and are confident that the necessary steps have been taken to prepare for the new rules. The Foundation has continued to generate a surplus during the current year. The trustees will continue to monitor the situation and act accordingly to reduce any adverse impact to the Foundation.

Reserves and investment policies: The Foundation keeps reserves in order to not only maximise impact but also balance the needs of current and future beneficiaries; saving now, as the trustees see it, enables us to both respond to future opportunities and cope with future challenges. These policies are reviewed at each annual general meeting of the trustees and Charity Commission guidance is continually monitored.

Responding to future opportunities / coping with future challenges : In July 2011, the Foundation signed a journal publishing agreement with Wiley, governing the publication of Antipode for eight calendar years from January 2012; upon doing so it

Antipode Foundation Ltd.–Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 30[th] April 2021

52

received a one-off “signing bonus” of £230,000. In February 2018, the Foundation signed a new journal publishing agreement with Wiley, governing the publication of Antipode for eight calendar years from January 2019 (the new agreement superseded the old from then); upon doing so it received a one-off “signing bonus” of £50,000. While these funds are technically unrestricted, the bonuses have been earmarked for future spending.[89] While expenditure is related to income (or, the timing of outgoing resources is related to the timing of incoming ones – one-year funding decisions are made after annual income has been received), income can be supplemented by reserves when necessary. However, this supplementation is limited as the trustees strive to maximise spending while remaining even-handed to both future and current beneficiaries, that is, to take advantage of present opportunities while remaining open to opportunities that might arise in the coming years.

What’s more, the trustees are aware that the Foundation depends on a single income source, and given the general economic situation and expected growth of open access publishing (and the negative effects these are likely to have on subscription and related revenues) the trustees strive to limit the spending of the earmarked funds to modest levels. They do so with the intention of building resilience, enabling the Foundation to maintain its activities – making grants, arranging summer schools and public lectures, and so on – in leaner years. The Foundation also has a legal responsibility to perform as outlined in its publishing agreement with Wiley, and if subscription revenues were to fall dramatically (if, for example, the environment in which the Foundation operates were to radically change) funds would need to be in place to enable it to do so. To be sure, there are contributions from Wiley to the costs of both the annual general meeting and the journal’s editorial office,[90] and the advance on royalties is non-refundable (a “Guaranteed Minimum Payment”). However, the contributions would need to be supplemented by funds held in reserve to enable the Foundation to employ the journal’s Managing Editor (who is also its Executive Director) and meet incidental operating expenses for a period of at least 24 months while its trustees seek alternative sources of

Antipode Foundation Ltd.–Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 30[th] April 2021

53

funding for the longer term. Furthermore, in the event of a significant adverse change in business conditions, the advance on royalties may be renegotiated.

Reserves are invested as savings expected to grow more or less in line with inflation over the term of the investment, and thus to maintain their value in real terms. The Foundation’s investment policy seeks to balance security, interest rates, flexibility, and ethical policies; mutual lenders and deposit takers are favoured in the first instance, and the Foundation currently has accounts with Monmouthshire Building Society and Triodos Bank.

Plans for Future Periods

Given the response to the 2020/21 round of “Right to the Discipline” grants, we’re planning to bring them back for 2021/22. All being well, a call for proposals will be launched in September 2021; we will be making use of our Trustees’, Editors’ and International Advisory Board’s extensive networks to share the call as widely as possible. We still see value in Scholar-Activist Project and International Workshop Awards, but now is simply not the time to make them. As we’ve said before, something smaller, more creative and, perhaps, revolutionary is needed in this moment: resources for research and writing and, perhaps more importantly in this moment, for the social reproduction and collective care that make research and writing possible.

Last year we mentioned Katherine McKittrick and Nik Theodore’s proposal for “Freedom is a Place: Celebrating the Scholarship, Writing, and Organising of Ruth Wilson Gilmore”. Katherine and Nik sought USD 26,800 (approximately GBP 20,000) to convene a conference to recognise the work of Ruth Wilson Gilmore.[91] As well as a “star” of the Antipode Film Project, Prof. Gilmore is one of geography’s leading public intellectuals, a tireless activist, and stellar scholar whose work has extended the reach of geographic thinking beyond the discipline.[92] Katherine and Nik’s proposal was approved, and they are currently planning to hold the one-day conference in April 2022 in New York.

Rather than a festschrift, presenters will be engaging critically with Prof. Gilmore’s archive, attending to what emerges from her activist and scholarly work. The conference will be recorded and made available on AntipodeOnline.org, and the papers and discussions will form the basis of a set of essays for publication in the Antipode Book Series in late 2022. The book will be a “critical reader”,[93] not summarising Prof. Gilmore’s work but centring it and entangling her ideas with those of the authors, exploring how it shapes/moves them.

55

Speaking of conferences, the year 2021/22 will see the Foundation sponsoring two lectures: [i] at the 2021 Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) annual international conference in London, 31[st] August–3[rd] September, Brett Christophers (Uppsala University, Sweden) will present “Taking Renewables to Market: Prospects for the After-Subsidy Energy Transition”; and [ii] at the 2022 annual meeting of the American Association of Geographers in New York, NY, 25[th] February–1[st] March, Cindi Katz (The Graduate Center CUNY, USA) will be talking about the “geographies of hope”. Both lectures, the former virtual and the latter (we hope!) in-person, will be recorded and made publicly available on AntipodeOnline.org. Many thanks to Brett and Cindi, from everyone at Antipode the journal and the Antipode Foundation, for agreeing to present at such a trying time, and to Wiley’s Rebecca Barber, Grace Ong, and Imogen Sharpe for all their help with the lectures. And a special thank you to Sarah Evans and the team at the RGS, and Oscar Larson and the team at the AAG – their inestimable labours each year make the Annual International Conference and Annual Meeting special events, and we’re thrilled to see them keep the show on the road in 2021/22.

Antipode Foundation Ltd.–Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 30[th] April 2021

1 As well as the 2019/20 annual general meeting, which took place on 9th June 2020, the trustees held six formal meetings during the year: [i] 3[rd] July 2020; [ii] 5[th] –6[th] August 2020; [iii] 7[th] –18[th] September 2020; [iv] 24[th] –25[th] September 2020; [v] 11[th] –12[th] February 2021; and [vi] 6[th] March–14[th] May 2021. In addition to these meetings there were also more regular, less formal telephone calls and e-mail exchanges. The 2020/21 AGM took place (virtually) on 9[th] August 2021.

2 The Foundation’s board of trustees currently consists of five former Antipode editors and six others, appointed on the basis of their expertise in, and dedication to, the project of radical/critical human geography.

26 Multi-year access license arrangements: multi-library/-institution consortia commit to multi-year access, for guaranteed price increases, to either Antipode or all Wiley titles. Note that while the vast majority of access is via multi-year access licence arrangements (just four single-year “traditional” subscriptions were purchased in 2020 [16 in 2019]), 961 institutions libraries/institutions had access in 2020 thanks to so-called “read-and-

publish” or “transitional” deals (up from 647 in 2019). These see consortia negotiating an

“article publication charge” for each journal (that is, the cost to publish an open access

paper), creating a pot of APC funds for their researchers, and arranging access to all Wiley titles. Such agreements are currently in place in Germany, the UK, Austria, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland (see - - - https://authorservices.wiley.com/author resources/Journal Authors/open access/ affiliation-policies-payments/index.html).

44 The two-year impact factor is calculated by dividing the number of citations in a given year of Antipode papers published in the previous two years by the number of Antipode papers published in the previous two years (for example, 500 / 152 = 3.289 in 2018; 446 / 152 = 2.934 in 2019; 746 / 148 = 5.041). As Clarivate Analytics put it, “…JCR [Journal Citation Reports] provides quantitative tools for ranking, evaluating, categorising, and comparing journals. The impact factor is one of these; it is a measure of the frequency with which the ‘average article’ in a journal has been cited in a particular year or period. The annual JCR impact factor is a ratio between citations and recent citable items published. Thus, the impact factor of a journal is calculated by dividing the number of current year citations to the source items published in that journal during the previous two years”

Applicants were asked to submit a four-page application outlining: the title of the event and its organisers’ details (names, position, department, institution/organisation, city,

zip/postcode, country, phone number and e-mail address); the event itself (location[s] and date[s], participants and planned activities, and rationale; ambitions, that is, how the event will contribute to radical geographic scholarship and practice; and outcomes,

dissemination and legacies, or, the expected “afterlives” of the event); and a budget (how much money is needed, how they intend to spend it, and what co-funding has been secured). The deadline for applications was the end of April 2020.

56 Given that we did not make an award in 2019 (Megan Ybarra received the funds in 2018: https://antipodeonline.org/2018/08/10/sapa-and-iwa-2018-recipients/), when the recipient of one of the very first S-APAs, Andrew Newman (Wayne State University), contacted us in January 2020 in search of funds (a relatively modest amount – USD 1,450.00), we decided to consider the application. Andrew and colleagues’ Project - - produced some important work (see https://antipodeonline.org/2015/09/17/a peoples story-of-detroit/), and they were seeking to continue it by staging a panel at the 2020 annual meeting of the American Association of Geographers.

The panel would consist of Andrew, his colleagues Sara Safranksy, Linda Campbell and Tim Stallmann, scholar Cindi Katz and activist Gwendolyn Warren, among others. They would be discussing Andrew et al.’s new book A People’s Atlas of Detroit (Wayne State University Press, 2020), Gwendolyn’s experiences with the Detroit Geographical Expedition and Institute (DGEI) in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and her more recent work with Cindi on the history and legacies of the DGEI. A grant of GBP 1,167.23 to cover Gwendolyn’s travel costs was made in February, and GBP 1,096.73 was returned to the Foundation in March after the AAG cancelled the in-person annual meeting. All being well, Andrew will be able to re-convene the panel in the future and the Foundation will be able to support it.

75 Each director’s £10,000 grant was the full and final amount that would be made available by the Foundation; it was to be administered by the director, and was expected to cover all expenses including the presenter’s.

76 Unfortunately, the trustees thought that one of the films did not capture the power and influence of its subject’s work. Given the limited content, they are uncomfortable with releasing it as an Antipode Foundation-endorsed film. They discussed this with the film’s subject, and they were of the same view.

We are really sorry that we will not be releasing the film. We know the director will be disappointed by this, and we thank them for their work on this endeavour and wish them the best in future projects.

83 A bit of context: similar journals Society and Space (@SocietyandSpace) and IJURR

(@IJURResearch) have just under 14,800 and 9,800 Twitter followers respectively, and

Wiley Geography & Anthropology (@WileyGeoAnthro) has just under 8,200.

84 The advance on royalties is non-refundable (a “Guaranteed Minimum Payment”). 85 £26,694 in 2019/20 consisted of 9 x £1,000 payments for trustees, and £17,694 to the six editors (payments were made to the University of Massachusetts Amherst regarding Kiran Asher and the University of Glasgow regarding David Featherstone; payments were also made directly to Marion Werner, Laura Barraclough, Alex Loftus and Stefan Ouma because their employers – University at Buffalo SUNY, Yale University, King’s College London and the University of Bayreuth, respectively – wished to levy administration fees, and thus the editors paid a number of research expenses directly and the Foundation reimbursed them).

£37,814 in 2020/21 consisted of 8 x £1,000 payments for trustees, and £29,814 to the six editors. The editors were entitled to £22,930.44 in 2019/20 (4 x £3,852.31 for Kiran, Laura, Dave and Alex; £2,568.21 [i.e. 8/12[th] s of £3,852.31] for Stefan; and

£4,952.99 for Marion), and £24,577.73 in 2020/21 (5 x £3,910.09 for Kiran, Laura, Dave, Alex and Stefan, and £5,027.28 for Marion). Remaining monies from 2019/20 have been accounted for in 2020/21 (£22,930 – £17,694 = £5,236; £5,236 + £24,578 = £29,814). 86 In 2019/20, £444 was spent on the 2019 RGS-IBG and 2020 AAG Lectures, £2,284 on the 2019 RC21 lecture, £2,961 on the 2019 IGJ, £7,023 on the 2020 IGJ, and £182 on the 2019 Historical Materialism International Conference. In 2020/21, £267 was spent on the 2021 AAG Lecture.

87 £96,506 on grants in 2020/21 consisted of actual spending in 2020/21 (£301 minus a £1,175 refund), minus monies payable in 2019/20 (£0), plus monies payable in 2020/21 (£97,380, i.e. ten “Right to the Discipline” grants).

£2,840 on grants in 2019/20 consisted of actual spending in 2019/20 (£83,937 minus a £1,097 refund), minus monies payable in 2018/19 (£80,000, i.e. four International Workshop Awards and four Scholar-Activist Project Awards), plus monies payable in 2019/20 (£0).

88 Expenditure on raising funds: £49,929 in 2020/21; £59,911 in 2019/20. Other expenditure, including accountancy and legal fees: £2,000 in 2020/21; £2,030 in 2019/20. The Foundation strives to minimise this by operating as efficiently as possible while bearing in mind that acute austerity can be a false economy.

89 Unrestricted funds at the end of 2020/21 were £487,224 (2019/20: £433,130; 2018/19: £288,714).

90 Each year Wiley pay to the Foundation a contribution to the costs of the editorial office; for the calendar year 2020, £55,715 was paid (2021: £56,049; 2019: £55,000). The

contribution will rise with the UK Consumer Price Index during the contract term. The Foundation also receives a fixed contribution to the costs of the trustees’ annual general meeting (£10,000 in 2021; £10,000 in 2020; £10,000 in 2019).

91 Costs include research assistants and administrative support, recording, transcription and advertising, refreshments for participants and dinner for organisers, subsidies for participants’ transport and accommodation, and any speakers’ fees.
