Cork City, Ireland
This paper analyses Cork's trajectory towards a sustainable, innovative, and globally connected urban centre. On Ireland's south coast, Cork serves as an exemplar of how second-tier cities can undergo transformation and structural change, emerging as an exemplar of economic success. The paper explores the synergies between policymaking, labour markets, and transportation improvements, specifically in the pharmaceutical and IT sectors, noting thei…
Colonialism, Tourism and Place
This paper is concerned with the emergence of hospitality in Colonial Victoria, and is part of ongoing research into understanding Victoria’s ‘tourism era of discovery’, which focuses on the embryonic or emergent phase in which the tourism and hospitality industry is coming into being. Travellers’ accounts and other contemporary sources are used to provide insights into Victoria’s nascent hospitality - through them we should be able to see the va…
Active learning using a smartphone app
Opportunities to deploy digital technologies to research agendas and active learning in tertiary education are becoming more widespread. Despite this, many research techniques are still taught using traditional “pen-and-paper” methodologies. In this article, we report on a strategy for integrating mobile technology into our large (275+) module GG1015 Applied Geography, via the use of smartphones and the ESRI Collector for ArcGIS app. Focus groups…
The Colonial Hotel
In spite of its dereliction, the Grande Hotel in Beira, Mozambique, has emerged as an iconic African building. The dissonant meanings of this site, offer multiple opportunities to investigate the intersection of space and colonialism. We focus upon the cultural and political topologies of the hotel, and of colonial hotels generally, and make the proposition that they were a particular kind of violent colonial institution. By converging a relation…
Irish Empire
Throughout the 20th century the books, exhibitions, public lectures, magazines, film and television shows produced by Irish missionaries created a vivid portrayal of Africa within Ireland. Until recently, so clearly were these missionary enterprises associated with an idea of Ireland as a champion of the Global South that their history and their rich visual and material culture existed beyond critique. This paper will contest this established nat…
The creation and circulation of public geographies
In response to the commentaries, we discuss further how social media disrupts and remakes the creation and circulation of geographical knowledges and potentially reconfigures the moral economy of the social sciences. In particular, we examine questions of what is meant by public geography, the publics which such geographies serve, alternative and complementary approaches to social media, the politics of authorship within collective blogs, the pol…
Public geographies through social media
In this paper, we argue that new social media produces new forms of public geography and digital praxis in which the relationship between reader and writer is radically altered and which enables geographers to engage in timely conversation and debate with the public on unfolding issues, and provides new avenues to connect with older forms of broadcast media. Social media can strengthen geographers engagement with the existing fourth estate and fo…

Framing the West
Identity, politics and conflict in dockland development in Cork, Ireland
From Soul to Psyche
Overlapping territories
Unruly topographies
Between 1934 and 1939, over 5000 people, mainly ex‐miners and their families, were settled in government‐owned land settlements in England and Wales. This policy emerged as a response to mass unemployment, and complemented other schemes for the unemployed developed by the inter‐war National Government. This paper will consider the geographical conditions that were imagined, realized and contested in these settlements. Acknowledging the hybrid and…
Regional survey and the economic geographies of Britain 1930–1939
This paper re‐considers the history of economic geography in the interwar period in Britain. The activities of the discipline are considered in the context of the commercial geographies of this time, and the intensive round of industrial and social surveys undertaken at a regional level in Britain in the period. Taken together, these economic geographies constructed a range of representational and material spaces and helped construct industrial r…

An archaeology of dereliction
Arena symposium
This paper outlines the teaching experiences of postgraduates in British Geography Departments. Based on a survey of 58 departments, it discusses the teaching and training environment in which postgraduates work, and identifies the problems which are emerging from the growing tendency to employ graduate students as teachers. The general absence of formalised training systems for postgraduate teachers emerges as an acute problem, particularly give…
