Abstract
jats:pThis paper is about shame, its geographies, and its role in the government of conduct in austerity Britain. Drawing on ethnographic and interview data from a Trussell Trust foodbank in the Valleys of South Wales, the geography of shame is investigated through its spatiality, temporality, and politics. This paper demonstrates how shame is a central framework for understanding the contested politics of austerity both in the places it creates and through the feelings, behaviours, and values it encourages.
