Cripping desire lines
This article discusses the impact of Covid-19 on disabled people’s experiences of walking in the UK, using survey and interview data from the project Walking Publics/Walking Arts: Walking, Wellbeing and Community During Covid-19 . Built environments are often encountered by disabled people as hostile and exclusionary. Our research identifies ways that this inequality was significantly magnified during the pandemic, including through overcrowded p…

Older adult grassroots organisations supporting just transitions in multifaceted engagement
Digitalisation has given rise to concerns about the future effectiveness of older adult grassroots organisations in enabling group-based participation in later life. Despite this, these organisations and their potential role in securing a just digital transition has featured in neither research debates nor policy and innovation agendas. It is essential that this absence is addressed to ensure future citizenship rights across civic, social and pol…
Migrant Women Opposing Governmental Performative Politics and the Hostile Environment
The increasingly restrictive and punitive hostile environment policies reinforce the Conservative Government stance of being 'tough on immigration'. In public debates the government continues to champion lesser rights for racialised migrants through three key aspects of 'performative politics': the creation of social realities, social identities, and social relationships. We illustrate how the policy of No Recourse to Public Funding (NRPF) is an …
Journeying with Adorno
This article discusses the central importance of Adorno in the development of my feminist research practice as ‘ethno-mimesis’, the combination of ethnographic, biographical and arts-based research, operationalised by working with artists at the borders of art and ethnography, as critical theory in practice. The concept of ethno-mimesis emerged from my engagement with Adorno's work across five main pathways (non-identity thinking, aesthetics and …
Walking borders, risk and belonging
This paper engages with the long history of work in Mobilities research and makes a contribution from a different angle, by introducing and discussing creative applications of biographical research using the walking interview as biographical method (WIBM), that captures the sensory, embodied, affective aspects of lived lives and lived experiences, the intersecting oppressions and possibilities for praxis, focusing upon research on borders, risk a…
Forum theatre practice as lived activism
This article seeks to show that activism for racialised, black and migrant women stems from their embodied lived experiences and the need for creating practices and spaces for these to manifest, be validated and expand on. Forum Theatre practice that includes the racialised body, collective reflection and reparative action can address the neo-colonial and patriarchal encounters, and places of oppression within mainstream activism. This article wa…
Introduction to the Special Issue
Walking, talking, [Re-]imagining socio-ecological sustainability
Based on a series of walks undertaken on the Dingle Peninsula ( Chorca Dhuibhne), South-West Ireland, in March 2020 as part of the ‘ Walking Conversations’ symposium, a collaboration between Chorca Dhuibhne Creativity and Innovation Hub, Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne and the Department of Sociology & Criminology at UCC, this paper explores walking as a non-conventional method and way of knowing and understanding in both social research and research …

Walking in the Boboli Gardens in Florence
Walking as a methodological approach has developed within anthropological, literary, sociological, and ethnographic research, and more recently in ethno-biographic studies, but has not greatly crossed into history or art history. In this article, using the metaphor of the “constellation,” we offer a transdisciplinary methodology to complicate Euro-western renaissance humanism, in our exploration of the gendered, temporal, spatial, and cultural as…
Policing and public health interventions into sex workers’ lives
While extensive literature documents how criminalisation harms sex workers’ health and rights, limited research has critically examined how interactions between criminal-justice, health, and other systems shape support and justice for and by people who sell sex. We attend to this question by drawing on participatory, qualitative research with a diverse group of sex workers and other stakeholders in East London, UK. In addition to directly and str…
Stigma and Service Provision for Women Selling Sex. Findings from Community-based Participatory Research
This article presents findings from a community-based participatory research project undertaken with sex workers in North East England. The research included peer-led interviews with 26 women who sell sex in public spaces and/or from private flats or online. Community stakeholders were also interviewed. Focusing on local service provision and interactions with the police and the criminal justice system, this article documents how stigma frames se…
Methodological Innovation in Research
This paper introduces notions of conviviality as both a research practice and a research outcome through an exploration of the racialised and gendered experiences of migrant mothers and young girls in the current hostile environment for migrants in the UK. We argue that innovative, participatory theater and walking methods constitute a convivial practice, particularly helpful for addressing the everyday lives of migrant families within the curren…
Creative Methodologies for a Mobile Criminology
In this article, we build upon research that combines walking as a research method alongside participatory and biographical research to teach criminology and generate criminological knowledge and understanding in sensory and corporeal ways. We argue for a mobile criminology that attends to space, place, and time to analyse theories and concepts in criminology, as well as to undertake and apply research. In this article we share a biographical wal…
Social justice for sex workers as a ‘politics of doing’
The Republic of Ireland is a good case study to highlight the problems associated with uncritical appeals to criminal law as the only appropriate tool to tackle demand and protect sex workers from harm. In 2017, the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act came into force in the Republic of Ireland (hereafter Ireland) making it a criminal offence to purchase sex in the jurisdiction. Ireland’s decision to introduce Swedish-style laws followed a protract…

Imaginative Criminology
This distinctive and engaging book proposes an imaginative criminology, focusing on how spaces of transgression are lived, portrayed and imagined. These include spaces of control or confinement, including prison and borders, and spaces of resistance. Examples range from camps where asylum seekers and migrants are confined, to the exploration of deviant identities and the imagined spaces of surveillance and control in young adult fiction. Drawing …

Walking Methods
This book introduces and critically explores walking as an innovative method for doing social research, showing how its sensate and kinaesthetic attributes facilitate connections with lived experiences, journeys and memories, communities and identities. The book situates walking methods historically, sociologically, and in relation to biographical and arts-based research, as well as new work on mobilities, the digital, spatial, and the sensory. T…
Borders, risk and belonging
This article critically discusses the experiences of women who are seeking asylum in the North East of England and women who are mothers with no recourse to public funds living in London to address the questions posed by the special issue. It argues both epistemologically and methodologically for the benefits of undertaking participatory arts-based, ethno-mimetic, performative methods with women and communities to better understand women’s lives,…

Regulating Prostitution
Following Matthews' (2005) recent examination of prostitution's changing regulatory framework, we offer a critical account of the move from ‘enforcement’ (punishment) to ‘multi-agency’ (regulatory) responses as, in part, a consequence of new forms of governance. We focus on the increasing salience of exiting—a move favoured by Matthews as signalling a renewed welfare approach, but one which, when viewed in the wider context of ‘progressive govern…
Walking, well-being and community
Committed to exploring democratic ways of doing research with racialized migrant women and taking up the theme of "what citizenship studies can learn from taking seriously migrant mothers' experiences" for theory and practice this paper explores walking as a method for doing participatory arts-based research with women seeking asylum, drawing upon research undertaken in the North East of England with ten women seeking asylum. Together we develope…
Moving images
While feminist arts-based projects have gained legitimacy, theory guiding the use of visual images in field research has lagged. Drawing on psychoanalytic-feminist theory and participatory action research methods, the article presents a study carried out with women refugee and asylum seekers that focuses on their experiences in seeking a place of safety in the United Kingdom. The aim was to produce through photography and videography a collective…

Participatory methods and critical models
This article reflects on a ten-year trajectory of research, predominantly in the East Midlands, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. The projects all employed participatory action research methods that involved working in partnership with forced migrants (those situated in the asylum-migration nexus) and community arts organizations to explore the connections between arts, migration and diaspora. The article considers the benefits …
Cultural Criminology and Sex Work
Taking a feminist cultural criminological analysis to the regulation of sex work in the United Kingdom, this paper argues against the dominant deviancy and the increasingly abolitionist criminal justice model for regulating sex work. The paper begins by offering a critique of the dominant regulatory regimes which have operated since the Victorian era, amended in part in the 1950s with Wolfenden, and currently being reinscribed with the Home Offic…
Living with the Other
There is substantial literature on how fears of Other populations are prompting the increased surveillance and regulation of public spaces at the heart of Western cities. Yet, in contrast to the consumer-oriented spaces of the city centre, there has been relatively little attention devoted to the quality of the street spaces in residential neighbourhoods beyond the central city. In this article, we explore how media representations of sex workers…
Theorising narratives of exile and belonging
The article explores the use and importance of taking a biographical approach to conducting participatory action research (PAR) with asylum seekers and refugees in order to: better understand lived experiences of exile and belonging; contribute to the important field of Biographical Sociology; provide a safe space for stories to be told; and in turn for these stories to feed in to policy and praxis. The authors’ combined work on the asylum-migrat…

A Sense of Belonging
A Sense of Belonging: Walking with Thaer through migration, memories and space’ introduces and provides a conceptual and affective context to the photographic essay by John Perivolaris ‘Walking with Thaer’. Undertaken as part of the ‘Transational Communities: Towards a Sense of Belonging’ project funded by the AHRC, Thaer led John on a walk from a space he called home in the city to a special place, mapping the spaces and places along the way tha…
Renewed Methodologies for Social Research
This paper focuses upon renewed methodologies for social research in order to explore and re-present the complexity of lived relations in contemporary society. Renewed methodologies can transgress conventional or traditional ways of analysing and representing research data. This paper combines socio-cultural theory; experience (life stories); and practice (exhibition/performance) defined as ethno-mimesis to explore and better understand key theme…

Coalition theory as a framework for understanding and implementing intersectoral health-related interventions
Although it is regarded as a central concept in the practice of health promotion, intersectoral health-related action (IHA) has, to date, failed more often than it has succeeded. In this paper we review relevant social scientific literature, offer a working definition of intersectoral action and explore the usefulness of coalition theory as a theoretical framework through which to understand IHA theoretically and practically. Coalition theory has…
Spiritual Values in Education
This paper undertakes what might be described as an exploratory consideration of Steiner Waldorf education to see what light such an examination might throw upon and contribute to policy debates on spiritual education 1 1 This article is revised version of a paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association in Chicago, March 1997. . The paper seeks, through this, to further dialogue between Steiner Waldorf edu…

Choosing indicators to evaluate Healthy Cities projects
Ever since their beginning in 1986, Healthy Cities projects all over the world have been confronted with the issue of evaluation. However, after 20 years, many key dilemmas constantly reappear, people often looking for a kind of 'magic' list of universally applicable indicators to evaluate these initiatives. In this article we address five questions, allowing to illustrate the evaluative dilemmas the Healthy Communities movement is confronted wit…

Asylum, Migration and Community
Rooted in more than two decades of scholarship, this book uses critical social theory and participatory, biographical and arts-based methods with asylum seekers, refugees and emerging communities to explore the dynamics of the asylum-migration-community nexus
Walking across disciplines
While walking has long been implicated in ethnography and arts practice, in recent years it has become increasingly central as a means of both creating new embodied ways of knowing and producing scholarly narrative. This introduction explores this cross-disciplinary coalescence of interest in peripatetic practice. It raises a series of questions inspired by the walking/arts event, which was the starting point for this collection, as well as by th…
Walking, sensing, belonging
This article outlines a research project that used participatory action research (PAR) and arts practice (ethno-mimesis) to explore the senses of belonging negotiated by asylum seekers, refugees and undocumented migrants in the English East Midlands. At the core of this project was a walking event in which refugees and new arrivals guided long-term residents through the city, tracing an imaginary and real journey that linked the here and now with…

Transgressive Imaginations
Taking the notion of transgression – the breaking of boundaries – as its starting point, this book brings a fresh approach to cultural criminology by exploring representations of the transgressive in fictive texts and ethnographic research. Chapters focus on topics of urgent contemporary interest, including school shooters, violent female avengers, sex workers, those labelled 'mad', serial killers, asylum seekers and skid row residents. The book …
