Transgender negotiations of precarity
We use feminist and queer theorisations of precarity as emotional and embodied to explore how trans people experience and negotiate university campus spaces in North East England. Through analysis of 15 interviews conducted with university students and staff, we highlight how precarity is lived and felt through an exploration of the ways in which different spaces of the campus become contexts of hope, comfort, and belonging, as well as anxiety, f…
Trans experiences of a university campus in northern England
The spatial experiences of transgender and gender non‐conforming (“trans”) people continue to occupy the margins of geography, especially compared to the amount of work centred on lesbian and gay lives. Though research on trans geographies in educational and health settings is expanding, most literatures stem from the USA. This paper shares findings from a study about the experiences of trans people who study and/or work on a specific university …
Queer geographies of spatial media
Digital media scholarship is burgeoning. However, there remains a paucity of queer geographies accounting for hybridity and multi-directionality of coexisting, variegated and embodied spaces produced through spatial media nor the technologies that enable these media (smartphones, tablet computers, and self-tracking devices). Bringing together literatures on sexuality and the first and second iterations of the internet, this article extends debate…

Focusing on street‐level bureaucrats who deliver frontline services, we explore efforts to integrate I & SM into youth work with clients who are thought to be ‘digitally savvy’ but also in need of protection f…
