Passing Propinquities in the Multicultural City: the everyday encounters of bus passengering (2011)
Journal Article
Wilson, H. F. (2011). Passing Propinquities in the Multicultural City: the everyday encounters of bus passengering. Environment and Planning A, 43(3), 634-649. https://doi.org/10.1068/a43354

This paper examines how intercultural relations are continuously developed, destroyed, and remade in the practice of everyday bus travel. Through an ethnographic study of one bus route across Birmingham, UK, the paper explores the formation of relati...

Anticipation, Materiality, Event: The Icelandic Ash Cloud Disruption and the Security of Mobility (2011)
Journal Article

The concept of well-being has become prominent within national policy goals in the UK since the end of the 1990s. However, the concept of well-being remains ill defined, an instability that is increasingly understood as problematic to policy making....

Risk-based modelling of diffuse land use impacts from rural landscapes upon salmonid fry abundance (2011)
Journal Article
Reaney, S., Lane, S., Heathwaite, A., & Dugdale, L. (2011). Risk-based modelling of diffuse land use impacts from rural landscapes upon salmonid fry abundance. Ecological Modelling, 222(4), 1016-1029. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2010.08.022

Research has demonstrated that landscape or watershed scale processes can influence instream aquatic ecosystems, in terms of the impacts of delivery of fine sediment, solutes and organic matter. Testing such impacts upon populations of organisms (i.e... Read More about Risk-based modelling of diffuse land use impacts from rural landscapes upon salmonid fry abundance.

Journal Article
Meyerhoff, E., Johnson, E., & Braun, B. (2011). Time and the University. ACME: An International E-Journal for Critical Geographies, 10(3), 483-507

Over the past twenty years, university administrators in North America, Europe and elsewhere have used the apparent ‘crisis’ in higher education as an opportunity to roll out neoliberal policies. For many working in the academy, the effect has been f... Read More about Time and the University.

The subject at rest: novel conceptualizations of self and brain from cognitive neuroscience's study of the 'resting state' (2011)
Journal Article
Callard, F., & Margulies, D. (2011). The subject at rest: novel conceptualizations of self and brain from cognitive neuroscience's study of the 'resting state'. Subjectivity, 4(3), 227-257. https://doi.org/10.1057/sub.2011.11

The neuroscientific field of ‘resting state’ research has been described as heralding a paradigm shift in functional neuroimaging. As this new field has been central to the development of a cognitive neuroscientific theory of inner mental life, we he...

The double-occupation of Palestine (2011)
Journal Article
Marshall, S. (2011). The double-occupation of Palestine. Human geography, 4(1),

This article argues that the recent calm the West Bank is currently experiencing results from the US-Israeli strategy of outsourcing the disciplinary power of the occupation to the Palestinian Authority (PA).
