Guarav says,
“Joining the editorial team of Territory, Politics, Governance is both an honour and a responsibility I deeply value. As an urban political geographer from the Global South in a Global North institution, I am committed to fostering critical, inclusive, and innovative scholarship that addresses the pressing global challenges of our time. In a world where ideas of territory, sovereignty, and governance are continually evolving amidst climate emergencies and social justice movements, this journal provides a vital platform for emerging voices and interdisciplinary dialogue. I look forward to contributing to its legacy by championing diverse perspectives, theoretical experimentation, and thought-provoking conversations that push the boundaries of our field.”
We would like to thank outgoing the Early Career Editor Carlo Inverardi-Ferri for his work and look forward to continuing working with him as a Co-Editor
