Social Geographies: The Basics introduces what social geography is, and what it might be. It outlines the key contours of social geographies, and also disrupts some of the conventions of the discipline in both its content and structure.

Liveable Lives examines what makes life liveable for LGBTQ+ people beyond equality reforms. It refuses the colonizing narrative of surviving in a 'regressive' Global South and thriving in a 'progressive' Global North. By linking the concept of liveability with the decolonial literature on sexualities, this open access book draws on individual's stories, art and writing to examine how lives become liveable across India and the UK, providing a multifaceted investigation of two divergent contexts where activists refuse local framings of exclusion/inclusion and LGBTQ+ lives are continually re-envisioned. Embracing diverse methodologies, including workshops, in-depth interviews, street theatres, and web surveys, the book stands as an example of a queer collaborative praxis that refuses the familiar Global North / Global South practices of theorizing and data gathering. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on www.bloomsburycollections.com.

The book conducts a comprehensive analysis of the UK equalities legislation's impact on LGBT individuals and the evolution of their political activism. Through the Count Me In Too participatory research project, it explores social and spatial injustices faced by diverse LGBT communities and highlights collaborative activism. Despite the prevalent narrative surrounding 'gay Brighton,' it reveals a lack of substantial academic literature on the city. Royalties from the book will support local LGBT organizations, emphasizing its commitment to social advocacy.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people often face unique challenges as they grow older. This book demonstrates how biographical approaches can increase understanding about the distinct perspectives of older LGBT people, enhancing inclusive care and support.
