Atkinson, D. (2007). Kitsch geographies and the everyday spaces of social memory. Environment & planning. A, 39(3), 521-540. https://doi.org/10.1068/a3866

Given recent developments in retheorising the spatialities of memory, in this study I move beyond established foci upon monuments and fixed sites of memory to consider some of the more ordinary places where memory erupts. In contrast to the high-prof... Read More about Kitsch geographies and the everyday spaces of social memory.

Managing sustainable farmed landscape through 'alternative' food networks: a case study from Italy (2006)
Journal Article

This paper focuses on a case study of an 'alternative' food network based in the Abruzzo National Park, Italy, to explore how ideas of sustainable farmland management can be expressed through broader understandings of developing networks of care conc...

Buffering of alkaline steel slag leachate across a natural wetland (2006)
Journal Article
Mayes, W. M., Younger, P. L., & Aumônier, J. (2006). Buffering of alkaline steel slag leachate across a natural wetland. Environmental Science and Technology, 40(4), 1237-1243. https://doi.org/10.1021/es051304u

Buffering of high-pH ( > 12) steel slag leachate is documented across a small, natural calcareous wetland. The alkaline leachate is supersaturated with respect to calcite upstream of the wetland (SI calcite values +2.3) and becomes less saturated wi...

Aesthetics, genetics, and evaluating animal bodies: locating and displacing cattle on show and in figures (2005)
Journal Article

In this paper I examine intertwined modes of bodily evaluation and genetic understanding evident in relation to 'modernising' tendencies in contemporary agriculture, using a case study of pedigree cattle breeding. These modes afford different perspec... Read More about Aesthetics, genetics, and evaluating animal bodies: locating and displacing cattle on show and in figures.

Although quarrying is often cited as a potential threat to wetland systems, there is a lack of relevant, quantitative case studies in the literature. The impact of pumped groundwater discharged from a quarry into a wetland area was assessed relative...
