Go-along research in the UK Parliament
The current deadlock surrounding the prospective Restoration and Renewal of the UK Parliamentary Estate is attributable to several perceived risks. These include the suspension of parliamentary procedure, ossification of the site, the ceasing of interactions which shape both the estate and broader structures of power and governance, and the loss of narrative meaning (as a form of constitution) embedded in Parliament's constantly-changing design a…

This encompasses the eff…

Getting the Story Right

It does so with reference to the ‘constructivist turn’ in representation literature—particularly its emphasis on co-constitutive meaning-making—which, as this article shows, is also applicable to studies of engagement and narrative. Storytelling constitutes a vital means of engagement, yet has h…
