Gender Attitudes and Experience Influence Vocal and Conceptual Word Gender Processing
Words carry gender associations from cultural influences like gender stereotypes, and spoken words are affected by speakers’ vocal characteristics. Listeners’ experiences and attitudes may also shape their perceptions. This study examined how individual differences in listener demographics, experiences, and attitudes influence the impact of speakers’ perceived vocal gender on listeners’ word-gender associations. Participants heard 21 words said b…

Welfare Geography
Welfare geography was a subfield focused on spatial variations in inputs (especially state expenditures) and outcomes (such as educational attainment or health indicators). Visible in the 1970s, the field was eclipsed by social and political events and academic fashions, although echoes exist in concerns for social justice and wealth disparities at the global scale.

Examining the Significance of Housing Enclaves in the Metropolitan United States of America
A significant number of Americans now live in housing that is marked by walls and in many instances by gates. While an increasing amount is written on these enclaves, relatively little research has been done on the developments themselves, the Home Owner Associations (HOAs) that run them, or their residents. This paper draws on the American Housing Survey and the Phoenix Area Social Survey to present demographic information on the housing and to …

From Homeland to Wasteland
Bonding and Bridging
This study investigates the relationship between social connections and collective civic action. Measuring social capital in eight Phoenix, Arizona, neighborhoods allowed the authors to determine that individuals with strong social bonding (i.e., association and trust among neighbors) are more likely to take civic action. However, while social capital lessens the relationship between an individual’s social status and the likelihood of taking acti…

In the Nature of Things
This paper addresses the silence that surrounds nature within social science, the discipline of geography included. We begin by connecting the modernist project to the domination of nature, using the example of Scott's race to the South Pole. In addition, we show the way in which the externalization of nature is built into our concepts of science. In the third part of the paper, we begin to deal with the resuscitation of society-nature links. In …
The Spatial Analysis of Peace and War
This article uses methodological insights to argue for a reconceptualization of the way in which we approach spatial data, and specifically for a rejection of the primacy of the nation state as the unit of analysis. We pay particular attention to the way in which the analysis of data with a geographic basis is undertaken, particularly in situations where some form of data aggregation has been undertaken, and in cases where there exists a wide var…

Modernity and the process of state formation
Our understanding of the intricacies of international relations is enhanced by different forms of contextual knowledge, both spatial and temporal. In this article, we explore the complexities of the process of state formation, drawing upon the work of Charles Tilly as a template. We apply these ideas, developed in Western Europe, to the process of state formation in modern Africa, with some success. We explore these results for general insights

Law and Disorder
The paper operates on two different but related levels. As its empirical focus it takes the recent shift in the terrain of conflict over handgun control. Following the lead of Morton Grove, Illinois, a number of communities have taken the initiative in banning handguns within their jurisdiction. This has prompted a response at the State level to standardize controls and limit local communities' abilities to regulate the quality of life. The role …

Leisure as Commodity
Provision and Wellbeing
This paper begins by assessing the state of public facility location research, and follows Dear in suggesting that a new context for analysis is required. Such a context is outlined, placing public goods within a chain of provision that links social policy with the individual's quality of life. Parts of this argument are illustrated with recourse to preliminary empirical work undertaken in Reading on aspects of health-care provision

A geographical analysis of the voting pattern in the EEC referendum, 5 June 1975
Kirby A. M. and Taylor P. J. (1976) A geographical analysis of the voting pattern in the EEC referendum 5 June 1975, Reg. Studies 10, 183–191. The purpose of this short study is to try and explain the spatial pattern of the Yes-vote in the Common Market Referendum. From previous referenda two contrasting hypotheses are suggested, the first suggesting locational effects and the second ‘normal’ political effects. After discussion of data problems, …

Finding Fairness in America's Cities? The Search for Environmental Equity in Everyday Life
This article argues that any consideration of green justice cannot be limited solely to wilderness areas; it must include natural resources as they are manifested in urban areas. We discuss the ways in which residents' images of the natural world are shaped by various institutional forces, including corporations and government of all types. We link up these insights to the growing recognition that there exists an inequitable distribution of natur…
A ghost in the growth machine
This paper focuses upon the social and political consequences of rapid growth in cities outside the regions of traditional economic development in the US. We argue that this growth has taken place despite a number of broadly-defined environmental costs. For the most part, these costs have been transfered to low-income residents, or passed to other levels of government, as these cities have functioned as growth machines. A slowdown in economic dev…
A Public City
This paper outlines a framework for the analysis of the provision of public services in urban areas: the public city. Two interwoven concepts are discussed. The first of these relates to the nature of space. A brief review suggests that philosophical disputes overlook the explicit organization of space within jurisdictional units, a key factor in the provision of consumption goods. These areas, which can be identified as local state units, can be…
Housing Market Studies
The paper considers the contribution of economic, residential development and residential location models to an understanding of the urban housing market and the residential location process. The cost-substitution approach is shown to possess little analytical power in relation to the location of both inner-city and suburban residents, because of the presence of a general positive price gradient throughout the city. Doubts are raised concerning t…

Some Problems of Mapping the 1971 Census by Computer
The paper justifies an intermediate-technology approach to computer mapping, and discusses the application of SYMAP to the presentation of census data. The problems of base-map preparation, data manipulation, and the presentation of line-printer output are all discussed. An example of finished output and an operational FORTRAN program for data amalgamation are presented

An approach to ideology
This paper deals with the problems of teaching ideology by suggesting a simplified approach to the topic. This approach rests upon an examination of debates within the geographical literature. Examples of such debates are examined, and some general principles on the nature of ideological attitudes discussed

The Housing Corporation, 1974-1979
This paper consists of three main sections. The first provides a brief outline of the form and activities of the British Housing Corporation, a state housing agency. The second attempts to account for the growth of the Corporation, drawing on various models of state behaviour. The final section assesses the geographical implications of the Corporation's investment within the United Kingdom
A Perspective on the British Planning Process
This article assesses British planning practice, using that phrase in the widest possible context. Critical assessments of that practice are made in relation to four specific issues. The first is the lack of long-term social goals for which to plan, the second is the emphasis placed upon distinct professional identities, the third is the related development of technical planning, and the fourth is the weakness of the participative exercise. These…

Nine Fallacies of Local Economic Change
This article examines current literature dealing with local economic change and concludes that there are serious confusions extant within that material. Nine specific fallacies are identified, and these are grouped into three distinct categories. In the first instance, definitional problems of time and space are dealt with, notably the assumptions that local economic initiatives are a recent phenomenon. The second group of fallacies examined incl…

The Politics of Transportation and Disposal
In August 1985, a leakage of aldicarb oxime affected approximately 150 residents living within a ten mile radius of a Union Carbide plant located in Institute, West Virginia. The moderately hazardous chemical is used in the manufacture of methyl isocyanate, which leaked from another Union Carbide plant in Bhopal, India in December 1984, killing over 2,500 people. Subsequent studies have revealed that MIC also leaked from the West Virginia plant o…
