Welcome and introduction
Dear Colleague,
Welcome to the conference. We are delighted to be in
Edinburgh for what promises to be a most interesting,
stimulating and enjoyable few days.
I want to take this opportunity to recognise and thank Chris
Philo for the commitment and direction he has shown as
Conference Chair. Thanks also to Charlie Withers and Jane
Jacobs for all their advice and local knowledge which has
been invaluable; and Cheryl Willis and all the postgraduates
for PGF-ACTS. The hard work that Joy, Stephanie, Lucy
and Catherine, and all the Society staff in front of and behind
the scenes, put into the conference, as ever, deserves huge
thanks. Most of all I want to thank all of you - delegates,
presenters, chairs, convenors, discussants, leaders of field
experiences, Research Group committee members - for
your contributions and your commitment to be here. You
make this conference happen.
The conference theme - the security of geography /
geography of security - is particularly fitting. While it has
often been stated that we live in uncertain times, there is
absolutely no question that these are particularly uncertain
times, for geography and for the world in which we live.
The Society exists for one broad purpose only - to advance
geography. Arguably with the changes happening in
university and school education, and in research funding,
the Society's advocacy role to advance geography with
decision-makers is more important today than ever. We
work, with you, to give the subject a strong, influential and
effective voice.
For the last few months there seems to have been no
respite in our work to ‘secure’ geography. We have been
involved in discussions about the new school curriculum in
England; in securing funding for teaching and learning of
geography in higher education with HEFCE (supporting
similar arguments in Scotland too); and in the ESRC
International Benchmarking Review of Human Geography,
which has just finished its evaluation phase, with the Panel’s
report expected in September. To all of you who contributed

Welcome and introduction
to the various aspects of this work, a very sincere thank you.
I look forward to discussing these initiatives with you
individually over the next few days and also in the session
on ‘Security of Geography: Geography and Education’ on
Wednesday (Session 4).
Many of you freely and generously give us your time, advice
and subject-based expertise to support our work; and
partner with us on projects that share geographical
understanding across our networks and communities -
schools, community groups, policy makers, the public,
business and the media. I thank all of you whose
involvement helps us to have an impact and advance
geography with many different audiences. As you know, we
also support the research and higher education community,
often in partnership with research groups, with events,
workshops, grants, publications and online resources, and
more.
The Society’s work has grown substantially in recent years,
such that now each year we have to raise about £5 million
just to maintain our current activities. The most sustainable
source of funds is the subscriptions from our membership.
Many of you are Fellows and the Society extends a sincere
thank you for your support because it makes a real
difference. For those who are not Fellows or members,
please join us and support our work for geography. It costs
around £2 per week on average - less than a cup of coffee!
Fellowship also gives you a voice and vote in the Society,
and this matters. We are an active democracy and the
Council members, who take the final decisions over the
Society's strategy and direction, are elected from within, and
by, the Fellowship. The Fellowship is broad and all voices in
it need to be heard.

Director, RGS-IBG

Welcome and Introduction
1. Welcome from the Chair of the RGS-IBG
Annual Conference
It is a great pleasure to welcome everyone to the 2012 Annual
Conference, and it is an honour to have been nominated as Chair of
Conference. I have many fond memories of ‘Conference’, and I had
managed an unbroken record of attendance from the Durham ‘IBG’ in
January 1984 through to the mid-2000s (when extended research leave to
Canada and other life-course changes intervened). The landscape of
academic geography – what and how we research and teach, forms of
research assessment and governance, and much more besides – has
changed dramatically over that period, and to an extent Conference has
needed to shift in response, not least in the highly proactive role taken by
the RGS-IBG in its organisation and structure. Nonetheless, I firmly
believe that this annual meeting retains a vital role for British geographers
(and, of course, overseas visitors) to profile their scholarly
accomplishments, to engage with one another’s most current work, and
both to reflect back and cast forward in terms of where our discipline (and
its many offshoots) has recently been and where it may be about to move.
For me, Conference certainly functions as a catalyst for ideas,
programmes and projects, as a crucial contact point between established
and early-career researchers, and also as an opportunity to make and reaffirm
the personal relationships which, in our increasingly competitive and
time-disciplined academic habitus, are arguably harder to sustain than
maybe once was the case.
It is a pleasure as well to welcome Conference to Edinburgh, the capital
city of Scotland and a place of deep history, imbued with connections to
matters of enlightenment, learning and indeed the pursuit of geographical
inquiry, as Charles Withers has reminded us with characteristic erudition in
various writings. 1 One way in which I am personally envisioning this year’s
Conference is as a distributed conference, partly because it is taking its triannual
foray out of London to another corner of the UK and is hence
‘distributed’ from its normal ecological niche (of Kensington Gore in
London). This notion also appeals to me because it captures a sense of
Conference as distributed in various ways, with pulses of life ‘all over the
place’ and not merely in some central hallways. Indeed, perhaps more so
this year than in others, Conference arrives both as an exciting core of
timetabled activities in the rooms centrally booked for the event and as a
mix of many other activities, not just field-trips and field-walks – although,
most pleasingly, we do have those taking place – but also a plethora of
smaller-scale happenings, mini-conferences, symposia, site visits and the
like, some not in but en route to Edinburgh, which have been set up by

Welcome and Introduction
Research Groups, the Postgraduate Forum (whose invaluable PGF-ACTS
training symposium will run on the Monday) and other collectives. For me,
all of these activities can be badged under Conference, indicating that
‘Conference’ itself has become more than just the central formalities –
important as those remain – and rather takes on the quality of an
expanded occasion, a distributed network rather than a singular node,
emblematic perhaps of what might be termed a ‘post-institutional’
discipline (still reliant on institutional forms but now potentially entailing so
much more besides). Such a perspective will also be present, I anticipate,
in the ‘civic geographies’ exhibition and panel discussion that I have had
the pleasure of convening along with Kye Askins and Ian Cook. Many if
not all of the distributed activities to which I have just alluded are
referenced in this Conference Programme.
The theme that I have selected for this year’s conference, security of
geography / geography of security, seeks to explore the intersections
between geography and security, working between: an ‘inward-looking’
concern for the well-being of geographical research, learning, teaching
and communication; and an ‘outward-looking’ concern for how worldly
geographies are deeply implicated in achieving or compromising the
security of environments, peoples and communities. I have already written
elsewhere 2 about the theme, and a free-to-access virtual collection has
been made available of recent papers from the RGS-IBG’s journals, which
spiral around this theme. 3 A key claim, however, might be that in both
regards – the inward-facing (concerning geography itself) and the outwardfacing
(concerning the wider world) – the solution to fears about insecurity
should not be a knee-jerk circling of the wagons: the rush to draw and
police boundaries that neatly ring-fence, on the one hand, geography as a
subject/discipline, or, on the other hand, portions of ‘real’ socialeco-political
space whose borders are then sealed against supposedly
unwanted others (whether people, objects or ideologies). In highly
condensed fashion, my own suspicion is that security can never be
guaranteed through such acts of segregation, but can only be approached
by an alternative ‘geographical imagination’ (to echo the theme of last
year’s conference) dependent upon reaching out, engaging, touching,
being with and for others. It is about strengthening the connective sinews
with other subjects/disciplines, scholars and institutions to enhance
geography’s own security; and, as perhaps a small but decisive
contribution to worldly security, it requires – to paraphrase H.J. Fleure from
a long-forgotten textbook – ‘the student of geography’ learning that ‘the
lives of people are bound up with the little bit of earth that is given to each
to love, understanding the links that bind them there,’ while also being
deeply attentive to the very different ones that bind them and their fellow
peoples in all lands. 4

Welcome and Introduction
I have been fortunate to be able to convene, with assistance from some of
the RGS-IBG Research and Working Groups, a four-timeslot session on
‘Geographies of (in)security’; and we have been able to assemble an
impressive line-up of presenters who will be addressing this thematic
across a range of landscapes, places and spatial scales (if I can still speak
of ‘scales’), with contributions on diverse forms of (in)securities pertaining
to physical environments, ‘natural’ resources, political territories and the
‘closer-in’ spaces of everyday social life, emotions and bodies. There are
three high-profile plenary lectures co-convened by myself as Chair in
conjunction with other bodies which clearly link to the Conference theme:
Simon Dalby on ‘environmental (in)security’ 5 (supported by funds from the
30th International Geographical Union); Susan J. Smith on ‘insecurity at
home’ (with the Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers); and
Charles Withers on ‘cosmopolitanism and enlightenment’ (with the Scottish
Geographical Journal). There are then several lectures convened by other
major geographical journals, some if not all of which chime across to the
Conference theme: Nick Clifford on ‘securing physical geography under
globalisation’ (Progress in Physical Geography); Klaus Dodds on ‘popular
geopolitics of insecurity’ (Geopolitics); Stuart Elden on ‘securing vertical
geopolitics’ (Political Geography); Katherine Gibson on ‘securing
community economies’ (Antipode); Rachel Pain on ‘domestic violence and
insecurity’ (Social & Cultural Geography); Kirsten Simonsen on ‘new
humanism and critical geography’ (Progress in Human Geography); and
Eyal Weizman on ‘forensic architecture’ (Society and Space). I am
delighted (even humbled) at just how many of the other sessions,
organised by Research and Working Groups or other collectives, are also
addressing the conference theme in one way or another, for which I
extend my deep thanks to the convenors and presenters involved. It is
important that not all sessions are so orientated, of course, and it is hence
to the good that there are also sessions growing out of quite other
interests, trajectories and agendas, to my mind very obviously
demonstrating the extraordinary health and vision of the Research and
Working Groups and others (as well as the overall vitality of the UK’s
academic geography community).
Another plenary session – one which I felt it essential for Conference to
include, but where my thanks lie with Rita Gardner, Jim Hanson, Derek
Fabel, Stephen Royle and Mike Woods for making it happen – concerns
‘geography and education’, or more specifically the securing of geography
as a subject/discipline in and, crucially, between schools and higher
education. Echoing the first arm of my Conference theme, I do think that
geographers operating in the university sector (and elsewhere) must
always be attentive to, and if possible make interventions within, the
teaching of geography at school-level, and of how national curricula,

Welcome and Introduction
teaching agendas and methods, school student interests, aptitudes and
objectives, and more besides, all impact upon the future health of
geography as taught (and, ultimately, researched) in universities. To
debate such matters should not lead to a defensive posture, the circling of
the wagons mentioned earlier, but rather a constructive outreach not in the
spirit of geographical ‘imperialism’ (our subject/discipline seeking to annex
others!) but of demonstrating the inescapable centrality of a geographical
sensibility to the efforts of all other subjects/disciplines when endeavouring
to understand, explain and act within the wider world. (And, to be honest,
such a stance is pretty much the one that I take as a professional
geographical scholar when justifying my own approach to ‘geography’,
notably in inter- or cross-disciplinary engagements.) Valuably, at
Conference we also have a further journal-sponsored plenary lecture that
will address a related set of questions for ‘geography and education’:
namely, that by Rachel Spronken-Smith on ‘securing futures for geography
graduates’ (Journal of Geography in Higher Education).
I wish to highlight three further aspects of this year’s Conference. The first
is the production of testimonial theatre by Caleb Johnston and Geraldine
Pratt, which is an innovative vehicle for conveying the claustrophobic
geographies of boredom, exploitation, loneliness and longing experienced
by live-in Filipino workers in Canada. 6 The second is the performance of
several compositions by Drew Mulholland which will occur during the
Monday night reception, to which all delegates are warmly invited. Drew
Mulholland is an experimental electronic musician now electing to work
with acoustic instrumentation, and in 2008 he was a Composer-in-
Residence at the University of Glasgow composing works of what he has
chosen to term ‘musical psychogeography’. 7 The third is our conference
‘logo’: this black-and-white evocation of Edinburgh Castle by Susie Wright,
an illustrator and printmaker, who confesses to “have always had an
interest in geography and landscape,” and also to “enjoy[ing] making
people the space around them.” 8 For me, Susie Wright’s rendering of
Edinburgh Castle – historically a site of militarised security, its massive
walls speaking of a ‘colonial’ power that simultaneously protects and
threatens – neatly softens the boundaries, converting a solid mass of
stone (natural and built) into a more fragile, spidery, somehow more
spectral presence. It is hence a play on the geographies of (in)security
that, to me, compellingly resounds with the theme which I selected for this
year’s Conference.
Finally, in the preparatory work for Conference, I have already incurred a
great many debts of thanks to various people – and I have no doubt that I
will incur a slew more during the event itself. For the moment, though, I
must say the most heartfelt thank you to the AC2012 team at the RGS-
IBG, Catherine Souch, Stephanie Wyse and (Stephanie’s replacement

Welcome and Introduction
while she enjoys the challenges of early motherhood) Joy Hayward: their
professionalism is second-to-none, but so too is their enthusiasm, good
humour and creative input at every turn to the academic shaping of the
Conference programme (their work has been so much more than just
‘administrative’). I must thank the Edinburgh University Events Team, who
have been our on-site facilitators, and who have engaged readily with all of
our ideas and requests, even when moving a little way outside the usual
conference ‘box’. I must thank Drew and his musicians for participating,
Susie for allowing us to reproduce her image, and all of the convenors and
presenters for their readiness to participate and their hard work (and
flexibility) in getting the programme into its final, wonderful shape. I hope
that you will enjoy this event, and appreciate, with me, the efforts of
everyone who has been involved in ‘distributing’ this Conference to you.

3. Welcome from Geography at Edinburgh
We are delighted to welcome delegates and participants to the RGS-IBG
AC2012 in Edinburgh and, in particular, to host the opening reception on
behalf of the University and the School of Geosciences. The last time the
Annual Conference (of the IBG) was in Edinburgh was in 1983: you are all
most welcome back.
Geography at Edinburgh is part of the School of Geosciences which was
established in 2002, as part of University restructuring, from the
Departments of Geography and Geology and Geophysics together with
the Institute of Ecology and Resource Management and the Institute of
Meteorology. Geography at Edinburgh celebrated its Centenary as a
formal teaching department in 2008, having been established in October
1908 under the direction of the economic and ‘commercial geographer’,
George Goudie Chisholm. Geography, in the form of ‘chorographie’, was
part of the teaching remit of Robert Rollok, the first Principal of the
University or ‘Toun’s Colledge’ as it then was, upon his appointment at the
establishment of the University in 1583. Lectures in geography were part
of the teaching of philosophy from the 1620s and, in the 1740s, geography
featured as part of the mathematics teaching of the distinguished
Newtonian, Colin Maclaurin. James Pillans, Professor of Humanity in
Edinburgh between 1820 and 1863, included geography as part of his
classes in ancient history.
From Chisholm’s one-man show in 1908, there are now over 90 academic
staff in the School, with a further 120 research staff. Chisholm began with
48 students studying for an Ordinary Degree. In 2011-2012, there are 450
FTE Geography students studying for MA or BSc Single Honours in
Geography, or Joint Honours, with 124 Senior Honours graduands
expected in June 2012.
Geography at Edinburgh was rated 5* in the RAE of 1996 and 2001. In the
RAE of 2008, 55% of our research in Geography was rated within the top
two categories of ‘world-leading’ and ‘internationally excellent’. In 2011-
2012, Geography at Edinburgh was placed third in the UK in The Guardian
‘University Guide to Geography and Environmental Studies’.
On behalf of the University, the School of Geosciences and all colleagues
and students in Geography, welcome to Edinburgh and we wish you an
enjoyable, successful and stimulating Annual Conference.
Charles W. J. Withers, Professor of Historical Geography, on behalf
of the School and all Edinburgh’s geographers

Welcome and Introduction
9. Research and Working Groups
9.1. About the Society’s Research and Working Groups
The Society’s Research and Working Groups bring together active
researchers and those with a professional interest in a particular aspect of
geography and related disciplines. Most Groups hold their AGMs at the
Annual Conference. Anyone is welcome to attend these events, so please
go along to learn more about the different groups and get involved.
Throughout the year, group activities include seminars, conferences,
workshops, reading days etc.
Joining a Research or Working Group enables you to:
network with colleagues with similar research interests
keep up to date with the latest research in your specialised field
receive information on conferences, workshops and funding
opportunities
There are two ways to join a RGS-IBG Research or Working Group:
For RGS-IBG members, inform the Society of any number of Groups
that you wish to join.
For non-RGS-IBG members, contact the Chair / Membership Officer
of Group(s) you are interested in and request to become a member.
To find out more, please visit:

Welcome and introduction
11. Posters
Research posters will be on display on the Appleton Tower mezzanine. A
dedicated poster session is timetabled.
12. Instructions to speakers for uploading
presentations
12.1. Uploading your presentation
Please follow these instructions when uploading your presentation:
1. Insert your USB memory stick into the USB socket of the
laptop/computer (or insert CD into the CD-Rom Drive)
2. Double click on the my computer icon on the desktop
3. Locate your USB stick, which should be labelled “Removable
Disk” (or CD icon if using a CD) and double click to open
4. Drag the PowerPoint file you require onto the desktop.
12.2. Safely removing your USB memory stick
Once you have uploaded your presentation, double click the remove
hardware icon in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.
Then select ‘Stop’ and press OK. You will then get a message “Safe to
remove hardware”.
12.3. Need more help?
There will be AV technicians around to help – if you have any problems
please see the staff in David Hume Tower (foyer) and Appleton Tower
(Registration Desk) and someone will be sent to help you.
13. Instructions to session Chairs
Many thanks for agreeing to chair a session. Below are a few suggestions
to help you:

Welcome and introduction
13.1. Before the session begins
Please check the programme book and addendum for the speakers in
your session. If there are any changes we will attempt to ensure that
you are notified before the session. Please check at the Main
Registration Desk for updates.
Arrive at the room 20 minutes before the session is due to start – your
presenters have been asked to do the same.
Ensure all the speakers have arrived and that they are aware of the
running order and have all the necessary AV equipment.
Then start the session promptly.
We recommend that you:
Suggest speakers sit towards the front and remain there during all
presentations.
If you require assistance please contact the Registration Desk.
13.2. Timings
Speakers will only need a very brief introduction of name, institution and
paper title. In a session of 1 hour 40 minutes, this allows 5 speakers to
each present 20 minute papers including questions. Please keep to the
times and ensure that the session does not over run.
We have provided signs for you to hold up: ‘5 minutes to go’, ‘2 minutes to
go’ and ‘Please stop now’. Please use these, as they can be an effective
way of managing the session.
If a speaker fails to turn up, we suggest you use the extra time for
discussion, rather than allowing the other speakers extra time to present.
13.3. Questions and discussion
Please ask delegates to state their name and affiliation when asking a
question.
13.4. Other
Occasionally we may have left some announcements on the speakers’
table. Please ensure that these are read out to the delegates in your
session.

A highly readable and superbly fun guide to the why and how of doing fieldwork in human geography...
I recommend it highly to any geographer-wannabes and practicing-geographers. The latter group,
including myself, might well rediscover the fun of doing geography
- Henry Yeung, Professor of Economic Geography, National University of Singapore
Provides an excellent introduction to the art and science of fieldwork. It makes clear that fieldwork is not
just about getting out of the classroom and gaining first-hand experience of places, it is about instilling
passion about those places
- Stuart C. Aitken, Professor, Department of Geography, San Diego State University
Set to be an indispensible guide to fieldwork that will enrich the practice of geography in a myriad of
different ways. In particular, the diverse materials presented here will encourage students and academics
alike to pursue new approaches to their work and instil a greater understanding of the conceptual and
methodological breadth of their discipline
- Professor Matthew Gandy, Professor of Human Geography, University College London
If fieldwork is an indispensable component of geographical education then this book is equally essential
to making the most of fieldwork: at last, students have a guide to making the most of their journeys
abroad or closer to home

The Central Scotland Green Network (CSGN) will change the face of
Central Scotland, by restoring and transforming the landscape of an
area stretching from Ayrshire and Inverclyde in the west, to Fife and the
Lothians in the east.
The Scottish Government’s second National Planning Framework
identifies the CSGN as a national development, which will: “make
Central Scotland a more attractive place to live in, do business and visit”.
By aligning policies, programmes and resources (including land), public
sector stakeholders will help to bring about this change and to deliver a
range of national and local outcomes.
If you wish more information, or would like to arrange a meeting or a
presentation on the CSGN you can contact us at:
