Time to introduce our second #PLATIAL'26 keynote talk by Alice Butler-Warke. The keynote will examine how negative reputations of places develop, become entrenched, and are maintained. Several interrelated sub-processes will be considered: naming, shaming, and blaming.

Time to introduce one of our keynotes!
We are delighted to have secured @a_ballatore for a keynote talk entitled “Where culture takes place – perspectives from cultural geo-analytics”. The talk will discuss the roles of cultural institutions and media in shaping place identities.

🌍 New paper published in Progress in Environmental Geography 🌍
'Proposing critical realism and second-generation #environmental justice for advancing #sacrifice zone analysis' by Víctor Cobs-Muñoz & René Westerholt
journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.… @victorcobs @rwesterh87
Very pleased to see our paper out in the wild (with @victorcobs) in @progenvgeog! We propose a critical realism and second-generation environmental justice-based framework for understanding Sacrifice Zones where people suffer environmental degradation.

New research article published by René Westerholt (@rwesterh87) & Albert Acedo

Together with @acedoalbert, I published a new article in @JournalURP:
doi.org/10.1080/17535069.202….
We examine the polygons of areas associated with people's meaningful places. Using logistic regression, we relate geometric complexity to dimensions of sense of place. 1/7
Our results show three trends: many variables of sense of place correlate with vertex counts; those variables of sense of place that require deeper personal reflection correlate positively with geometric complexity beyond vertex counts; utilitarian dimensions correlate least. 6/7
