Analytical leapfrogging? A conference presentation about ‘caring on the move
This paper discusses the idea of ‘analytical leapfrogging’ by considering how and why we can sometimes be tempted to jump over or ignore a more formal analytical phase in our research. It does this by discussing a vignette presented in a conference session relating to preliminary research on everyday mobilities, care and children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The paper offers some critical reflections on the implications…

Whose city? Which sociality
The Walkable City
This book explores everyday walking in contemporary urban life. It brings together important theoretical and empirical insights to understand how the ‘walkability’ of urban spaces can be imagined, planned for, and experienced. The book focuses on the everyday experiences of the urban walker, the bodily experiences of walking, and different walking research methods. It goes beyond the conventional focus on walkable places by delving into the ways …
Decolonising and provincializing knowledge within the neoliberal university? The challenge of teaching about sustainable transport
Accounting for care within human geography
Drawing on in‐depth interviews with first‐time parents in the city of Oxford, we offer a critical examination of how notions of care can transform practices of research and analysis within human geography. We argue care offers a committed practice of knowing and relating within research where data collection, analysis, and scholarly narratives are all implicated in the remaking of everyday worlds that, in turn, reveal a new terrain of political p…
Interdependent temporalities and the everyday mobilities of visually impaired young people
Co - Producing Mobilities
In an experimental session entitled Co-Producing Mobilities held at the 2014 Royal Geographical Society-Institute of British Geographers Annual Conference, 20 mobility scholars travelled around London on foot, by bus and by Tube to investigate how mobilities could be considered co-produced. In this paper, 18 participants reflect on this collaborative experiment and on how it influenced their thinking about mobilities, geographical knowledge and p…
The socialities of everyday urban walking and the ‘right to the city
This paper explores the socialities of everyday urban walking. The paper begins from the starting contention that a wide range of social and cultural theory, urban planning and transport literatures position walking as a practice that unproblematically encourages ‘social mixing’, ‘community cohesion’ and ‘social interaction’. Through the analysis of in-depth interview and diary data from research on urban walking in London, this paper engages wit…
Christians, out here?’ Encountering Street-Pastors in the post-secular spaces of the UK’s night-time economy
This paper explores the concept of the post-secular city by examining the growing presence of Street-Pastors in the night-time economy of British cities. Street-Pastors are Christian volunteers who work to ensure the safety of people on a ‘night out’. We contribute to work that has called for greater attention to be placed on the ways in which religious faith and ethics are performed to create liminal spaces of understanding in urban areas. Drawi…

Walking in the City
Concerns with walking cut across both policy and academic arenas, ranging from its promotion as a significant mode of sustainable transport to it being drawn upon as an artistic practice. However, there remains a disconnection between different bodies of research addressing different dimensions associated with walking, whereby a distinction can be drawn between understanding walking as a topic and subject to research and drawing upon walking as a…
I'm on Autopilot, I Just Follow the Route
Much urban and transport policy is based on a series of assumptions relating to predefined journeys informed by rational decision making. For example, the dominant focus of urban pedestrian policy is how the built environment is the primary influence on a person's decision to walk, with these decisions being made at a specific time and place somehow outside the practice of walking. Little attention is given to the importance of the processual and…
Reconnecting Skills for Sustainable Communities with Everyday Life
In this paper we review the current policy approach to skills and knowledge for sustainable communities. The aspatial and target-led nature of these approaches around the attainment of fixed skill sets is discussed and then contrasted with educationalist literatures which provide an alternative pedagogical approach to learning. That is, one that places a much greater emphasis on 'learners' as individuals and 'learning' as achieved through experie…
Sense and the city
Within UK pedestrian policy, walking is promoted as a sustainable mode of transport that benefits both the body and mind. However, much policy discussion assumes all walking to be the same and a largely self-evident means of transport, whilst many academic engagements with walking are highly abstract theorisations that lack any systematic empirical exploration of actual pedestrian practices. As such, there is little that unpacks the experiences o…
Stepping in Time
There is a well-documented emphasis within transport policy on speed and efficiency, with the benefits of transport schemes frequently assessed in these terms. The focus on reducing journey times is also evident in pedestrian policy, with the 'time-saving' attributes of walking often promoted. However, this emphasis on speed within the transport policy arena reflects linear understandings of time as nothing more than 'clock time' passing. In cont…
