Aware of the curriculum changes facing teachers, and mindful that some might be apprehensive at the prospect of taking the plunge into new waters, I hoped that my keynote and my workshop would convey something of the passion I have for teaching geographies of consumption while giving some practical guidance as to how the topic could be used to explore numerous aspects of the revised curriculum and, most particularly, the Year 9 topic, 'Geographies of Interconnections'. This article reflects on how a study of consumption not only can provide a vast 'sea' of material for teaching geographies of interconnections, but can encourage students themselves to be excited about Geography as they critically examine the geographies of their everyday lives.

Geographers have explored how different spaces of consumption are produced and exist in relation to each other at scales from the global to the body. They have examined sites such as homes, gardens, spaces of first- and secondhand retailing, places of work, the Internet, and consumption in rural, urban, and First- and Third-World contexts with a particular focus on consumption as it is manifest in geographies and practices of everyday life. Efforts to understand the spatiality, sociality, and subjectivities associated with consumption have been informed by a range of theoretical perspectives and approaches, including research deriving from other disciplines such as cultural and feminist studies, political ecology, anthropology, and sociology. More recently, research has been informed by post-structural, nonrepresentational, and postcolonial practice and assemblage theories and approaches. In the late 20th century, many consumption geographers sought to overcome dichotomous constructions of production and consumption and culture and economy by attending to the connections between these spheres. Research on commodity chains and networks, sustainability, and the transnational constitution of consumption as well as on the relationship between the material and non-representational aspects of practice have further eroded such binaries. Some of these approaches have centered on following the social and spatial lives of commodities while others have focused on the identity/subjective/affective functions of consumption, including an examination of race, gender, sexuality, age, social and familial relationships, and bodies and mobilities. The socialities associated with consuming have long been studied, but, more recently, consumption has been understood in the context of wider social and/or commodity practices, such as household provisioning, work, or gifting. Commodity studies of food and apparel have been predominant, but music, health services, consumer durables, drugs, and alcohol also feature. Over time, the focus of research on consumer practices has broadened the scope of consumption research from purchase and acquisition to considering the appropriation, use, and reuse of commodities to matters of disposal and wasting. Discussions of the politics and effects of consumption on environmental/climate change have highlighted the possibilities and limitation of current consumption practices for communities, places, and the environment. A concern with these issues has meant geographers are well placed to contribute to debates on the governance and implementation of more sustainable futures.

Drawing on qualitative interviews with older New Zealanders from a range of socio-economic positions, ethnic groups, and geographic locations across New Zealand, the chapter demonstrates how understandings of luxury are materially grounded and morally constituted. It provides some insights into how and why constructions of luxury are drawn upon to describe a range of consumption practices, and vary across people, place, and time. By examining the heterogeneity and construction of luxury beyond the consumption practices of the wealthy, this chapter shows that a ‘little bit of luxury’ in everyday life matters and more critically reveals how the manifestations and moralities of luxury consumption vary greatly.

Companion animal fostering is an alternative to pet ownership that aligns with the Ottawa Charter health promotion principle that caring for others in everyday settings promotes health. This narrative review of the literature on companion animal fostering draws on Te Whare Tapa Whā (the four-sided house), an indigenous model of health that is influential in Aotearoa/New Zealand, and the Ottawa Charter. We found that companion animal fostering can be considered health-promoting for human and non-human animals, using a broad and multidimensional understanding of health. As well as improving the long-term outcomes for homeless animals, companion animal fostering has the potential to promote the health of the individuals, families, and communities who provide foster homes.

Centring on an indepth case study of Sydney, the book argues the need to attend carefully to the fine-grained detail of the commuting experience. In all sorts of ways, Transit Life presents a way of thinking about urban transportation radically different from that used by mainstream transport planners and geographers.
