‘Swimming, confusion, and plenty of brews: Negotiating ambivalence within Windermere’s fragile waters’
My first peer reviewed journal article was published in Health & Place earlier this month – a huge milestone for the project.
The article forms part of a forthcoming Special Issue (The Blue Un/Commons: Tracing New Directions in Research on Outdoor Swimming) led by editors Ronan Foley, Rebecca Olive, and Kate Moles. It offers methodological contributions – extending Clifton Evers’ wet ethnography within the complex worlds and relationships of outdoor swimming and environmental health at Windermere.
After a year of working on the article, I am so thrilled to finally get it out there. There is free access until 18th September 2024.
I owe a massive thank you to the editors, reviewers, Jen Lea, John Wylie, Jo little, and Jimmy Turner for their support with the writing, Ian Wood for some of the photography featured, and to my fellow swimmers, dippers, and dunkers within the community.
It’s been a busy summer – finishing my placement with the Freshwater Biological Association, podcasting with the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, presenting at the EASST-4S conference in Amsterdam, and continuing to write up my thesis.
There’s still a long way to go and further outputs on the way! Keep your eyes peeled for some more exciting news within outdoor swimming research in the next couple of months!
