Acceptability of Circle of Security-Parenting groups in NHS community perinatal mental health services in England: Parent and practitioner perspectives
Perinatal mental health (PMH) difficulties are prevalent and often accompanied by parent-infant relationship difficulties. National Health Service community PMH services (PMHS) support birthing parents (typically mothers) experiencing moderate-to-severe and complex mental health difficulties. While PMHS primarily address maternal mental health, treatment can include interventions targeting parent-infant relationships. The Circle of Security-Paren…
The natural benefits of camping outdoors at home during the Covid-19 pandemic
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: Interdisciplinary creative art practice and nature connections
Scoliosis is an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine with the large majority of cases classed as idiopathic, meaning there is no known cause. Typically, most cases occur in children and young people affecting approximately three per cent of the adult populace with five out of six cases being female. The BackBone: Interdisciplinary Creative Practices and Body Positive Resilience pilot research study used arts and humanities methods to measure t…
Camping at home: Escapism, self-care, and social bonding during the Covid-19 pandemic
The restrictions imposed by COVID-19 lockdown(s) left many feeling trapped at home. One leisure activity that saw a surge in popularity during lockdown was ‘home’ camping. Camping has long been associated with positive health and well-being outcomes and during lockdown camping at home was documented across social media platforms as people shared experiences of their micro-adventures. This paper will draw on social media (Instagram) and survey (> …
Teaching sensory geographies in practice: Transforming students’ awareness and understanding through playful experimentation
Various ‘turns’ within human geography (‘emotional’, ‘sensory’, ‘experimental’, and ‘creative’) have highlighted the role that the senses play in our embodied and emotional experiences of place, and the need for more sensuous scholarly practices. Resulting work has enriched the discipline theoretically and methodologically, however, the same cannot be said for our pedagogy. Drawing on data relating to one undergraduate Honours option course, this…
It’s one of the first times I’ve felt fully engaged’: Developing student engagement using blogging as a form of assessment
There is a widespread debate in higher education about how best to support students in becoming more active and engaged learners. Geographers have occupied a central position in these debates having long been concerned with understanding and creating teaching spaces that encourage active and experiential learning. Recent pedagogical innovations have seen a movement away from a reliance on lecturing as the key pedagogical method and a redefinition…
The Scottish endarkenment: Art and Unreason, 1945 to the Present
Accounts of the Scottish Enlightenment generally tend to emphasise the movement’s cherished ideals of rational scientific thought and utopian progress. Less attention is paid to the period’s “darke

Night walking: Darkness and Sensory Perception in a Night-Time Landscape Installation
Human sensory orders are recalibrated when faced with the reduced illumination levels of the night; it is harder to judge depth and distance, details are obscured, colours muted, and one is obliged to compensate for this loss of visual acuity by drawing on the other senses. Darkness also forces one to question how one's body is in relation to that which surrounds, challenging one's human sense of bodily presence and boundary. Focusing on The Stor…

Naked in nature: Naturism, nature and the senses in early 20th century Britain
Advocates of naturist practice have long celebrated it as the authentic human—nature relationship, a way of rekindling our connections with the natural world, and a means of achieving and maintaining physical, mental and spiritual health. Using Hans Surén's book Man and sunlight (1927) as an example, this paper explores the importance of sensory perception to, and the embodied geographies of, naturism and the particular ways in which early 20th c…
Engaging with place: Artists, site-specificity and the Hebden Bridge Sculpture Trail
This paper traces the creative processes employed by artists participating in the 2004 Hebden Bridge Sculpture Trail and examines relationships between place, art and site-specificity. The Trail is a popular, temporary annual local arts event that invites international artists, students and community art groups to create and exhibit site-sensitive sculpture within Hardcastle Crags in Yorkshire, England. We consider some of the multiple ways in wh…
