Mobilities and Utopias: A Critical Reorientation
What does utopian thinking have to offer students and scholars of mobility? Could ‘mobile utopias’ assist us in envisioning futures – including those of mobility – differently? Do utopias provide a unique opportunity to examine the relationship between mobile societies and lives and the environments against which these are formed? By providing different ways of reading and arguing within different theoretical frameworks and doing so in relation t…
Cities, Railways, Modernities: London, Paris, and the Nineteenth Century
Cities, Railways, Modernities chronicles the transformation that London and Paris experienced during the nineteenth century through the lens of the London Underground and the Paris Métro.

The book…
Reconfiguring Ruins: Beyond Ruinenlust
What explains the global proliferation of interest in ruins? Can ruins be understood beyond their common framing as products of European Romanticism? Might a transdisciplinary approach allow us to see ruins differently? These questions underpinned the AHRC-funded project Re-configuring Ruins, which deployed approaches from history, literature, East Asian Studies, and geography to reflect on how ruins from different historical contexts are underst…

The vertical stretch of human imagination and habitation, even upward, inevitably involves excavation that triggers encou…
