This paper contributes an ‘ownership perspective’ to the spectrum of labour environmentalist enquiries, and positions environmental labour geographies within a wider political economy of transformation. The paper explores the concept of energy democracy as a trade union strategy that pursues the social and economic ownership and democratic governance of energy systems and resources. Empirically, the paper presents the case study of Trade Unions for Energy Democracy (TUED), as an ‘actually existing’ initiative of labour environmentalism, contextualising its emergence and enduring relevance in terms of its approach to ownership vis-à-vis justice-oriented demands, and exploring its geographies through a strategy of spatially specific mobilising and regionally focused movement building. The paper investigates how the TUED network has developed a transnational, labour-inclusive framework of energy democracy as labour environmentalism, by promoting democratic control and the social, public and collective ownership of energy systems and resources as tangible solutions to address the climate emergency. The paper also establishes how the TUED network creates radical geographies of labour environmentalism, through the varied mobilisation of its participating unions in their specific local and regional contexts around actually existing opportunities for policy and political intervention. The paper concludes that the question of ownership is a fundamental one for environmental labour movements and their geographies, and one that shifts the emphasis of labour environmentalist thinking towards the democratisation of labour environmental ownership relations.

Visualising and mapping historical networks of international diplomatic training
IF 1.6 2区 社会学 Q2 GEOGRAPHY Pub Date : 2024-11-11 DOI: 10.1111/area.12984
Jonathan Harris

What might methodological approaches drawing on Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Social Network Analysis (SNA) offer to sub-disciplines in geography which have traditionally been dominated by qualitative and often micro-scale research, such as historical or political geography? How might these approaches—often understood as opposing—be brought together to advance transnational research in particular? This article responds to these questions through a reflection on a recent project on the geopolitics of diplomatic training in the mid-twentieth century. Building on the established use of biography to focus transnational analyses within a complex abundance of sources, the project complemented such close-reading with computational methods of distant-reading, able to analyse large datasets to produce prosopographies and network visualisations that help identify diffuse and larger scale political and geographical relationships. The article concludes with a consideration of how such methods might be effectively integrated in the historical or political geographer's toolkit.

(Pragmatist) geographies of rankings
IF 1.6 2区 社会学 Q2 GEOGRAPHY Pub Date : 2024-11-05 DOI: 10.1111/area.12980
Gerhard Rainer

As a rapidly growing interdisciplinary literature has argued, rankings have become a key means of valuation in contemporary society. However, the majority of the work focuses on rankings in only a few areas, and even if spatial aspects play a role in the interdisciplinary literature, the number of explicitly geographical works on rankings is surprisingly low. Against this backdrop, in this paper I aim firstly to flesh out a pragmatism-inspired geographical perspective on rankings. Secondly, using the example of wine rankings, I will ask the question as to how the growing importance of rankings has changed valuation schemes. The wine industry is particularly well suited to this, as nominal classifications in the form of designations of origin have historically played a central role here. A pragmatist, geographical perspective on ordinal ordering processes illustrates that rankings evoke both economic and geographical realities; they do this not only through the ranking processes as such, but also through observation of and engagement with rankings by different actors. In the case of wine, local/regional specificity is an inherent part of the world of rankings—be it through the fact that ranking processes build on (embodied) geographically contextualised knowledge of wine judges, through the possibilities of using (or not using) (different) rankings for different markets by wine producers, or through the balance between the marketing of wine through rankings and the suitability of those very wines for the specific markets in which they are to be sold. This is perhaps the biggest difference compared with other fields in which the importance of rankings has increased considerably—in particular, higher education. It helps to explain why the historically significant valuation scheme of geographical origin has not lost any of its significance, despite the increase in the importance of rankings in the world of wine.

Pedals and throttles: Ride-along experimental journeys with Hanoi's cyclo and motorbike taxi drivers
IF 1.6 2区 社会学 Q2 GEOGRAPHY Pub Date : 2024-10-30 DOI: 10.1111/area.12978
Sarah Turner, Binh N. Nguyen

In this article, we analyse the effectiveness of ride-alongs, a specific mobile method, to better understand the daily realities of informal mobile livelihoods in Hanoi, Vietnam. The field of mobile methods has seen significant advances both within and beyond geography. Yet, there is still an absence of literature comparing the benefits and drawbacks of using a consistent mobile method across different forms of mobility in the same context, such as pedal-powered versus motorised transport. Additionally, studies specifically addressing the daily experiences of informal cyclo (trishaw) drivers in Vietnam are scarce. Our paper aims to fill these gaps by evaluating the effectiveness of ride-along interviews in understanding the mobility and livelihood challenges faced by informal cyclo and motorbike taxi (xe ôm) drivers in Hanoi, who navigate the city's dense and chaotic traffic to earn a living. Ride-alongs provide a unique perspective on the city's informal transportation sector, uncovering new insights into the nuanced micro-mobilities and rapid decision-making required of these drivers. Cyclo drivers navigate Hanoi's streets with considerations for tourist appeal, physical exertion, and police avoidance. Meanwhile, xe ôm drivers manoeuvre through alleyways and roads, balancing efficiency, speed, and passenger demands. Both groups are concerned with circumventing often-corrupt police, managing local traffic conditions, and adapting to changing weather patterns. This comparative study reveals the benefits and insights gained from ride-along interviews with mobile informal economy workers, highlighting the similarities and differences in the choices and tactics these drivers employ. The method allows for a deeper understanding of how vehicle type, physical demands, and the socio-political environment shape the split-second decisions these drivers must make to maintain their livelihoods on Hanoi's streets.

Feminist visualisation challenges: Methodological innovation, opportunities, and lessons learned

Kate Coddington, Jill M. Williams

In this paper, we detail the process of organising and facilitating a visualisation challenge as part of a larger project centring visual methods. We explore how the visualisation challenge specifically operated to highlight feminist epistemological and methodological principals, and practically, what worked and what didn't. We conclude that visualisation challenges offer exciting potential to jumpstart creative and innovative project development, but if a challenge is to be successful, context matters, and so too do practical and logical considerations. We believe that feminist visualisation challenges offer exciting models to share findings and data, learn from emerging research practices, and build community within and beyond the academy.

Training young co-researchers to interview their parents: The transformative potential of intergenerational interviews

Catherine Walker, Ellen van Holstein

The turn to co-production in geographical research is underpinned by the social justice aim to democratise academic practice, and in recent years this has extended to training young people as co-researchers. However, discussions of intergenerational dynamics in co-produced research are limited, and there are no accounts of family members interviewing one another. This paper responds to this oversight by presenting a reflective account of a research project centring on intergenerational family discussions and negotiations of climate change knowledge, in which young co-researchers interviewed parents. We share key considerations for developing bespoke interview training and preparing co-researchers to undertake interviewing, and we highlight the strengths and opportunities of intergenerational interviews in families. Our core contention is that, when planned and supported with tact and consideration, intergenerational interviews can boost young people's confidence in their skills and generate rich dialogues that may lead to decisions and outcomes that will outlive the research. However, engaging co-researchers and their pre-existing familial relationships in research requires careful consideration, practical training, and ongoing reflection, because these relationships are defined by intergenerational dynamics that precede and outlast the research.

Making the case for ‘care-full’, ‘slower’ research: Reflections on researching ethically and relationally using mobile phone methods with food-insecure households during the COVID-19 pandemic 为 "全面"、"缓慢 "的研究提供依据:在 COVID-19 大流行期间使用手机方法对粮食无保障家庭进行伦理和关系研究的思考

This paper reflects on the research process and ethics of doing research with low-income households in Stoke-on-Trent, UK, during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork with five mothers experiencing food insecurity, I argue that it is imperative that researchers employ ‘care-full’, slow, flexible methodologies situated within everyday lives to ensure that research with vulnerable and precarious groups of people is not exploitative, especially during times of crisis. The emergency public health measures introduced to contain COVID-19 in March 2020 acted like a brake on my research activities, slowing things down, limiting the methods available to me, and ultimately, provoking a reimagining of my original research design. I make two contributions. First, building on feminist geographical scholarship on care and reflexivity, and calls for ‘slow’ research that prioritises the shifting needs of researchers and participants, I suggest adopting a relational approach to take account of participant subjectivities in order to minimise disruption in their everyday lives. Second, through discussing the ways in which I employed the mobile phone to continue gathering data with participant mothers during COVID-19, I build on nascent geographical and methodological conversations about the role of technologies in the design and implementation of care-full research. In highlighting the limitations of the mobile phone as a research device in this context, I extend current limited understandings of utilising mobile phones to gather data in the course of conducting research with marginalised people.

本文反思了在冠状病毒(COVID-19)大流行期间与英国斯托克特伦特低收入家庭开展研究的过程和伦理。通过对五位面临粮食不安全问题的母亲进行人种学实地调查,我认为,研究人员必须在日常生活中采用 "全心全意"、缓慢、灵活的方法,以确保对弱势和不稳定人群的研究不具有剥削性,尤其是在危机时期。2020 年 3 月,为遏制 COVID-19 而推出的紧急公共卫生措施就像我研究活动的制动器,减缓了工作进度,限制了我可用的方法,并最终引发了我对最初研究设计的重新构想。我的贡献有两点。首先,基于女性主义地理学对关爱和反思性的研究,以及对 "慢 "研究的呼吁,我建议采用一种关系型方法,考虑到参与者的主体性,以尽量减少对他们日常生活的干扰。其次,通过讨论我在 COVID-19 期间使用手机继续与参与者母亲收集数据的方式,我在新的地理和方法论对话的基础上,探讨了技术在设计和实施全护理研究中的作用。通过强调手机作为研究设备在这种情况下的局限性,我扩展了目前对在与边缘化人群开展研究的过程中利用手机收集数据的有限理解。

This short paper introduces a special section exploring how human geographers use research notebooks. It outlines why a fuller exchange about how exactly we do ethnographic note-taking in human geography is worthwhile, and describes a series of conference sessions in which a group of human geographers took the relatively bold step of showing each other examples of what could be found inside their notebooks. It also provides an overview of how the papers in the special section might help us all to consider the variety of options available to us when we choose to work in this way.

I say a little prayer for me: Poetry as spiritual self-care in the ethnographic field 我为自己祈祷诗歌作为人种学领域的精神自我关怀

How do we make sense of our place in the field as researchers and as sexual, spiritual beings? Ethnographic fieldwork is central to several disciplines, including geography. It involves the researcher encountering and gathering stories and meanings through interaction with people's lived experiences in settings that are often not the researcher's own. Although rarely strain-free, fieldwork is seen as a transformative experience, both from the personal and the academic point of view. This paper, situated at the intersection of geography, queer/ing practices, and ethnographic methodology, explores poetry as a form of self-care in the field. In recent years, poetry has emerged as a creative and productive mode of representation and (co-)interpretation of qualitative data. Based on my own spiritual experience(s) while conducting fieldwork in Spain, I consider prayer cards as a poetic form and a means through which issues of self-care and spiritual self-preservation are made visible, particularly when experienced within a social environment that is hostile to LGBTQ+ lived experiences of faith.

作为研究者和性灵的存在,我们如何理解自己在田野中的位置?人种学田野调查是包括地理学在内的多个学科的核心。它涉及到研究者在通常不属于自己的环境中,通过与人们的生活经验互动,接触并收集故事和意义。虽然田野调查很少是毫无压力的,但无论从个人角度还是从学术角度来看,田野调查都被视为一种变革性的体验。本文位于地理学、同性恋实践和人种学方法论的交叉点,探讨了诗歌作为田野工作中的一种自我保健形式。近年来,诗歌已成为一种具有创造性和生产力的定性数据表示和(共同)解释模式。基于我在西班牙进行田野调查时的灵性体验,我认为祈祷卡是一种诗歌形式,也是使自我保健和灵性自我保护问题显现出来的一种手段,尤其是在对 LGBTQ+ 的信仰体验充满敌意的社会环境中。

This article introduces a special section comprising papers examining the evolution, current state and potential futures of the subdiscipline of health geography. Geographers’ engagement with ‘health’ has transformed from a strict rooting in the ‘(bio)medical’, coinciding with, and contributing to, a paradigm shift emphasising a recognition of health as multifaceted and shaped by everyday experiential spatial practices, rhythms and identities. The development of this area of geographic scholarship, we argue, has been inextricably linked to the simultaneous growth of the Geographies of Health and Wellbeing Research Group (GHWRG) of the Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers), founded in 1972. Celebrating this golden jubilee, the Research Group initiated a project reflecting on how geographical knowledge on health has been produced and the networks that have influenced thinking. This coincided with an additional anniversary, the twentieth iteration of the ‘Emerging and New Researchers in the Geographies of Health & Impairment’, a conference developed to support new conversations relating to geographical scholarship around ‘health’, playing an important role in the development of ideas, scholarship and community since its inception in 1994. In introducing this special section, we underscore the importance of geographic interrogations of health for addressing contemporary challenges and providing interdisciplinary contributions. The articles in the collection delve into conceptual, theoretical and methodological developments that have shaped health geography, featuring work showcasing the breadth and depth of research within the subdiscipline. Complementing these empirical pieces, the special section traces the history of the GHWRG and its contributions, alongside interviews and conversations with scholars who have played pivotal roles in shaping the evolution of the subdiscipline. Overall, we are keen to celebrate health geography scholarship, question how academic networks shape thinking about interrelationships between health and place, and reflect on potential future directions for geographical scholarship on health and wellbeing.

这篇文章介绍了一个特别部分,其中的论文探讨了健康地理学这一分支学科的演变、现状和潜在未来。地理学家对 "健康 "的研究已经从严格扎根于"(生物)医学",转变为强调健康是多方面的,是由日常的空间实践、节奏和身份形成的,这与范式的转变不谋而合,也促进了范式的转变。我们认为,这一地理学术领域的发展与 1972 年成立的英国皇家地理学会(与英国地理学家学会共同成立)健康与福祉地理学研究小组(GHWRG)的同步发展密不可分。为庆祝成立五十周年,该研究小组发起了一个项目,反思有关健康的地理知识是如何产生的,以及对其产生影响的网络。该会议旨在支持与 "健康 "相关的地理学术新对话,自 1994 年成立以来,在思想、学术和社区发展方面发挥了重要作用。在介绍这一特别部分时,我们强调了对健康进行地理审视对于应对当代挑战和提供跨学科贡献的重要性。文集中的文章深入探讨了影响健康地理学发展的概念、理论和方法,展示了该分支学科研究的广度和深度。作为对这些实证性文章的补充,特刊部分追溯了全球健康与妇女研究小组的历史及其贡献,同时还对在塑造该分支学科的发展过程中发挥了关键作用的学者进行了采访和对话。总之,我们热衷于庆祝健康地理学术研究,质疑学术网络如何塑造健康与地方之间相互关系的思维,并思考健康与福祉地理学术研究的未来潜在方向。
