Population, policy and pragmatic principles as a recipe for progress
‘British Muslim children’s and parents’ views on halal school food: a participatory study’ by Sattar et al (2026) makes a useful contribution to the body of evidence on school food, provides another example of the utility of using creative methods to elicit insight in social science and has relevance to wider debates on the challenges of attending to the specific needs of minority populations through universal public services. The starting premis…
Perceptions of Poverty and Policy Preferences
The nature, causes and consequences of poverty have been debated for many years and remain controversial. However, some degree of consensus is a pre‐requisite for feasible, sustainable and effective policy responses to poverty. Research methods which can improve understanding of public attitudes towards poverty and identify potential areas of consensus are particularly valuable. Q methodology is a research tool which has the potential to identify…
Play for health and wellbeing

Conceptualising and evidencing the impact of play on health and wellbeing
While it is understandable that those who promote and practice play believe in its inherent worth, and assert that it enriches health and bolsters wellbeing, we need more than belief and assertion. Those who promote the role of play in advancing social progressivism need to find effective ways to challenge detractors who dismiss the role of play and who rail against equality, inclusion and diversity. We observe that those who challenge progressiv…
Paradox of poverty in the pursuit of a really useful Scottish geography
This contribution to the Applied Geographies series describes how geographical skills and knowledge are being used in Scotland to support the work of those tackling poverty in central government, local government, the Third Sector, and community groups. Opportunity is abundant for geography to contribute to the ambitious goal of eradicating child poverty in Scotland by 2030, recently described as a ‘national mission’ by the First Minister. Geogra…
Playing through crisis
In its COVID-19 Statement of April 2020, the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child recommended that States Parties explore alternative and creative solutions for children to enjoy their rights to rest, leisure, recreation, and cultural and artistic activities – rights, which along with the right to play, are encompassed in Article 31 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). This paper reflects on play in times of crisis, giving par…
Global Perspectives on the Absent Presence of Marginalised Children and Young People in the Public Realm
This paper introduces a collection of papers drawn from a session sponsored by the Geographies of Children, Youth and Families Research Group at the Annual International Conference of the RGS‐IBG in Cardiff (2018). This subsequent dossier seeks to advance our understanding of the ‘absent presence’ of marginalised children and young people in the public realm. The idea of an absent presence has permeated many fields of geographical scholarship and…
Looking ahead to the future of GeogEd
As part of the special issue marking the transition of the Higher Education Research Group to the Geography and Education Research Group, in this final paper we argue that the reformed group has a key role to play in promoting spaces of exchange between the communities of practice that have a stake in the shared endeavours of geography and education. We draw on structured conversations from the group’s launch event, existing literature, and our p…
From non-runner to parkrunner
Parkrun is a mass sporting community event which presents itself as a global social movement that aims to create a healthier and happier population. Existing research has explored the impact of parkrun on physical and mental wellbeing, and the mechanisms through which it may change physical activity behaviours. This paper draws upon a UK-wide survey of 8157 parkrunners to explore the subjective athletic identities of those who initially self-iden…
Geography teacher educators' perspectives on the place of children's geographies in the classroom
While many have extolled the benefits of incorporating children's geographies in school geography (Biddulph, 2012; Yarwood and Tyrell, 2012; Roberts, 2017), its place in the classroom is uncertain (Catling, 2011; Hammond, 2020). To gain a more nuanced understanding of how, and why, children's geographies are drawn upon and engaged with in school geography, this article examines the philosophies and experiences of geography teacher educators. In d…
Of a time and place
This paper reviews the work of the Glasgow Quality of Life Group, a limited life project (1986–1990) within the Applied Population Research Unit of the then Department of Geography and Topographic Science at the University of Glasgow. It explores the contribution of Ronan Paddison, and the wider innovations and impact of the group’s work. It argues that these innovations were methodological, strategic, and challenged the prevailing wisdom of the …
Understanding the parkrun community; sacred Saturdays and organic solidarity of parkrunners
This article focuses on parkrun, the multi-site weekly timed 5 km run, which operates around the world. Using Durkheim’s work on community, we use qualitative data from a survey of over 8000 parkrunners to make sense of the parkrun community. We argue that parkrun allows for an organic solidarity that celebrates the various moral rationales for participation. We suggest that this organic solidarity produces a collective effervescence that enables…
Conceptualising Austerity in Scotland as a Risk Shift
There is growing recognition that UK austerity measures impact adversely and more acutely on the most disadvantaged individuals, communities and groups. These changes may be understood as representing a shift of responsibility away from collectives to individuals. This paper explores these issues through the lens of risk analysis. Drawing on case study research from one neighbourhood in one Scottish local authority, it considers how the distincti…
Geographies for play in austere times

Playwork practitioners' perceptions of the impact on play of austerity in the UK
This paper compares playworkers’ perception of the extent to which Austerity has changed playworkers’ working environment, children's opportunities to play and the context within which play takes place in Scotland and SW England, regions which are understood to have divergent experiences in recent years. 351 playworkers completed a bespoke survey, comprising 33 questions, for which a variety of distributions modes were used and the result of whic…
Children's interdependent mobility
This paper discusses findings from Australian research that used a qualitative and participatory methods approach to understand how children develop and negotiate their everyday mobility. Children's mobility negotiations are discussed in reference to interactions with parents, peers and places; journeys in relation to their multi-modality, compositionality and temporality; and mobility formations in terms of ‘companionship’ – travel companions, c…
Tackling Child Poverty Locally
The 2010 Child Poverty Act placed new obligations to address child poverty upon each of the national governments in Britain and all of the local authorities in England and Wales. Local authorities in Scotland do not have the same legal requirement to tackle child poverty, but it is evident that their actions, in conjunction with local partners within the context of Community Planning Partnerships, will be critical to the success of the Child Pove…
Social Justice and Social Policy in Scotland
Social justice and social policy in Scotland offers a critical engagement with the state of social policy in one of the devolved nations of the UK, a decade after the introduction of devolution. Promoting greater social justice has been held up as a key vision of successive Scottish administrations since devolution began. It is argued throughout this important book that the analysis of Scottish social policy must therefore be located in wider deb…
Taking the High Road? Media and Public Attitudes Toward Poverty in Scotland
In democracies, public support is an important prelude to government-led anti-poverty strategies. Furthermore, tackling poverty is less likely to be achieved by government acting unilaterally. This is recognised by the Scottish Government in its Discussion Paper on Tackling Poverty, Inequality and Deprivation in Scotland, which states: ‘We need the support of all sections of society if we are to succeed in introducing effective measures efforts t…
Dismissing Disaffection
This article examines whether young people in a deprived area are disaffected with education, training and employment, or disengaged from participation in their community. It draws upon evidence from the Drumchapel Aspirations Survey, a study of the attitudes, aspirations and skills of young people from one of the most deprived areas of Glasgow. The study involved a survey of young people in two secondary schools in the Drumchapel area, and focus…

Writing Research Briefing Papers
A ‘Research Briefing Paper’ (also known as a Research Briefing or Briefing Paper) is a concise summary of research findings that is written for an informed, although not necessarily an expert, audience [1]. Typically, research briefing papers are presented as a four-page A4-sized pamphlet, printed on A3-sized paper which is folded at its mid-point to form a stapleless seam. Each paper reaches a clear conclusion based on evidence and concise argum…
Coming of age
Children feature prominently in migration, fertility and mortality studies and are evident in those more broadly‐based geographies which consider the importance of population to socio‐economic and environmental issues. However, it is argued that the population geography of childhood is a mirage, in that children are ever‐present, but never really there. Trends toward the pursuit of ‘peopled’ population geographies and the emergence of a (social) …

Kid Customer
The growth of commercial playgrounds in the UK is part of a broader process whereby ever greater realms of children's lives are commodified. McNeal's theory of the social group of children as a market is introduced as a framework through which commercial playgrounds may be understood. An introduction to commercial playgrounds and the project from which the article is derived sets the context for an analysis of how parents and children perceive an…
The Geography of Children
In an ideal world, this bibliography would present a summary list of published work that has enhanced the understanding of a global community of scholars whose interests revolve around children and childhood. More precisely, it would provide a reference resource on work that has explored the geographical dimensions of children’s lives. Instead, this bibliography offers the opportunity for the multidisciplinary and international audience of Childh…

Something for Everyone? An evaluation of the use of audio-visual resources in geographical learning in the UK
This paper reports from a survey of geographers in the UK that canvassed their experiences of using audio-visual resources to support teaching and learning. The survey results suggest that geographical learning has embraced audio-visual resources and that these are, on the whole, being employed effectively. Yet, very little expansion of audio-visual-based learning is anticipated. It is concluded that integration of audiovisual resources into the …

Teaching Geography to Non-geographers at Glasgow Caledonian University
This paper discusses the teaching of geography to 'non-geographers' at Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU). GCU is one of the so-called 'new' universities in the UK and it shares with many of these institutions a mission to facilitate access to groups that have traditionally been under-represented in higher education. Human geography is one of the six subject area streams within the interdisciplinary social sciences degree programme, although geo…

Equipped for the 21st Century
Mass consumption of image-capture and image-(re)presentation technologies affords opportunities for improved teaching and learning in disciplines which utilise audio-visual data. This paper reports on a survey of geography departments in the UK in which baseline data were collected on the availability, use and opinion on the role of audio visual resources (AVRs) in teaching and learning. AVRs are regarded positively and, on the whole, hardware is…

Multi-Method Research
This paper sets the context for four papers on multi-method research inpopulation geography. It begins by outlining the various ends to which multi-method research may be employed. The focus then shifts to the broader plane of method, epistemology, and research design. It is argued that epistemological position only determines how methods can be used: it does not preclude the use of particular methods. The possibilities for multi-method research …

What's the Big Deal? Resource and pedagogical implications of teaching geography to non-geographers
This paper introduces the theme of 'teaching geography to non-geographers'. It is set against the context of learning and teaching with the 'Other' in geography. At the outset a working definition of a 'non-geographer' is provided. The resource and pedagogical implications arising from teaching geography to non-geographers are then outlined. Finally, the contributions to this broader debate from the five case studies that comprise this JGHE sympo…
