A "Token of Love": the role of emotions in student field trips teaching critical development geographies
Get PDFThis paper explores the roles and relationships of emotions in the promotion of critical development geographies, as engendered through a student field trip from a university in the so-called Global North to a country in the so-called Global South. Through a case-study involving a field trip led by the authors taking Masters students from the UK to Nepal, we find that emotions are integral to the pedagogical process and critical political potential of the trip. We show how emotions are central to the connections students create with people and places during the trip, and to their learning within it, particularly around questions of positionality, privilege and power. We highlight crucial emotions of curiosity and care, demonstrating however that these do not emerge out of nowhere, but rather can be deliberately cultivated by reflective pedagogies and practices. We argue that when conducted sensitively; involving reflective pedagogies and close collaborations, field trips to the so-called Global South can promote critical learning on questions of global justice, that are in line with demands to decolonize academia, geography and development geographies specifically
The lived experience of improvisation: in music, learning and life, Simon Rose [book review]
No full textHow bleak is the crow’s nest
No full textThe aperture through which we view prisons is narrow, distorted, and often boarded up. Life on the inside is shown to us through fleeting glimpses: in mainstream media, crime novels, and TV shows. This impersonal representation — a ‘lopsided story’ — is not only a poor likeness of prison life; it is, in the case of women’s prisons and prisoners, an empty landscape. Drastically under- and mis- represented, their voices are drowned out by the focus on the much larger male prison estate.
In this book, Rosalchen Whitecross anthologises the writing of 18 women prisoners at HMP Downview and HMP East Sutton Park in 2018; writing their own stories told in their own words. In doing so, this anthology writes into ‘the silence of the lived experiences’ of women prisoners, opening an important space for us to better understand prison life for women, and the treatment of women prisoners, in the UK’s criminal justice system. The women writers in this anthology use pseudonyms to protect their identities

The collection of essays and student projects in this publication gives an insight into the possibility of responding to hidden and reluctant histories of persecution and exile through visual, performative, conceptual and interactive means

Performance / Exile / Heritage (2015-2020) [REF2021 collection]
No full text‘Performance / Exile / Heritage’, undertaken in collaboration with Pascal Theatre Company (PTC) (London) and Coburg University (Germany), aims to respond to hidden and reluctant histories of persecution and exile through visual and performative means. It examines historical entanglements at a time when contemporary migration and refuge increasingly put western colonial histories into question, and seeks new affective/embodied modes of remembrance and re-discovery. The output ONE LOST STONE (2020) exemplifies the probing of affective/ embodied and choreo-visual practices in response to the histories of marginalised Jewish communities and heritage in the UK.
This collection documents a single-component output with contextualising information. The items provide evidence of the 300-Word Statement, Research Questions & Research Timeline, the output, which is the website "One Lost Stone", and contextualising information and publications : These include the "Beyond Forgetting" international symposium and the journal article "Whispering Secrets" on embodied heritage performance. The documentary and participant interviews of the project "Punti Di Fuga", and the documentation of the symposium "Theatre, Youth, Trauma and Europe in Crisis" form further part of the contextual material. The final 3 items provide further documentation of the "One Lost Stone" project, including sample videos and collages, workshop documentation and an overview of the project
