Making visible off-grid toilet waste management
Art in water and sanitation research in Nepal
This paper documents and discusses the creation of a performance (dance and song) by 12 sanitation workers in Nepal working with artists Alice Fox (UK) and Ashmina Ranjit (Nepal). This creative work was one element within an international, interdisciplinary research programme that explored shit flow, wastewater and marginality in five rapidly developing off-grid towns. Performed at the Lumbini Peace Park as part of the 2022 Women of the World Fes…
Debilitating landscapes of care and support
This paper explores the impact of policy changes and budget cuts on the service and support landscape faced by people with learning disabilities. Drawing upon collaborative research in England and Scotland and interviews with commissioners and support organisations we show how landscapes of care and support are unstable and fragmented. We identify how pressures of time, resource and precaritisation in the workforce are creating ‘debilitating land…
Personalisation policy in the lives of people with learning disabilities
Social care provision across high-income countries has been transformed over the last ten years by personalisation – a policy agenda to give people with eligible support needs more choice and control over their support. Yet the ideological underpinnings of this transformation remain highly mutable, particularly in the context of reduced welfare provision that has unfolded in many nations advancing personalisation. How the policy has manifested it…
Mobile drawing methods in landscape research
In this paper, we show how mobile drawing methodologies can bring the dynamic, relational and non-representational qualities of landscape encounters to the foreground. The research paper discusses a mobile drawing project that took place in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. The project entitled ‘Taxi Guff-Gaff’ invited participants to undertake a collaborative drawing and conversational journey. Mobile drawing together on a bumpy taxi journey required…
Voluntary support in a post-welfare state
Walking methods in landscape research
Walking methods or accompanied visits are increasingly being used to investigate people’s encounters with landscape. Walking methods are often celebrated for opening up new spaces of disclosure, building rapport and generating new knowledge of landscape. However, stating these benefits of walking as a research method has now become somewhat of a methodological orthodoxy that risks ignoring the diverse contexts and cultural circumstances within wh…
Walkers with visual-impairments in the British countryside
Listening space
In this paper, we develop an expanded conception of listening as 'being-with' and explore this in the context of creative visual arts activities with people with learning disabilities. Through a series of textual and visual interlocutions between Inclusive Artist 'Alice', Social and Cultural Geographer 'Hannah' and members of the contemporary arts group 'The Rockets', we identify how an expanded conception of listening is practiced and the result…
Journeys in ink
This article documents some of the imaginative and physical journeys taken by a group of performance makers during a two-week course at Northbrook College, West Sussex in July 2011. Text, photographs and artworks are used to re-present some of the journeys we have taken together as a group and the modes of marking, map making and documentation used. MB: is an inclusive arts practitioner who works with artists with learning disabilities. Mary was …

Non-Representational Approaches to Body-Landscape Relations
This short paper offers a critical summary of some of the key themes of non-representational theory (NRT), with a particular focus on recent approaches to body-landscape relations and the potential place of disability in these accounts. NRT in British human geography has encouraged an emphasis on the embodied, practiced and habitual qualities of embodied experience. Recent non-representational work on landscape has developed these agendas to show…
Articulating Blind Touch
Through reference to autobiographies of blindness and interview material with members of specialist blind and visually impaired walking groups this article aims to explore some of the problems of talking about the experience of touch. It reflects on how people with blindness are receptive to and articulate tactile impressions, and consideration is given to how the articulation of touch relates to certain discourses and stereotypes of touch and bl…
The Intercorporeal Emergence of Landscape
In this paper I explore some of the ways in which people with visual impairments see landscape and participate in visual cultures of landscape apprehension. I draw on ethnographic and interview material, developed while acting as a sighted guide for specialist blind and visually impaired walking groups who visit the landscapes of the Lake District and Peak District in Britain. Through this research material I show how landscape is likely to becom…
"I Don't Know Why They Call it the Lake District They Might as Well Call it the Rock District!" The Workings of Humour and Laughter in Research with Members of Visually Impaired Walking Groups
Humour and laughter are socioembodied phenomena which may be evident in interview, ethnographic, or other social research settings. In this paper I argue that we should engage with humour and laughter in our research accounts, rather than simply relegate these themes to the brackets in our transcripts. Drawing upon doctoral research carried out with members of specialist visually impaired walking groups, I show how laughter and humour form a temp…
