In search of a ‘flying cow’? Marketing storm chasing tours in the Great Plains
Although storm chasing existed before the release of the 1996 movie Twister, this blockbuster introduced the concept to a wider audience and played a role in creating a new niche tourism sector with an epicentre in the Great Plains region of the United States. Even today, storm chasing tour operators market themselves, in part, on the aspects of storm chasing that relate to adventure tourism, using terms such as ‘extreme’ and ‘thrill’, but is thi…
A nation built on coal: Transcalar memory work at the Big Pit
Welsh and coal heritage may seem synonymous in the context of Welsh identities. One of seven national museums, Big Pit and its associated memory work reflect and shape the intertwined dynamic discourses of Wales and coal for visitors. We explore these discourses through a mixed methodology, highlighting the changing and transcalar nature of Wales itself, particularly the devolution of the tourism, heritage, and culture sector in 1997 from the UK …

Coal dust in the wind: Interpreting the industrial past of South Wales
South Wales was once synonymous with coal, now among the most globally controversial natural resources due to its association with anthropogenic climate change. In the early twentieth century, Wales was the largest worldwide producer of coal, and mines employed more than ten percent of those living in the country. With rapid closure of coal mines between the 1960s and 1980s, Welsh communities lost the main source of their social and economic iden…
Unearthing community identities at the National Coal Mining Museums of Great Britain
During the nineteenth and early twentieth century, coal was paramount to the emergence of the Industrial Revolution in Britain, with the country as the greatest producer and exporter of the resource. Encompassing the extraction, processing, and transportation of coal, mines and associated infrastructure were found across the island. From the 1960s, coal mines were closed throughout the country due to shifting energy demands and political prioriti…

Fieldwork in Human Geography
Bars, riverbanks, hospitals, bike paths, rainforests, gyms, factories, therapists' offices – the “field” for human geographers is multifaceted and global. Though the research topics are varied, there is a continuum in human geography concerning how researchers define the field, how fieldwork is conducted, and the how the results are analyzed. The entry begins with a description of historical approaches to human geography fieldwork, then consider …
Overcoming the Myth of Extinction: The Path Toward Heritage Rights for the Tasmanian Aboriginals
Heritage rights figure prominently in the contemporary efforts of the Tasmanian Aboriginal community to reassert their identity and regain self-determination. A belief has persisted that the Tasmanian Aboriginals became extinct in 1876 as a result of colonization. Consequently, heritage is a contentious political issue in Tasmania, with dispute long focused on efforts to replace the state Aboriginal heritage protection legislation, the Aboriginal…
Gushing about black gold: Oil and natural gas tourism in Texas
Coal mines, factories, and many other forms of industrial heritage have been well documented in terms of tourist motivations, economic impacts, and community attitudes, but little attention has been given to tourism associated with oil and natural gas, among the world’s most significant and controversial natural resources. Texas is arguably the US state most widely associated with the resource, economically, politically, and culturally. As the si…
Territorial Cleansing: A Geopolitical Approach to Understanding Mass Violence
The ‘geopolitical where’ of genocide and mass violence has been understudied, under-theorized, and underappreciated, particularly by those outside geography. We examine the study of genocide and mass violence with a critical geographic lens and propose a framework, territorial cleansing, that places such events within an idealized territorial conceptualization. We define territorial cleansing as a geopolitical project consisting of processes, pol…
