Photo go‐alongs for researching the relations between people and place
This paper demonstrates the value of photo go‐alongs as a qualitative method for researching the complex relationships between people and place. By integrating two traditional research methods, photo elicitation and go‐alongs, the paper considers the utility of photo go‐alongs in providing rich insights into how participants make sense of themselves and the world in the present moment. Photo go‐alongs were used as part of a research study in Pres…
Making sense of 'middle-age
This paper presents a research agenda on the geographies of middle-age, drawing on life-history interviews with self-identified middle-aged participants from Greater Manchester, UK. The place of middle-age in debates about age within and beyond human geography are explored, including the extension of the category of youth and the deferral of older age. While lived experiences of middle-age are changing and significant, they are frequently overloo…
What silence suggests
This paper considers what silences might suggest during research conversations. Reflecting on an interaction in a café, I show how silences might be thought of as ‘interruptions’: important moments in which streams of experience are disrupted and when processes of sense making occur. Though there is no ‘one‐size‐fits‐all’ approach to how researchers should deal with silences, the skilled researcher might be one who recognises that what a silence …
Human–Autonomy Teaming
OBJECTIVE: We define human-autonomy teaming and offer a synthesis of the existing empirical research on the topic. Specifically, we identify the research environments, dependent variables, themes representing the key findings, and critical future research directions. BACKGROUND: Whereas a burgeoning literature on high-performance teamwork identifies the factors critical to success, much less is known about how human-autonomy teams (HATs) achieve …
Talking methods, talking about methods
This paper focuses on "talking" methods, noting their wide application across the social sciences, and identifies potential spaces for innovation in this field. Drawing on interview material from the Methods for Change project, we argue that researching methods requires creative approaches to talk. With research methods as our focus, we draw on data collected from online interviews with 36 academics, which aimed to explore the transformative pote…

More-than-representational approaches to the life-course
This paper proposes bringing together work on the life-course and more-than-representational theories as one way to extend and complement current approaches to ageing research. Drawing on ethnographic research with older people in Manchester, UK, I argue that research on ageing should better foreground those less-tangible, temporal dynamics of experience which are often overlooked. Understanding the life-course through more-than-representational …
The taking place of older age
Representations of older age are often reductive in western societies, portrayed as a distinct period of life characterised by social disengagement and physiological decline. Through rich ethnographic accounts developed with older people from Greater Manchester UK, this paper is concerned with how the category of older age is made through representations, and the different ways people encounter and relate to it. In doing so, it disrupts reductive…
