Disrupting place attachment has a negative impact on people’s psychological well-being and the health of their communities. Place attachment can motivate people’s engagement in civic actions to protect their beloved places from being destroyed, especially when buildings and public spaces are demolished or redeveloped in historic places. However, the UK planning and heritage sectors have made only limited attempts to understand people’s attachment to the historic environment and how it may influence planning, conservation and development that affects historic places.

  • Book of Abstracts North American Society for the Sociology of Sport 2017 Annual Conference Windsor, Ontario, Canada November
    Book of Abstracts North American Society for the Sociology of Sport 2017 Annual Conference Windsor, Ontario, Canada November 1-4 Age Matters: Canadian Hockey-style Masculinity Comes to Curling Kristi Allain, St Thomas University As Canadian baby boomers reach retirement age and the country becomes increasingly defined by its old(er) citizens, it is surprisingly rare to see the bodies of old(er) men on sports channels and in the newspapers’ sports sections. Men’s curlers have been a noteworthy exception to this trend. Men’s curling — with its focus on older men, hospitality, affability, and a lack of physical exertion — has always stood apart from men’s hockey — which often privileges aggressive and violent masculinity. However, since the Sochi Olympics, when the media heralded the curlers on Team Jacobs for bringing to curling a young, muscular style, a troubling shift has taken place. I argue that media representations of curling draw on both the language and values of Canadian hockey-style masculinity, showing how this results in the problematic erasure of curling’s once-unique form of Canadian sports masculinity. I discuss how curling and hockey connect to the Canadian consciousness and construct the nation as white and male. I then explain how curling’s privileging of non-athletic qualities such as sociability, makes it unique among Canadian sports. Thus, the emerging media discourse, which applies the norms of hockey masculinity to male curlers, demonstrates a complex social reordering of popular understandings of men who curl, and a “sweeping away” of an older, less aggressive masculinity.

  • Leith Neighbourhood Network Inaugural Meeting, 30 May 2019
    Leith Neighbourhood Network inaugural meeting, 30 May 2019 This report based is on my notes taken at the meeting, and my recollections on 7 June 2019. The meeting was opened by Evelyn Kilmurry (North East Locality Manager – Place, City of Edinburgh Council). She stated that her role is to facilitate/support the network, and noted that there are three other neighbourhood networks (NNs) in northeast Edinburgh. NNs are ward-based, so in NE Edinburgh the NNs are Leith/Leith Walk, Craigentinny/Duddingston and Portobello/Craigmillar. The latter two NNs also had their inaugural meetings this week. Evelyn said that the aims of this meeting are to be informal, to enable networking, to find what Leith NN can do to make things better for Leith people. The point of NNs is to enable local people to have their say. Hence NN members are local people, not council staff or elected members. What is an NN? Evelyn stated that it is not a council service or committee, and that it is not a place to make service requests or complaints. NNs must meet at least once each year, to engage with local people and the wider community, e.g. on service development. Each NN is a place for community groups to work together with service providers to solve problems, and to deliver the priorities in the local improvement plan, e.g. action on child poverty, social isolation and loneliness, improving environment. It is up to the NN members to develop its membership. Hence we should start by looking into whether we want to grow or refine Leith NN’s membership, starting with the current list.
