Comparing music‐ and food‐evoked autobiographical memories in young and older adults: A diary study
Previous research has found that music brings back more vivid and emotional autobiographical memories than various other retrieval cues. However, such studies have often been low in ecological validity and constrained by relatively limited cue selection and predominantly young adult samples. Here, we compared music to food as cues for autobiographical memories in everyday life in young and older adults. In two separate four‐day periods, 39 younge…
Challenging how Danger is Understood: A Research Practitioners’ Note on Migration in Africa
A significant increase in research on movement in and from Africa, much of which has been commissioned, conducted or promoted by international humanitarian and development agencies, has resulted in a disproportionate focus on the dangers of migration. It has helped to generate a policy narrative dominated by the harms associated with movement that is strongly influenced by a Euro-centric lens. This distorts both the true nature of migration acros…
Downscaling: Understanding the influence of open data initiatives in smaller and mid‐sized cities in British Columbia, Canada
Key Messages Current open data evaluation tools do not pay enough attention to the usability of open data portals. Access to open data is hindered by the design, usability, and content of open data websites. Population size is not a factor in determining the efficacy of open data initiatives
Searching for social justice in GIScience publications
Maps are explicitly positioned within the realms of power, representation, and epistemology; this article sets out to explore how these ideas are manifest in the academic Geographic Information Science (GIScience) literature. We analyze 10 years of literature (2005–2014) from top tier GIScience journals specific to the geoweb and geographic crowdsourcing. We then broaden our search to include three additional journals outside the technical GIScie…
