This paper explores the four-stage method which underpinned my PhD project: interviewing people on foot & working with performance artists through events & walking tours. Being playful helps people to open up & offers meaningful insights which lead to better researcher qestions.

New open access paper in GeoHumanities

"Using walking approaches and site-specific performance to reveal layers of feeling attached to place"

This aims to meet the desire for dynamic and multi-dimensional aspects of studying feelings attached to places

🤔 What would Wales be without NationCymru?

Less scrutiny.

Fewer Welsh stories.

A weaker voice.

💪 Make sure that never happens.

@drneilharris As they were setting up councils maybe...

[Aled Singleton @aledsingleton]

@drneilharris Could be about the parishes

@Victori90018860 @TykePsychoGeog @SoniaOverall @ThreadandWord Ok. That's a field that I don't know at all. There may be links to Bachelard or something in the world of literary goegraphy perhaps? Lots of writing here https://t.co/3OwMrTuUlY

[Aled Singleton @aledsingleton]

@Victori90018860 @TykePsychoGeog @SoniaOverall @ThreadandWord What is your article going to be called? That can help focus on certain terminology. And where will it be going? My other thought is that psychogeography should always be open to what is out there. How do walking and other methods help us find out what kind of vibe exists?

[Aled Singleton @aledsingleton]

@Victori90018860 @TykePsychoGeog @SoniaOverall @ThreadandWord Good question Victoria. What does vibe mean to you? It is about shared feelings, a sense of place, vibrancy, mood, even a lack of energy. Give it some other descriptions in words you are familiar with and we can connect you to some theories.

@RhianMeara @timeforgeog @GeologyLeics @marcreichow I meant the non specialist btw!

[Aled Singleton @aledsingleton]

@RhianMeara @timeforgeog @GeologyLeics @marcreichow It's very good Rhian - helps Tue non specialist to understand also

[Aled Singleton @aledsingleton]

@PhilHubbard1 Thanks Phil. It's amazing what happens when people tell stories led by/focused on spaces - particularly ones that don't exist anymore and/or have changed a lot. Streetview goes back to 2008 in most places, so let's of potential there.

[Aled Singleton @aledsingleton]

My new open access book chapter covers 3 walking methods which explore & contextualise biographies. Spaces such as the house, street & neighbourhood can be imagined through a sat-down oral method, an online digital approach as well as the walking body
