Experiences and imaginaries of healthy ageing among older asylum seeking and refugee women in England
Purpose Greater understanding of older asylum seeking and refugee women’s experiences and perspectives of ageing is critical to supporting and enabling healthy ageing and reducing health inequalities. This study aims to explore the experiences, understandings and future imaginaries of ageing and healthy ageing among older asylum seeking and refugee women living in England. Design/methodology/approach The study applied a novel oral histories and f…
Improving the provision for gynaecological health care in Bangladesh using Essential Gynaecological Skills implementation package
Background: Gynaecological health and its related service delivery have long been neglected in Bangladesh. In response to the high burden and improvements in the provision of gynaecological health care, the Essential Gynaecological Skills (EGS) implementation package was developed. It includes comprehensive in-service training for upskilling the non-specialised health care providers and introduces the first structured data recording system for gy…
Austere life-courses and foreclosed futures
This article seeks to advance geographical understandings of the impact of austerity on young adults in Europe and particularly on their social, relational, and temporal sense of the future. We adopt a life-course perspective to theorise personal, generational, institutional, and social change in relation to one another. Firstly, we progress relational life-course perspectives in human geography to illustrate how place-based experiences of auster…
Friendship in academia
Friendships play a fundamental role in everyday life, offering companionship, mutuality, and care, across multiple and intersecting socio‐spatial contexts. Drawing on scholarship and activism across feminist geographies, and contributing to this growing field of geographical interest, this piece brings together considerations of solidaristic friendship with/in everyday academic practice. Turning this critical lens inwards, I argue that everyday r…
Male, Pale and Stale'? For More Curious, Diverse and Heterodox Economic Geographies
With this paper we directly address critiques made of mainstream, self-defined Economic Geography as a 'male, pale and stale' subdiscipline, proposing that more constructive conversations require open-mindedness, diversity and curiosity. To develop this argument, we draw on scholarship across feminist economic geographies and feminist studies more broadly, presenting new directions and possibilities for overlap. More specifically, inspired by McD…
Legacies of Austerity
Austerity across Europe and other parts of the world has become a go-to socio-economic policy, supporting and enriching neoliberal principles of a shrinking state, financial self-responsibilisation and welfare conditionality. This Special Section presents a new approach to understanding contemporary austerity by focusing on legacies. In this introduction, we illustrate how the lens of legacies can be applied to understanding the aftermath of aust…
Healthy Ageing Futures for Older Women Asylum Seekers
As the numbers of displaced persons across the world grows, research methodologies need to develop to be able to understand these lived experiences in context. This paper draws on key learning points from a project which worked with older women who have applied for asylum in the UK, and specifically in England - a cohort often overlooked by research and practice - to understand their experiences of ageing in this country. Our aim is to provide un…
Oral Histories and Futures
This paper showcases Oral Histories and Futures interviews as an approach and series of innovations for researching crises with qualitative methods. It presents new possibilities for methodological innovations to embrace the multi‐directional and longitudinal temporalities of crises across the life‐course and the life‐course of crises. As an exciting avenue for methodological enhancement, I build on and bring together techniques across Oral Histo…
Personal, Political and Public
The paper offers a response to Kath Browne and Catherine Nash's paper ‘From hegemonic to where?’. Building on their influential body of work and expanding upon further empirical research across Ireland, Canada and the UK, their paper is a direct examination of the views and experiences of those concerned about socio‐legal challenges in sexuality and gender. With my responses and provocations, I gesture towards a relational geographical framing, f…
A Pregnant Pause? Reproduction, waiting and silences in the relational endurance of austerity
This paper brings together relational geographical writings on the politics of waiting, austerity and social reproduction, and also speaks to feminist methodology and praxis. I draw on a recent research project exploring experiences of reproduction in austerity, in particular having any or more children, to think about how austerity in the UK is endured in everyday life. I engage with geographical ideas about temporality – pauses, silences and fu…
Comics and Zines for Creative Research Impact
We contribute to critical debates about the ethics, politics and praxis of research impact by drawing on our experiences of translating research into a comic and a zine. We demonstrate how comics and zines construct ethical and nuanced depictions of socio-politically marginalised groups, moving away from ‘damage centred’ research frameworks. Comics and zines enable readers to access places and moments that other mediums are less able to, and they…
Social reproduction, labour and austerity
For many young adults in the UK, austerity has restricted capacities to access secure housing, employment and social welfare, with sharp implications for reproduction and reproductive futures. Exploring these lived reproductive experiences, this article develops a conceptual framework that brings together social reproduction, emotional labour and relational work in new ways, specifically through the concept of 'carrying'. Carrying, I argue, behol…
Talking methods, talking about methods
This paper focuses on "talking" methods, noting their wide application across the social sciences, and identifies potential spaces for innovation in this field. Drawing on interview material from the Methods for Change project, we argue that researching methods requires creative approaches to talk. With research methods as our focus, we draw on data collected from online interviews with 36 academics, which aimed to explore the transformative pote…
For feminist geographies of austerity
Austerity policies and austere socio-economic conditions in the UK have had acute consequences for everyday life and, interconnectedly, the political and structural regimes that impact upon the lives of women and marginalised groups. Feminist geographies have arguably been enlivened and reinvigorated by critical engagements with austerity, bringing to light everyday experiences, structural inequalities and multi-scalar socio-economic relations. W…
A grammar for non-teleological geographies
Teleology shapes the design of much geographical research through the requirement to identify outcomes. In contrast, the theoretical orientation of geographical research on the everyday promotes a relational and visceral approach to resist the teleological logic of the primacy of outcomes. With this paper, we address this tension between different orientations to the practice of geographical research. Drawing on three case studies of empirical re…
Classics Revisited
This editorial introduces a Classics Revisited collection within which a range of invited authors have used Louise Bracken and Emma Mawdsley's paper, ‘“Muddy glee”: Rounding out the picture of women and physical geography fieldwork’, as inspiration for reflection and to broaden the debate around geography fieldwork. Published in 2004, ‘Muddy glee’ sought to engage with feminist critiques of the masculinist endeavour of fieldwork, whilst trying to…
Reproduction, Life-course and Vital Conjunctures in the Context of Austerity
Reproduction is a considerable concern in contemporary Europe and has attracted growing academic interest in the context of austerity. This paper brings together literature on social reproduction, the life-course and vital conjunctures, and develops innovative methodologies to understand reproduction in the context of everyday life in austerity. Using biographical vignettes from family ethnographies, themes of welfare restructuring, debt and care…
It died once at playgroup, I didn't know what to do
Geographers have long considered mobile phones to be ubiquitous instruments and agents of globalisation, migration, commodification, and technologies for fieldwork. Drawing on two years of ethnographic research with families and communities in Greater Manchester, amidst nearly a decade of austerity cuts in the UK, this paper makes the case for revitalising, repoliticising and rematerialising the mobile phone in this socio-economic context. Drawin…
The Migrant’s Paradox
Connects global migration with urban marginalization, exploring how â raceâ maps onto place across the globe, state, and street** In this richly observed account of migrant shopkeepers in five cities in the United Kingdom, Suzanne Hall examines the brutal contradictions of sovereignty and capitalism in the formation of street livelihoods in the urban margins. Hall locates *The Migrant's Paradox* on streets in the far-flung parts of de-industria…
The Migrant's Paradox
Neighbours, neighbouring and acquaintanceship
In 2012, David Morgan gave a talk titled ‘Neighbours, neighbouring and acquaintanceship: some further thoughts’ at the University of Turku, Finland. In this article we engage in dialogue with Morgan’s talk, as well as his 2009 book Acquaintances , in particular the observations he made about the simultaneous closeness and distance that characterises neighbouring relationships. We suggest that using the metaphors of elasticity and stickiness inste…
Waiting for Brexit
UK geopolitics for the last five years has been heavily dominated by Brexit. The lead up to the referendum, the result, negotiations, intervening general election, extensions, further negotiations, and impending exit from the European Union have captured both academic and public interest. This paper contributes to geographical and wider social science research on the everyday geographies of socio‐economic change, with a particular focus on Brexit…
Care, Covid‐19 and crisis
It has been an extraordinary 12 months, but one which has brought the ordinary (whatever that means?) into greater focus. Living conditions, income and job security, work-life balance, parenting and caring responsibilities, community-researcher relations, teaching spaces and safety, personal relationships, staff-student solidarities, funding opportunities, fieldwork plans and so much more have been tipped on their head. Much of the critical emerg…
Radical Care as the Foundation for a Better World
Social reproduction as social infrastructure
The term social infrastructure is increasingly being discussed in academic literature, policy reports and public forums. We might even go so far as to say it is the latest buzzword. Feminist economists understand social infrastructures as encompassing all aspects of social reproduction, but these ideas are routinely sidelined in wider debates. This article provides a critical reading of key trends in the ways the term social infrastructure is cur…
Everyday austerity
This paper advances ideas about relational geographies to explore ‘everyday austerity’. Whilst geographers have analysed the causes and aftermath of the recent financial crisis, the focus largely remains on problems within economic systems and urban governance, rather than austerity as lived experience. I outline how focusing on everyday relationships and relational spaces – family, friendship and intimate relations – provides exciting opportunit…
Super-diverse street
This paper emerges from an ethnography of the economic and cultural life of Rye Lane, an intensely multi-ethnic street in Peckham, South London. The effects of accelerated migration into London are explored through the reshaping and diversification of its interior, street and city spaces. A 'trans-ethnography' is pursued across the compendium of micro-, meso- and macro-urban spaces, without reifying one above the other. The ethnographic stretch a…
The personal is political
Exploring the ‘ethical everyday’
Mooring "super-diversity" to a brutal migration milieu
The migration milieu in which "super-diversity" locates is not a crisis of human mobility, but a crisis of political imagination to engage with mobility as integral to twenty-first-century citizenship. Western capitalism requires and refutes the migrant, making a volatile life-world of migration in public discourse, policy and everyday life and I engage with whether super-diversity has explanatory cogency for this brutal migration milieu. Vertove…
Post-Soviet Civil Society Development in the Russian Federation
The passing of the Russian NGO Law in mid-2006 set clear parameters for Russian NGO activity and civil society development. In this paper we assess the impact of the NGO Law on both NGOs and Russian civil society. Our findings illustrate that the NGO Law has led to a reduction in NGO activity and curtailment of civil society development. We conclude that Russian civil society appears to be dominated by groups funded and thus controlled by the sta…
Everyday family experiences of the financial crisis
Literature within economic geography on the financialisation of everyday life has so far overlooked the role of family. Using data collected from ethnographic research with six families in the UK before and during the recent financial crisis, this article argues the case for using family as a lens through which to conceptualise everyday experiences of recession and finance. The findings highlight interpersonal family relationships, inter- and int…
A very personal crisis
This paper brings together key ideas from across economic and social theory to expand geographical understandings of crisis at the personal scale. Drawing on ethnographic research with families in Greater Manchester, UK, together with literatures on the geographies of crises and conjunctures, I argue that economic crises, such as austerity, can be revealing of the fragilities within familial and personal relationships and as such constitute a ver…
Migrant Urbanisms
This article expands on the quotidian perspectives of 'ordinary cities' and 'everyday resistance' and explores the migrant urbanisms that emerge out of movement, mixing and exchange. The article argues for a shift beyond a focus on encounter across racial and ethnic difference, to engage with whether everyday social practice can effectively contaminate political practice. The question is raised within the understanding that everyday life is roote…

Personal, relational and intimate geographies of austerity
The impacts of austerity have permeated many aspects of everyday life in the UK, making this an important context in which to carry out social research. In this paper I consider some of the challenges that austerity poses to how we carry out research into everyday austerities and the ethical implications of researching in austere conditions. Drawing on debates from feminist and moral geographies on ethics, care and responsibility, and on first‐ha…
Make, mend and befriend
Dressmaking is a practice infused with historical significance which in the contemporary context of austerity has renewed social, cultural, economic, political and moral importance. Drawing on writing from across the social sciences we advance a geographical understanding of dressmaking by focusing on the themes of feminism and crafting practices, austerity, fashion and consumption, and friendship and encounters in order to theorise the everyday …
Everyday Ethics of Consumption in the Austere City
This paper provides a first critical overview of literature within and beyond geography regarding the everyday ethics of consumption in times of austerity, with a focus on urban spaces. How consumers balance their ethical imperatives in a time of austerity has significant, multi-scalar social and economic impacts, and yet there is a limited literature that addresses the everyday ethics of consuming in austere conditions. By teasing out the differ…
Moral geographies of family
The family is often considered the foundation of moral learning in society, responsible for caring and parenting, and transmitting morals to children and young people, while a lack of moral guidance from family is associated with antisocial behaviour. Despite this deep moralizing of family life, very little is known about how morals are understood in the context of family, how family members form their moral outlooks, and how morals and differenc…
Revisiting geographies of social reproduction
In this paper I revisit Tivers’s (1978) paper ‘How the other half lives: the geographical study of women’, and in doing so also revisit geographies of social reproduction. Contributing to and revitalising geographies of social reproduction, I place these ideas in conversation with Perec’s work on the endotic and infra‐ordinary. This has the effect of both extracting a more feminist reading of Perec and can provide new insights for social reproduc…
High Street Adaptations
Two key forces are likely to impact on the retail profile of London's high streets. First is the increasing expansion of London's retail sector across both affiliated and independent sectors, paralleled with economic volatility associated in part with the global crisis in 2008. The second is the political shift, at both national and city scales, towards the recognition of small independent shops and local high streets, as signalled in The Mayor's…

The politics of belonging
The Politics of Belonging explores the contemporary conundrum between preservation and encounter: between deep national dependencies on migration and diversity, in parallel with a determined political resistance to recognise more fluid and hybrid forms of belonging in a highly mobile, uneven and interconnected world. Ash Amin's notion of a ‘politics of the commons’ provides the paper's orientation for how to engage in forward-looking as opposed t…
Everyday geographies of family
Our key aim with this collection, a combination of original empirical contributions and interventions by experts from across social geography and sociology, is to consolidate and advance feminist, interdisciplinary approaches to the everyday geographies of family via contemporary, empirically grounded research and direct interdisciplinary exchanges. This themed section showcases cutting edge geographical work in relation to the everyday geographi…
Everyday experiences of economic change
In this paper, we argue for repositioning geographies of children, youth and families at the centre rather than at the periphery of discussions about the economy. This not only reveals what contemporary and lived experiences of economic change feel and look like, but also exposes deeper problematics about the geographically and socially uneven nature of neoliberalism and the austere state. This paper also introduces a collection which, when taken…

Family Practices, Holiday and the Everyday
Holidays are central to the rhythm of everyday family practices and consumption, and are often depicted, within both academic literature and consumer marketing, as a defining moment in contemporary family life. To date, academic accounts of the experiences of travel and tourism have been mostly developed outside of the realm of everyday family practices and intimate relations. In this paper, therefore, we advance an interpretation of family holid…
Ethics of Ethnography with Families
This paper contributes to debates on geographies of family and intimate relations, and research ethics in ethnographic research by addressing the ethics of doing ethnography with families. Drawing on debates in human geography, anthropology, and sociology, I argue that the intimate nature of both ethnography and familial relations presents particular challenges to using an ethnographic approach to studying families. Using experiences from two yea…
Private life’ and ‘work life’
This paper addresses the difficulties and dilemmas that may occur when friendships are formed with participants during an ethnographic research project. The ongoing, reciprocal relationships developed with participants are considered essential in the data collection of ethnography, as an avenue through which research can be carried out. However, while friendships in the field may open new doors to research, they can also create new (ethical) chal…
Evaluation Findings from the Institute for Public Health and Faith Collaborations
OBJECTIVE: The Institute for Public Health and Faith Collaborations sought to cultivate boundary leadership to strengthen collaboration across religious and health sectors to address health disparities. This article presents findings from an evaluation of the Institute and its impact on participating teams of faith and public health leaders. METHODS: . Self-administered surveys were completed by participating team members (n = 243) immediately po…
An introduction to economic geography
The role of textbooks in human geography has been hotly debated in recent years. In particular, authors such as Johnston (2006, 2007) and Hubbard and Kitchen (2007) have pointed to the disciplinary politics at work in this increasingly vibrant sector of the academic publishing market, emphasising the ways in which textbooks are key ways of mobilizing support for particular intellectual and methodological approaches amongst students and other newc…

Facilitators, Challenges, and Collaborative Activities in Faith and Health Partnerships to Address Health Disparities
Interest in partnering with faith-based organizations (FBOs) to address health disparities has grown in recent years. Yet relatively little is known about these types of partnerships. As part of an evaluation of the Institute for Faith and Public Health Collaborations, representatives of 34 faith—health teams ( n = 61) completed semi-structured interviews. Interviews were tape recorded, transcribed, and coded by two members of the evaluation team…

Environmental Awareness and Sustainable Development in the Russian Federation
Drawing on empirical research from a qualitative study in the Russian Federation, this paper contributes to the limited academic literature on environmental awareness and sustainable development in Russia. Using data from nearly 100 interviews with firms, NGOs and environmental regulators, we explore current barriers to public environmental awareness and the avenues to sustainable development, in the context of a transition country. We conclude b…

Big society, little justice? Community renewable energy and the politics of localism
This paper challenges “Big Society (BS) Localism”, seeing it as an example of impoverished localist thinking which neglects social justice considerations. We do this through a critical examination of recent turns in the localist discourse in the UK which emphasise self-reliant communities and envisage a diminished role for the state. We establish a heuristic distinction between positive and negative approaches to localism. We argue that the Coali…
