  • Methods of Entering Where Access is Restricted

    Open AccessAlastair Mclauchlan, Allyson F NobleARTICLEHuman Studies2020References: 14

    Where social occasions, in the context of nightclubs and music venues, are bounded, the space of the entrance is accomplished via regulation of attendees by workers. This regulation ensures: the venue stays within capacity; people have been invited or (if required) pay the fee; entry to ‘undesirables,’ such as drunks, is prohibited. This paper draws from experience of attending social occasions and being a doorperson to categorise and examine met…

  • Disciplined research in undisciplined settings”: Critical explorations of in situ and mobile methodologies in geographies of health and wellbeing

  • Recognising ‘learning’ as an uncertain source of SEA effectiveness

    Alastair Mclauchlan, Elsa JoãoARTICLEImpact Assessment and Project…2019

    Strategic environmental assessment’s (SEA’s) capacity to profile significant environmental effects is thought to help make public-sector decision-making more sustainable.

    Alexandre Fintoni, Alastair MclauchlanARTICLEThe Senses and Society2018Cited by: 1References: 22

    Reggae sound systems are assemblages of speakers, record decks, and amplifiers that permit sound to be reproduced at very powerful levels. Sound systems crews, alongside an extended affinity group, build their own systems and organize and engineer the space of the dance. Interviews with crews from the United Kingdom and France reveal differences in how they each draw from the history of Jamaican musical experimentation when making spaces to colle…

  • Would you do SEA if you didn't have to?– Reflections on acceptance or rejection of the SEA process

    Elsa João, Alastair MclauchlanARTICLEImpact Assessment and Project…2014

    Strategic environmental assessment (SEA) is undertaken in more than 60 countries worldwide. Support to the SEA process can range from formal legal requirements to voluntary ‘ad hoc’ approaches. In the cases where SEA is legally required, such as in Europe where the SEA Directive sets a framework for SEA legislation in 28 countries, practitioners may engage with SEA but in a reluctant way. This paper reports on a unique survey of 203 key people re…
