Managing the move
Men in South Africa are disproportionately underrepresented in HIV care, and men who migrate face challenges using HIV services. Positive coping skills are critical for effective healthcare decision-making, yet little is known how men’s HIV status and mobility-related stressors affect their coping strategies. Johannesburg is home to ∼5 million people who have relocated from elsewhere, mostly men. From February-April 2024, we conducted a cross-sec…
Making boundaries, disputing land
Drawing boundaries around land and forest involves diverse actors, technologies, and claims. Legal tools and territorial strategies function to control access, regulate movement, enable land investment, assert ownership, maintain customary relationships, and manage conflicts. In three ethnographic stories from Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, involving state forestry officials, plantation companies, and local communities, we conceptualise boundary …
Understanding HIV Vaccine Misinformation and Vaccine Intentions Among Young Women in South Africa
An effective HIV vaccine could significantly reduce HIV incidence, but demand for future HIV vaccines will be affected by misinformation. We conducted an online survey (March-April 2024) to identify the misinformation claims most likely to deter young women in South Africa (n = 188) from receiving an HIV vaccine. Participants rated HIV-vaccine misinformation as most concerning (i.e. would make them not want to get vaccinated) and least concerning…
The Gendered Slow Violence of Global Environmental Governance in Suau, Papua New Guinea
Gender equality has become a required element of development and environmental governance regimes globally. However, local gender relations and understandings of equality are often marginalised within internationally driven interventions. In this article, we examine the interconnected and attritional ways that global environmental governance programs, specifically climate change mitigation and conservation projects, foreground categories of gende…
Frictions around rendering technical
This paper focuses on how land and trees are ‘rendered technical’ in Suau, Papua New Guinea through the Central Suau Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation Pilot Project and Save the Forest conservation projects. These climate change mitigation interventions apply tools—such as Incorporated Land Groups, maps, and satellite imagery—to make environments measurable and valuable, thereby generating ‘frictions’ between different …
Behaviourally-Informed Two-Way Text Messaging to Improve Return to HIV Care in South Africa
One-way text messaging to re-engage people in HIV care has shown promise, but little is known about two-way messaging. We evaluated a behaviourally-informed two-way text messaging intervention to increase re-engagement in care following missed visits. We conducted an individual-level randomised controlled trial between February and March 2023 in Capricorn District, South Africa. Adults aged ≥ 18 years who had missed an ART visit by > 28 days were…
HIV Care for Men on the Move
Weaving Partial Stories
Different goals and assumptions enable and legitimise the ways that climate change is understood and governed through increasingly urgent, experimental, and heterogeneous interventions. We examine the ontological politics of 'piloting' Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) by weaving together stories from our ethnographic fieldwork in Central Suau, Papua New Guinea and Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Weaving partial …
Migrant men and HIV care engagement in Johannesburg, South Africa
Our study revealed a high proportion of migrants within our community-based sample of men and demonstrated a need for HIV and other healthcare services that effectively reach migrants in Johannesburg. Future research is warranted to further disaggregate this heterogenous population by different dimensions of mobility and to understand how to design HIV programs in ways that will address migrants' challenges
Paying attention to pigs
The idea of 'equity', largely grounded in Western legal tradition, has come to permeate evaluations of what is fair and just within environmental governance programmes. But what constitutes equity in climate change and conservation projects? And does everyone affected by such projects see equity as desirable? Local encounters with global environmental governance interventions in Suau, Milne Bay Province of Papua New Guinea, provide an entry point…
Stealing Air and Land – The Politics of Translating Global Environmental Governance in Suau, Papua New Guinea
Global environmental governance today is grounded in a set of ontological assumptions that involve measurement and commodification of carbon emissions as tradeable units between countries for mitigating climate change and preventing deforestation. These ontological assumptions are not necessarily shared by communities that are targeted for implementing projects developed under such agendas. This article provides an ethnographic account of the ten…
Making Redd+ Transparent
Transparency in climate finance mechanisms, such as Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+), relies on the transfer of information within a complex global web of state and nonstate actors. Such information is required under internationally agreed REDD+ safeguards, including measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) processes and free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC), and works to establish substantive and norma…
Storytelling climate change – Causality and temporality in the Redd+ regime in Papua New Guinea
Climate change is shaped and understood through assumptions of causality and temporality that enable and constrain feasible approaches to environmental governance, approaches that may reproduce inequalities. Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) provides an entry point to examine the intersecting assumptions and politics around climate change and how it is managed. Actors in the REDD+ regime promote particular assum…

Interrogating scale in the Redd+ assemblage in Papua New Guinea
A novel tool to assess community norms and attitudes to multiple and concurrent sexual partnering in rural Zimbabwe
Concurrent sexual partnerships are important in understanding the evolution and maintenance of the HIV heterosexual epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa. While it is possible to measure individual attitudes around sensitive behaviours through questionnaire surveys, studies suggest that responses may be subject to social desirability bias and may not reflect community norms. This study used a novel tool to collect data on community norms relating to the…
Acceptability and challenges of implementing voluntary counselling and testing (VCT) in rural Zimbabwe
Voluntary counselling and testing (VCT) is an important component of HIV prevention and care. Little research exists on its acceptability and feasibility in rural settings. This paper examines the acceptability and feasibility of providing VCT using data from two sub-studies: (1) client-initiated VCT provided in rural health centres (RHCs) and (2) researcher-initiated VCT provided in a non-clinic community setting. Nurses provided client-initiate…
