(1/5) Really pleased to see this in ‘early view.’ The world is a very different place from when I started work on it (way back in 2015), but the issues covered remain just as relevant today as they were then

Resources for critical pedagogy to accompany @SamuelRStrong and Ed Kiely's #OpenAccess Antipode article "The Indexification of Poverty: The Covert Politics of Small-Area Indices" antipodeonline.org/the-critical-c…

My 'Fragments of the City' book is now available to freely download here. The book explores how paying attention to fragments might allow us to understand and change urban worlds: dro.dur.ac.uk/38576/1/38576.…

Hopefully useful for geographers and social scientists across the qual/quant divide interested in the politics of numbers, relative poverty, quantification, epistemic and state violence, and the UK’s Index of Multiple Deprivation specifically

Great to see this paper written with Ed Kiely out now @antipodeonline Looks at the challenges posed by the dominance of indexes in accounts of inequality, and outlines how a 'radical indexification' must take social justice as its organising principle doi.org/10.1111/anti.1…

Still sinking in the extent to which women’s voices have been silenced and dismissed. Sitting uncomfortably with my lack of surprise. Next question: how to build geography departments which are safe, accountable, generous and supportive?

These images erase the political subjectivity of food bank users, and deny the urgent political questions raised by escalating food bank usage; these denials are a crucial part of the broader politics of austerity that dehumanises those at the sharp end of the cuts (6/6)

And finally: this image of Iain Duncan Smith at a food bank donation point — his sharing a frame here with a volunteer naturalises and legitimises hunger as a matter of charity, rather than an issue of social justice (5/6)

What does austerity look like? New paper in @SocCultGeog examines austerity as a scopic regime and visually mediated phenomenon (1/6) tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
