‘What are you working on’… Benedikt Lehmann

After the previous three pieces by Rob Creasy, Matt Spokes and Jack Denham – the latter of whom passed his PhD viva with the usual minor corrections earlier this week – it falls to me to say a few words about my current research and activities. Unlike Jack’s, my viva has not been scheduled yet, so I am still some time off that monumental, but as I am told, frequently anti-climactic event. So for the time being, I will have to remain slightly jealous of my colleague’s recent success. That said most of the last few months have been occupied with writing my own PhD, so I should perhaps provide a ..read more

‘What are you working on’…Matt Spokes

There are two answers to that question. The first relates to the research I’ve been doing over the last few months, and the three papers I’ve been working on. The first paper operates as a quasi-response to Deborah Lupton’s work on the quantification of self, and self-tracking. This is a paper I’ve been writing with my former colleague Dr. Paul Chappell for the last 18 months, but it took until this month to reach a breakthrough with it: what the paper explores is how classificatory systems change as a result of human agency in data collection and analysis, with the case study being the overly ..read more

Continuing our blog series on current research practice, it’s my turn to step into the digital limelight. In terms of research, I’m going to tell you briefly about four ongoing projects. One of which is almost completed, one will take but a day, one is yet to begin, and one is never-ending. My PhD – submitted PhD write up has taken almost every second of my non-lecturing time of late, submitted just three weeks ago. The final piece of this puzzle was the abstract, which is probably the easiest way for me to summarise this work for you: This thesis investigates crime memorabilia, or ‘true crime ..read more

*Over the Summer, academic staff in Social Sciences will be posting updates on what they’re working on in terms of their research: up first, subject director Dr. Rob Creasy* I have just submitted a book to Palgrave Macmillan which we hope will be published by Xmas.

The book is to be titled “The Taming of Education: contemporary approaches to teaching and learning” and draws upon Sociology, Social Policy and Education Studies to argue that over recent decades the way in which we provide education has changed in ways that make it not ..read more

Introducing…Dr. Beverly Geesin
Sociology and Criminology at YSJ
by m.spokes

I’m Beverly and I’ve been a lecturer at York St John since 2008. I’m a ‘Citizen of the World’, or a ‘Citizen of Nowhere’ according to Theresa May. I’m also American, from North Carolina or the suburbs of Washington, DC, depending on how you define ‘from’. I originally moved to the UK to do my MA in Interactive Media at Goldsmiths College in London. I chose Goldsmiths because I thought of myself as a bit ‘arty’ and it was mentioned in a song by the Television Personalities. While I was there I developed a passion for French sociologist, Henri Lefebvre, and complaining about surveillance. Those ..read more

Second year Sociology students visit ‘Flesh’
Sociology and Criminology at YSJ
by m.spokes

‘Flesh’ is a temporary exhibition at the York Art Gallery that explores how artists investigate and represent the body in their work. The website states that the exhibition raises questions  about the body and ageing, race and gender, touch and texture and surface and skin . In Social Inequalities: Contemporary Debates, students are asked to reflect on disability, age and sexuality through the lens of bodies and identities amongst others. A common thread that connects all these issues is the importance of the body/ies in the process of identity formation.  We reflect on the idea ..read more
