The Walkable City Dimensions of Walking and Overlapping Walks of Life

The Walkable City Dimensions of Walking and Overlapping Walks of Life

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 in which urban space is consumed and produced through different ways of walking. Drawing on fieldwork in the UK and international secondary sources the book examines how walking is socially and materially co-produced focusing on pedestrian practices infrastructures and the social nature of walking. Chapters in the book offer key explorations of the cultural and social inclusions and exclusions of navigating the city on foot. The book considers transport planning and policy promoting pedestrian movement pedestrian infrastructures the politics of walking and social interactions of urban pedestrians. The book offers vital analyses of how different but overlapping dimensions of walking and their relationship with urban space are often overlooked and the importance of centring the lived experiences of walking in understandings of pedestrian practices. This book provides a timely contribution to the field of mobilities due to a growing interest in urban walking. It will be of interest to students and scholars of urban studies human geography sociology and public health. | The Walkable City Dimensions of Walking and Overlapping Walks of Life

Education in a Federal UK

Education in a Federal UK

Britain’s two recent referenda - on Brexit (2016) and on Scottish independence (2014) - have raised in the public mind fundamental questions about the future of the UK. It seems that for the first time the public the media and the political elite have woken up to the fact that in different parts of the UK there are different histories different aspirations and different imagined futures in relation to a whole range of vitally important political issues. But what the public debate often fails to recognise is that in many areas of public life – perhaps especially education – the UK is already a federal state and in key respects has been so for many years. The aim of this volume is therefore to take stock: to try and capture what the current state of educational policy and practice is across the whole of the UK. This has been achieved by commissioning two different papers from each of the four countries – Wales Scotland Northern Ireland and England. The first is an overview exploring the distinctive history principles and current policies of each country. The second paper has been specifically chosen as a case study of a key policy that highlights the distinctiveness of each country – the Foundation Phase for Wales assessment policy in Scotland ‘shared education’ initiatives in Northern Ireland and higher education policy in England. Taken together these eight papers give an important insight into the complexities of educational policy and practice across the whole of the UK today. This volume was originally published as a special issue of Oxford Review of Education. | Education in a Federal UK

Arts-Based Educational Research and Qualitative Inquiry Walking the Path

Arts-Based Educational Research and Qualitative Inquiry Walking the Path

Awarded QRSIG's Honerable Mention for 2021 2020 AESA Critics' Choice Book Award Winner Arts-Based Educational Research and Qualitative Inquiry introduces novice qualitative researchers within education and related fields to arts-based educational research (ABER). Abundant prompts and exercises are provided to help readers apply the concepts and experiment with various applications of the ideas presented. The authors walk the path with novice researchers offering a variety of approaches to the practice of arts-based methods while providing a guided overview of ABER and include pedagogical features in each chapter. Exercises are designed to assist educational researchers who wish to expand their repertoire of methodologies. The authors also weave into the discussion the possibilities and limitations of many types of arts-based methods while introducing readers to the growing methodological literature. By offering a tapestry of ways to engage the novice researcher the book illustrates that it is not always possible to separate cognitive findings from aesthetic knowing. This book will help qualitative researchers to expand their methodologies to include arts-based approaches to their projects and by doing so reshape their identities as qualitative researchers. It also offers some evaluative criteria and tool kits for experimenting with various arts and educational research. | Arts-Based Educational Research and Qualitative Inquiry Walking the Path

Music Festivals in the UK Beyond the Carnivalesque

Music Festivals in the UK Beyond the Carnivalesque

The outdoor music festival market has developed and commercialised significantly since the mid-1990s and is now a mainstream part of the British summertime leisure experience. The overall number of outdoor music festivals staged in the UK doubled between 2005 and 2011 to reach a peak of over 500 events. UK Music (2016) estimates that the sector attracts over 3. 7 million attendances each year and that music tourism as a whole sustains nearly 40 000 full-time jobs. Music Festivals in the UK is the first extended investigation into this commercialised rock and pop festival sector and examines events of all sizes: from mega-events such as Glastonbury Festival V Festival and the Reading and Leeds Festivals to ‘boutique’ events with maximum attendances as small as 250. In the past research into festivals has typically focused either on their carnivalesque heritage or on developing managerial tools for the field of Events Management. Anderton moves beyond such perspectives to propose new ways of understanding and theorising the cultural social and geographic importance of outdoor music festivals. He argues that changes in the sector since the mid-1990s such as professionalisation corporatisation mediatisation regulatory control and sponsorship/branding should not necessarily be regarded as a process of transgressive 'alternative culture’ being co-opted by commercial concerns; instead such changes represent a reconfiguration of the sector in line with changes in society and a broadening of the forms and meanings that may be associated with outdoor music events. | Music Festivals in the UK Beyond the Carnivalesque
