A Nature-Based Intervention for Promoting Physical Activity in Older Adults: A Qualitative Study Using the COM-B Model
Physical inactivity contributes to over 800,000 deaths annually. Numerous non-pharmacological interventions provide a route to address this behavioural risk factor linked to the growth of non-communicable diseases. Here, we consider a nature-based intervention, specifically group outdoor health walks (GOHW), as a non-pharmacological intervention to increase physical activity and contribute to health and quality of life amongst older adults. We us…
Rethinking commonality in refugee status determination in Europe: Legal geographies of asylum appeals
The Common European Asylum System aims to establish common standards for refugee status determination among EU Member States. Combining insights from legal and political geography we bring the depth and scale of this challenge into sharp relief. Drawing on interviews and a detailed ethnography of asylum adjudication involving over 850 in-person asylum appeal observations, we point towards practical differences in the spatio-temporality, materiali…
To fail an asylum seeker: Time, space and legal events
Legal geographers have recently highlighted the importance of attending to the interaction of time and space to understand law and its enactment. We build on these efforts to examine the spatiotemporal influences over the processes by which asylum claim determination procedures in Western industrialised countries seek to reconstruct past events for the purposes of deciding refugee claims. Two 'common-sense' beliefs underpin this reconstruction: t…
It’s on the ‘nice to have’ pile”: Potential principles to improve the implementation of socially inclusive Green Infrastructure
Green Infrastructure (GI) research tends to focus on the need for GI to enhance ecological processes, its potential to provide health and economic benefits, and on the barriers preventing its uptake. Yet there has been inadequate focus on the social aspects of GI. In the United Kingdom (UK) the need for GI is well established, such that policymakers and planners are now turning to the question of how GI should be implemented. Drawing on a mixed m…
The tribunal atmosphere: On qualitative barriers to access to justice
Vulnerable groups’ direct experiences and impressions of British courts and tribunals have often been overlooked by politicians and policy makers (JUSTICE, 2019). This paper takes a geographical, empirical approach to access to justice to respond to these concerns, paying attention to the atmosphere of First Tier Immigration and Asylum Tribunal hearings to explore the qualitative aspects of (in)access to justice during asylum appeals. It draws on…
Sizing Up Without Selling Out: The Role of Authenticity in Maintaining Long-Run Consumer Support for Successful Underdog Brands
Research and market evidence indicate that positioning a brand as an underdog can be an effective marketing strategy. Interestingly, if successful, this strategy could result in brands outgrowing their underdog status. In such situations, the current research finds it is critical for underdogs to be perceived as authentic to maintain long-term consumer support. The importance of authenticity is revealed by depth interviews with underdog supporter…
What’s missing from legal geography and materialist studies of law? Absence and the assembling of asylum appeal hearings in Europe
There is an absence of absence in legal geography and materialist studies of the law. Drawing on a multi‐sited ethnography of European asylum appeal hearings, this paper illustrates the importance of absences for a fully‐fledged materiality of legal events. We show how absent materials impact hearings, that non‐attending participants profoundly influence them, and that even when participants are physically present, they are often simultaneously a…
The political mobilities of reporting: Tethering, Slickness and Asylum Control
This paper focuses on the coerced mobilities associated with reporting, meaning the mandatory requirement to regularly check-in with authorities for the purpose of control. Drawing on recent calls for a politics of mobility and advances in carceral geographies, we attend to the forces, movements, speeds and affective materialities of reporting with a focus on deportable migrants and the UK Home Office. In doing so we develop two conceptual lenses…
Situating Border Control: Unpacking Spain's Sive border surveillance assemblage
Connectedness and Citizenship: Redefining Social Integration
Despite decades of deinstitutionalization, individuals with psychiatric disabilities living outside the hospital may be described as in the community, but not of it. To effectively address the persisting problem of social exclusion of persons with psychiatric disabilities, new conceptual tools are needed. To address this need, a new definition of social integration is offered.The definition is based on data from a qualitative study. Data collecti…
The Lived Meanings of Fanaticism: Understanding the Complex Role of Labels and Categories in Defining the Self in Consumer Culture
Fandom is often stigmatized as abnormal, dangerous, or silly (Lewis 1992 1992. Introduction. In Lewis, L. A. , and Lewis, L. A. (Eds.) , The adoring audience: Fan culture and popular media . London: Routledge. [Crossref] , [Google Scholar]). At the same time, fanaticism and fandom in its various incarnations are becoming the story of the times and of central importance to marketing theory and practice. How to develop and utilize fanatical consume…
