Rethinking human rights
I’m terrified of becoming a headline’
Creative responses to societal issues can be used to highlight topics, provoke discussion, and encourage solutions. Art can take on a multiplicity of roles in response to gender-based violence from enabling individuals with personal experience sharing their stories to critiquing media/political representations. The ‘I’m terrified of becoming a headline’ exhibition (Munster Technological University Gallery Cork, Ireland, April/May 2022) deployed p…
Making a podcast
Although podcasts have become a popular medium since the early 2000s, geographers' use of the format as a research and dissemination method is underdeveloped. This paper examines how audio podcasts can be deployed as geographical processes to explore place and convey spatial themes in an impactful and innovative inclusive manner. Using the case study of a short series produced to consider the role of a river in the life of a region, I show how fi…
Three participatory geographers
This paper advances the geographies of religion, spirituality and faith’s limited attention to positionality by discussing the critical issues raised when using participatory approaches. Reflecting on three cases of participatory research, we foreground the dynamics of being a researcher with faith when working with participants from faith communities. Advocating participatory approaches as valuable methodologies that should be used more extensiv…
A ‘new’ walking pilgrimage
Drawing on discussions of pilgrimage as a landscape-based practice, this paper explores understandings and experiences of the recently developed North Wales Pilgrim’s Way (Taith Pererin Gogledd Cymru). A focus on this new trail considers how a walking pilgrimage combines physical activity, personal and spiritual encounters, and natural and spiritual landscapes Accounts of pilgrim experiences and photographs demonstrate how journeys on the North W…
Fluvial Tones
This reflective paper considers Fluvial Tones, an 8.15 minute audio track, I created by combining field recordings of the River Lee (Cork, Ireland) with short excerpts from interviews to explore the waterway as a confluence of human-environment relations. Rivers are an acute example of the Anthropocene as natural systems that have been directly and indirectly altered by socio-economic actions over millennia. By deploying the unique capacities to …
Encountering Emotions at Saint Brigid’s Well
In this reflection, I consider my emotional experiences responding to a collection of objects left as offerings at St Brigid’s holy well in Ireland. Drawing on my fieldwork at the site, I explore how emotion is a connective force by articulating the feelings and affective elements surrounding an encounter in this numinous space. The essay enables a fuller accounting of the abiding sentiments, presences, and enchantments that influenced me and my …
Pilgrim and path
This article foregrounds the pilgrim, as a relational identity, to explore the co-emergence of self and world through embodied spatial practices. The pilgrim, as a liminal and mobile figure, is aligned with Maurice Merleau-Ponty's phenomenological concept of the 'flesh', which presents subject and object as co-incipient. An auto-ethnographic study of the Croagh Patrick pilgrimage in the west of Ireland combines interview accounts from research pa…
Audio and ludic engagements with spiritual heritage at an Irish holy well
This article reflects on audio methods and field recordings as means of examining how a cultural-spiritual space can be experienced by young people through an arts heritage project undertaken with primary school children in rural Ireland. Contributing to the growing role of sound and audio in geographical research, we consider how a series of participatory workshops at a holy well fostered curiosity and ludic engagements with the place enhancing …
Touching the sacred
This paper explores the links between touch – as a physical sensation and as a metaphorical connection – and spiritual encounters at Irish holy wells. Building on embodied examinations of the sacred by cultural geographers, my emphasis on the haptic aspects of the micro-pilgrimages at these fluid locations presents new insight into spiritual experiences as practiced and felt processes. Touch serves both as an analytical lens and a sensed understa…
Journeying with
Autoethnography is increasingly being appreciated as a tool to engage with embodied practices and spatial performances by combining the experiences of both participants and researchers. This paper examines its deployment in the study of a walking pilgrimage on the mountain Criagh Patrick in Ireland. The significant growth of pilgrimage in recent decades has prompted the development of concepts and approaches to examine the motivations and experie…

Celtic pilgrimage, past and present
Perigrinatio, the Latin term for pilgrimage was at the heart of the medieval Celtic church, but was this was understood and practised not only as a journey to a shrine, but more broadly as a spiritual journey, which could lead to an isolated hermitage or peripatetic evangelistic mission. In this paper, we outline the beliefs and practices of the broad assemblage known as the Celtic church, particularly the interleaving of pilgrimage, asceticism a…
Geographies of Pilgrimage
This article argues for the importance of geographic engagements with pilgrimage and its analysis through the lenses, considerations and sympathies of the mobilities turn. Pilgrimage is being increasingly recognised as a multifaceted sociocultural spatial practice that plays a significant role in the lives of millions of people and in numerous sites across the world. The geographies of mobilities' emphasis on movement and practices in shaping the…
