Comparing teacher beliefs and actions during collaborative geographical inquiry
The importance of between-desk instruction during inquiry-based learning to deepen learning is well recognised in some curriculum areas but remains under-researched in geography. Inquiry-based learning incorporates the use of generative questions and inquiry methods to support student-driven investigations. This paper reports on a study of teacher-student interactions during geography inquiry-based learning. A cross-case fine-grained analysis of …
Creating the Conditions for Geographic Conceptual Development in Post-Primary Students through Collaborative Guided Inquiry
This paper explores the potential for a collaborative guided inquiry task to stimulate geographic thinking using core geographic concepts of ‘location’, ‘distance and direction’, ‘scale’, ‘symbols’, ‘relative location’ and ‘slope and topography.’ The guided inquiry began with a visit to a park, with students then applying geographic thinking to redesign the park in a way that optimised utility for various user groups. The data generated included …
Making sense: Reflections on an event-based memoir in an existential mode
I began this contemplation of skull and mind after a concussion in 2017 meant that I had to stop reading and engaging in the variety of daily, cognitive activities that comprise academic work. Making Sense documents the subjective sensorium of this injury through a multimedia memoir and autoethnographic analysis that is attuned to ‘existential modalities’. I contemplate an emerging, perceptual repertoire alongside other knowledge practices that r…

Taming Space: Drug use, HIV, and homemaking in Downtown Eastside Vancouver
This article explores ideas of home and place making that bear on the narrated realities of 14 women who are drug users living with HIV in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. 'Taming Space' refers to the negotiations, transgressions and accommodations they make within particular spatial regimes. As residents of a 'skid row' district, research participants work to reconcile personal identities within representations of stigmatized space. As the subject…
Risk, Citizenship, and Public Discourse: Coeval Dialogues on War and Health in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside1
This article is about September 11, 2001, and its narrated effects on the lives of nine street-involved women in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. I outline the locations from which they spoke about war and health: as consumers and economic agents whose bodies are linked to transnational economic processes; as residents in a local community of shared knowledge and practices; and as marginalized citizens of a nation-state. I hope to emphasize the val…
Myths and Traditions of the Arikara Indians
When trappers and fur traders first encountered the Arikara Indians, they saw a settled and well-organized people who could be firm friends or fearsome enemies. Until the late eighteenth century the Arikaras, close relatives of the Pawnees, were one of the largest and most powerful tribes on the northern plains. For centuries Arikaras lived along the middle Missouri River. Today, they reside on the Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota. Thoug…
A Penny for Your Thoughts: Properties of Anthropology in a Transnational Present
Fieldworkers, and the materials we construct, are situated at a complex intersection of colliding interests. We negotiate agreements of access and use of information with individuals, and community, national or transnational authorities. Universities and funding agencies impose sanctions governing the ownership of collected materials and disciplinary tradition provides an ethical universe within which we practice. Finally, fieldworkers are subjec…
