Really enjoyed this paper on diary methods in research: bit.ly/3RJ4P4b Reminded me of an amazing talk by Tony Coxon on diary research with MSM during 80s HIV/AIDS epidemic. The insights transformed public health understanding. I’ve never used diaries but often think about the power of the method.

📖 Weekend reading! Researching poverty should aim to challenge poverty - and create opportunities for meaningful participation by people who live with its unjust effects. We were pleased that our research was highlighted in this new paper. bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journal...

Cover of a report by the Scottish Women's Budget Group and The Poverty Alliance - called 'It's hard work being poor' - Women's experiences of the cost-of-living crisis in Scotland. November 2002. There's a cartoon image of a young woman scratching her head and looking worried, surrounded by objects suggesting all the thoughts on here mind - like shopping, money, things in her calendar, and keeping the house going.

How can speculative fiction become a research method? This new article explores four approaches: close reading existing sci-fi, analysing how stories influence real policies, inviting participants to write their own futures, and researchers creating speculative narratives. doi.org/10.1332/3050...

Loving the theme of this year’s #RGS2025! If you are using creative methods for geography research we are the journal for you! Learn more about us bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/journals/jou...

Geographies of creativity/creative geographies.

"Whether it’s the capacity to create new places out of old, or new spatial relations where none existed before, or to create beautiful things – artworks, writing, architecture, music, dance – in places and across spaces, creativity seems almost too fundamental to focus on.

But what are the spatialities of creativity?

The geographies of creative practice – how artwork sustains globalised flows of money for example, or how music reshapes buildings and bodies, or how creative writing nurtures geopolitics – are sometimes hard to theorise and bear witness to.

Yet creative practice is crucial both to physical processes and to human experiences: we need to understand it.

More fundamentally, if there sometimes seems to be too little creativity in our habitually over-consuming world, how do geographers become more creative? Is 21st-century geography a truly creative discipline?

At a time when our world really needs a creative vision, to deal with new challenges in new ways, this conference theme asks for nothing less than a creative re-visioning of our discipline."

Patricia Noxolo, University of Birmingham, UK.

🌞 Today’s haiku: from heat and stillness there pulled a river of light - blue mountains breathing Inspired by The purple noon’s transparent might (1896) by Arthur Streeton. #Haiku #Poetry #BlueSkyPoets

An impressionist painting by Arthur Streeton showing a sweeping view of the Hawkesbury River valley in New South Wales. The river glimmers in bands of blue and gold beneath a pale sky, flanked by trees and open farmland. In the distance, the hazy Blue Mountains rise under a shimmering heat. The work captures a sense of vastness, stillness, and poetic light.
