Interrogating ‘healthy markets’ as a collectively concerned market
Engaging the humanitarian marketplace
This article argues that humanitarian procurement and supply activities create geographies that are underpinned by valuations and the various values these arrange. The article draws from interviews with global procurement, commodity and supply chain leads for European and North American humanitarian organisations providing emergency humanitarian assistance and development programming as to how they engage with values and valuations in their profe…
Strategic ignorance and crises of trust
This paper explores how transnational food supply chains are governed and secured through examining the 2013 horsemeat scandal, during which processed beef products were adulterated with horseflesh. Drawing on theories of governmentality and ignorance studies, it argues that the apparent ignorance among food businesses about their supply chains which this event exposed arises in response to a regulatory apparatus which renders businesses responsi…
Navigating futures
This paper examines the use of supply chain mapping by actors in the UK food system to anticipate problematic futures. Supply chain mapping as an anticipatory practice is a response to a recent food scare that has reinforced concerns about the safety, quality, and authenticity of foodstuffs circulating within supply chains. Our analysis of this novel set of mapping practices is based around the visibility of the supply chain that they offer and t…
You Were a Lifesaver’
This article critically considers the concept of vulnerability and its interaction with care practice, particularly care of the self. Underpinned by a feminist ethics of care perspective the relational aspects of vulnerability that can facilitate and realise ambivalent and unknown potential outcomes for individuals are emphasised. Original ethnographic research considering the offer and receipt of free meals within one community café in the city …
Perspectives on responsibility in practice as revealed through food provisioning offers for rough sleepers
The discursive rhetoric of responsibility has become associated with a neo-liberal ‘responsibilisation’ agenda, typified by policy approaches to rough sleeping in England. I draw on feminist ethics of care literature to provide a critical discussion of responsibility. Informed by original ethnographic research I explore how responsibility is practised and negotiated between rough sleepers and local actors through on-site food provisioning activit…

Financial inclusion, universal banking and post offices in Britain
The causes and consequences of financial exclusion have become a policy concern in Britain in recent years. This paper analyses policy discourses around financial exclusion and considers the (social and economic) geographical issues surrounding one particular policy response – universal banking services. It examines the policy background which led to the introduction of these services, and the institutional role of the Post Office, before discuss…
Patterns and Concentrations of Disadvantage in England
Concerns have been expressed with regard to the use of both single variables and indices in the assessment of disadvantage. In response, a 'bundles' methodology was adopted. Several variables were combined to define particular conditions acknowledged as representing the main elements posing a risk of disadvantage. Numbers of people facing these circumstances within particular locations were then identified. The approach offers a capability to rep…
