Fixity and flux: A critique of competing approaches to researching contemporary Jewish identities
Jewish identities are becoming increasingly pluralised due to internal dynamics within Judaism and wider social processes such as secularisation, globalisation and individualisation. However, empirical research on contemporary Jewish identities often continues to adopt restrictive methodological and conceptual approaches that reify Jewish identity and portray it as a ‘product’ for educational providers and others to pass to younger generations.

Pragmatism and geography
The Art of Doing (Geographies of) Music
Like every other work of art, music has become the stuff of social research: it has been interrogated for its economy, its politics, and its role in elaborating human life. Music has its geographies too: its cultural landscapes; its positioning in a soundworld; its embodiment; its materiality. But, intriguingly, until recently musical methodologies have remained half formed, fragmentary, hidden, elusive, out of sight, beyond words. This is partly…
Instrumental routes to emotional geographies
Emotional experiences and relationships have traditionally been marginalized in human geography despite their impact on all aspects of social life. We argue, however, that understanding emotions is crucial for appreciating how the world of human (inter)actions works. To develop this argument we address two key questions. First, we ask how it is possible for social scientists to access the intimate emotional content of human affairs. One answer to…
