Urban flanerie in London as historical and socio-economic construct: Deptford and Cross Bones
I just returned from London last week where my colleagues Jeremy Knox and James Lamb, both of the University of Edinburgh, and I presented at the MODE: Methodological Explorations conference.

And eventually someone is able to put it […]
