Sander van Lanen<\/a>, currently at Groningen but formerly based in Cork, sent me this list of readings on the geographies of austerity in Ireland. I spend a fair amount of time in Ireland (mostly the west, around Galway) so I’m very aware of and interested in the Irish experiences of recession and austerity, but more from a lay perspective than an academic one.*<\/p>\n

There are a few Irish references on my previous lists, but it’s great to have this more comprehensive list. Ireland’s experiences resonate with the British experience, but there are also some particular aspects which reflect Ireland’s very different social and economic geographies, especially around housing and property (including ghost estates), and around family and generation (an area I’m increasingly interested in), and which encourage to see Britain’s particularities too.<\/p>\n

So, thank you, Sander!<\/p>\n

Sander has himself worked on\u00a0the impacts of Irish austerity on disadvantaged urban youth in Dublin and Cork and his recent\u00a0Urban Geography<\/a> paper is well worth a read.<\/p>\n

*As an aside, one of the best novels I’ve read recently was Conor O’Callaghan’s Nothing on Earth<\/a>, about Ireland’s ghost estates. It’s amazing. Read it.<\/p>\n
