Experiencing (dis)comforting pedagogies
In this paper we reflect on our experiences teaching human geography across two modules that pedagogically centre student reflexivity through content that has potential to be dis-comforting. Drawing upon student experiences on two final year option modules, relating to social and spatial exclusion and “race”, ethnicity and multiculture, we reflect on how learning experiences on these modules “stay with” students in ways that are potentially trans…
The heterogeneous nature of second homes
This article builds on the current recognition of the uneven geography of the second home phenomenon. Where other studies have attempted local-scale analysis of second homes, there has been a tendency to characterise localities as homogeneous and a failure to fully recognise key geographical variations in the composition of second home characteristics within local areas. This analysis demonstrates the importance of understanding the distinct plac…
Exploring the heterogeneity of second homes and the ‘residual’ category
Málaga Moderna ”
Suburban development was not a common feature of the built form of Spanish cities in the nineteenth century but Málaga experienced significant suburban growth at its eastern periphery in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The physical development of the suburbs will be examined, stressing the role of key individuals and the influences upon them. The physical character of the suburbs and their subsequent changes were strongly influ…
Changing visitor perceptions of Malaga (Spain) and its development as a winter health resort in the nineteenth century
During the early nineteenth century, Spain became an increasingly popular destination for a growing number of northern European and American “romantic” tourists. Malaga was initially a popular tourist gateway for those exploring not only southern Spain but also parts of North Africa and the eastern Mediterranean, and by the end of the nineteenth century, it had established itself as a winter health resort of some repute. This study explores the c…
Málaga – a failed resort of the early twentieth century
In the latter part of the nineteenth century the city of Málaga sought to develop a significant tourism function and, in northern Europe especially, became known as a potential winter resort for invalids. The city's suitability for this function was highly contested up to the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, mainly due to its reputation as insanitary and unhygienic. This reputation, based mainly on external perceptions and represen…
Infant feeding in North East England
Decisions about infant feeding are commonly viewed as an issue of personal choice made in the light of information about the benefits of breastfeeding. A pilot study of first‐time parents’ decisions and experiences in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, suggests that local cultural contexts, in particular how men and women are seen to be parenting in different spaces, have a profound influence on infant feeding
The ageing body and the homespace
In this paper, findings are presented from a qualitative study of older people's lives in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, to examine the place of the body in everyday meanings and constructions of ageing. Focusing on the home, we show how notions about gendered as well as ageing bodies affect the use and meaning of space
Difference and the Negotiation of 'Old Age
In this paper we contribute to recent discussions of ageing and ageism in human geography. Findings are presented from a qualitative study of older people which explored the association of old-age identities with different spaces. By focusing in particular on leisure spaces, some of the ways in which the identities and spaces available to older people are constructed by class, ability, and gender are highlighted. These sites have different meanin…
Improving geography essay writing using innovative assessment
This article reports a project which aims to improve the essay writing of undergraduates on a first‐year geography course. The intention was that through self‐and peer assessment as well as tutor assessment of essays, students would learn about assessment criteria and ways of meeting these. As these techniques are unfamiliar to most students, and past experience shows that they sometimes view them negatively, it was important to stress the value …
Women, gender, leisure and place
A growing interest in the role of place in social processes has led to a recognition of the need to incorporate these ideas into the study of leisure and recreation. A critique of the traditional geographical approach to the study of leisure and recreation is followed by a brief review of the geography of gender and humanistic geography literature, indicating the possible contribution that some of the perspectives contained in this material can m…
