“…Where respondent-led photography was used -at case study sites 1 (Simpson's) & 2 (Southwell) --the project methodology was inspired by recent work on dialogical modes of knowledge production and dissemination (Castleden et al, 2008;Zebracki and Luger, 2018) and the potential of 'solicited or elicited photography' (McCarthy, 2013) to penetrate the activities through which 'place meaning' is constituted. We were interested in the potential of such approaches to address the power imbalance in researcher-researched relationships, enabling participants to carry out their own representational work.…”

PurposeAs part of a wider ethnographic project that examines the significance of the public interest across three public and private sector UK planning organisations, this paper uses tea-drinking as a lens to understand structural forces around outsourcing and commercialisation. Reflecting across the five case studies, the analysis supports Burawoy's (2017) recent critique of Desmond's Relational Ethnography (2014). Using Perec's (1997[1973]) notion of the “infra-ordinary” as an anchor, it highlights the insight that arises from an intimate focus on mundane rituals and artefacts.Design/methodology/approachThe data were gathered through participant observation, chronicling the researchers' encounters with tea in each of the sites. A respondent-led photography exercise was successful at two sites. Up to 40 days of ethnographic fieldwork were carried out in each site.FindingsThe tea-drinking narratives, while providing an intact description of discrete case study sites, exist in conversation with each other, providing an opportunity for comparison that informs the analysis and helping us to understand the meaning-making process of the planners both in and across these contexts.Originality/valueThe paper contributes to critical planning literature (Murphy and Fox-Rogers, 2015; Raco et al., 2016), illuminating structural forces around outsourcing and commercialisation. It also generates methodological reflection on using an everyday activity to probe organisational culture and promote critical reflection on “weighty” issues across study sites.

“…These examples also demonstrate the intersections between digital media, religion, and gender. For example, some scholars have written about how social media allows for greater communication internationally and therefore can redefine what it means to "do" feminism (Baer 2016;Salime 2014;Tsuria 2020;Zebracki and Luger 2018). This not only has implications for the shared experiences of individuals within a religious community but could also potentially undergird moral concerns about technologies that have facilitated these changes.…”

Although social media use among religious communities is proliferating, significant gaps remain in our understanding of how religious minorities perceive social media in relation to their faith and community. Thus, we ask how individuals use religion to frame moral attitudes around social media for Jews and Muslims. Specifically, how does social media shape understandings of community? We analyze 52 interviews with Jews and Muslims sampled from Houston and Chicago. We find that Jews and Muslims view social media as a “double-edged sword”—providing opportunities to expand intracommunal ties and access to religious resources, while also diluting the quality of ties and increasing exposure to religious distractions. These findings help us understand what it is about being a religious minority in the US that might shape how individuals engage with social media. Moreover, they suggest that social media may be transforming faith communities in less embodied ways, a topic that is of particular relevance in our pandemic times.

“…“Digital geographies” has taken human geography by storm. Within the last five years, a flurry of activities have coalesced under its banner, including an eponymous edited collection ( Digital Geographies ; Ash et al 2018a); two specialty groups (the Digital Geographies Specialty Group of the American Association of Geographers and the Digital Geographies Working Group of the RGS‐IB); a burgeoning of titular publications (e.g., Ford and Graham 2016; Ash et al 2018b; Elwood and Leszczynski 2018; Wilson 2018; McLean et al 2019; Zebracki and Luger 2019; McLean 2020); increasing use of “digital geography/ies” as a keyword to tag research outputs (e.g., Brydolf‐Horwitz 2018; Deckeyser 2018; Jefferson 2018; Richardson 2018; Cook 2019; Farries and Sturm 2019; Jefferson 2018; Richardson 2018); a proliferation of new faculty searches and appointments in digital geographies across flagship geography departments; themed keynote addresses at conferences (e.g., Stephens 2019); and a newly launched journal, Digital Geography and Society .…”

Being genealogical in digital geographies

In this intervention, I trace the genealogies of the recent heralding of digital geographies as a boundary object for scholarship and scholars foregrounding the digital in geography. Building off of previous efforts to be technopositional in digital geographies, I make an entreaty for further being genealogical by attuning to the insider/outsider positionalities that have informed this particular endeavour of intellectual community‐making in Anglo‐American geography. While genealogy is not an exercise in historical narration, it works against dehistorical narratives of digital technologies and of the disciplinary frameworks within which they are engaged, destabilizes technopositional privileges, and has the potential to engender more inclusive digital geography futures.
