Home heating transition in Finland, Romania, Sweden and the United Kingdom through the combined lens of energy democracy, energy citizenship and energy justice
From warming bodies to heating spaces
Home heating transitions influence sociocultural practices and bring about structural changes in daily life. To uncover the power dynamics underpinning these transformations, this paper applies a visionary framework for feminist energy systems designed to challenge hegemonic and unsustainable energy cultures in pursuit of a more just and equitable future. Drawing on the framework's political, economic, socio-ecological, and technological dimensio…
Low carbon heating transitions and Actor Network Theory
We share findings from 30 oral histories of home heating (1945 to present) gathered in the former coal mining town of Rotherham in Northern England. By analysing these rich personal accounts using Actor Network Theory (ANT), we reveal the coal fire (or coal-fired range) as a powerful actant shaping domestic life in the decades following the end of the Second World War. This exposes important, previously unacknowledged, relational-material entangl…
Exploring energy citizenship in the urban heating system with the ‘Walking with Energy’ methodology
Empowering whose future? A European policy analysis of children in energy poverty
Children experience distinct impacts on their mental and physical health as well as their educational attainment as a result of living in energy poverty, according to multiple sources. International guidelines, such as the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, underline the right of every child to an adequate standard of living and the need for all policies to consider the specific needs of children. This paper aims to understand the extent t…
From doxic breach to cleft habitus
Previous research has examined how mismatched dispositions within a divided or ‘cleft’ habitus are subjectively experienced but has not adequately explored nor theorized the variety of ways in which the dispositional disjunctures that progressively give rise to a cleft habitus are initially generated. Combining recent sociological work on ontological ruptures with an affective reading of Bourdieu’s social theory, we use an empirical case to illus…
Special Issue
The uneven and increasingly complex dynamics of decarbonisation
High consumption, an unsustainable habit that needs more attention
Habitus Adaptation and First-Generation University Students' Adjustment to Higher Education
In recent years, research has brought attention to the heterogeneity of resources that first-generation students bring with them to higher education and the factors that assist in these students' social and academic adjustment to university life. However, few studies have focused on how these students' early socialization and experiences over the life course influence their adjustment experiences to university. Drawing on Bourdieu's habitus conce…
Stuck at home in a cold home
People, Place and Policy is an online journal providing a forum for academic debate around issues of urban policy, social and economic regeneration, housing and the labour market. Articles deal with the situations and experiences of people and places struggling to negotiate the opportunities, constraints and risks within contemporary society
"I have a panic attack when I pick up the phone"
In this paper we provide a short briefing on recently completed qualitative research into experiences of energy advice amongst so-called hard to reach energy users. Our sample of 26 respondents comprised of highly vulnerable and marginalised consumers, many of whom led chaotic lives but who agreed to share their experiences of seeking help with energy problems (e.g. affordability; cold homes; ineffective heating etc.) with the research team throu…
Walking with Energy
Coping with extremes, creating comfort
Modernity, Materiality and Domestic Technology
This paper uses oral history as an appropriate method to reveal how residents in the "green village" of Lochiel Park, South Australia, have changed their heating and cooling practises over their life courses. The analysis shows how concepts of modernity, largely drawn from Simmel, help analyze the narratives of the respondents and how these reveal both an increased reliance on technology in their life time and an increased involvement in the mone…
Storytelling as oral history
Understanding the user in low energy housing
Inside the Eco-home
As a method of qualitative research, video offers a means of looking into the world of a respondent and a means of stimulating a dialogue, both with the respondent and others. Video requires, however, the application of additional ethical procedures and may also increase refusal rates, if it is publicly disseminated. Applied to the home, the use of video reveals both practice and identity. Video records practice, showing how the spaces within a h…

From doxic breach to cleft habitus
Previous research has examined how mismatched dispositions within a divided or ‘cleft’ habitus are subjectively experienced but has not adequately explored nor theorized the variety of ways in which the dispositional disjunctures that progressively give rise to a cleft habitus are initially generated. Combining recent sociological work on ontological ruptures with an affective reading of Bourdieu’s social theory, we use an empirical case to illus…
