There's a new blog on our Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded project website today! We recently spoke to Jack Cornish from RamblersGB about how paths are forgotten and then found again, and this is some of what was said... allourfootsteps.uk/newwriting/thi…

I wrote for In All Our Footsteps about the forces of change and disruption impacting our paths, including perhaps the greatest of all, the climate emergency. allourfootsteps.uk/newwriting/thi…

This week we are showcasing the five project booklets, which explore some of the themes of our Arts and Humanities Research Council funded research, that we launched last week. If you want to see them all now, check out this blog post 👇 allourfootsteps.uk/newwriting/the…

How might the history of #RightsOfWay act as one portal through which we can understand different ideas about citizenship in the recent past? Check out our project booklet on Citizenship written by Glen O'Hara which explores this theme allourfootsteps.uk/publications



There is considerable (& often invisible) work involved in enabling people to use #RightsOfWay both on the ground & behind the scenes. Dr Abbi Flint & Tom Breen explore the histories and role of this labour, in our Working on Paths booklet allourfootsteps.uk/publications


How have the entangled histories of technologies & path infrastructure intersected with histories of the accessibility of #RightsOfWay for disabled people? Dr Abbi Flint explores these themes in our Accessible Ways booklet allourfootsteps.uk/publications


How have changing conceptions of health & disease intersected with histories of #RightsOfWay & access to rural places? Clare Hickman explores how ‘the countryside’ with its fresh air has often been seen as one key to healthy living in our Healthy Ways booklet allourfootsteps.uk/publications


To round off our week of showcasing the project booklets from our Arts and Humanities Research Council funded research, here's the link to a piece about all 5 booklets - exploring themes of citizenship, mapping, work, health & accessibility. We hope you enjoy reading them! allourfootsteps.uk/newwriting/the…
