Feminist political ecologies of agrarian technologies
As digital technologies become increasingly ubiquitous on farms, we need to reconsider relationships between technology and agriculture. Critical agrarian studies offers some analyses of digital technologies, but rarely engages feminist perspectives, risking the repetition of problematic assumptions about scale, subjectivity and power. We draw from the strengths of feminist political ecology to think through three digital technologies - remote se…
Ouch! Eew! Blech! A Trialogue on Porous Technologies, Places and Embodiments
In this chapter, we bring political ecologies of health and the body into conversation with environmental justice and crip theory, science, technology and society studies (STS) and biopolitics. We present a trialogue that highlights three cases of health and embodiment examining the crosscutting themes of porosity and technologies as they offer us ways to insist on the right to be and signal a politics of health in FPE: (a) the lived experience o…
What does environmental justice look like in Vermont? Centering perspectives from the margins
Until 2022, Vermont was one of the few US states that did not have an Environmental Justice (EJ) policy. In 2016, the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) initiated a process to create an EJ policy based on an agreement with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). A coalition of academics, non-profit organization leaders, legal experts, and community-based partners formed in response to the DEC’s initial approach because i…
Feminist digital natures
This commentary proposes a research agenda for the concept of feminist digital natures (FDN). To demonstrate how we see FDN connecting existing research efforts, we review both the well-established and much-needed work in three overlapping areas of scholarship where we see the potential for productive discussions, new questions, and empirical analysis: feminist digital geographies (FDG), digital natures (DN), and feminist political ecology (FPE).…
Where are rooted networks in digital political ecologies
This perspective piece contends that political-ecological relations are already digital and that feminist analyses help reveal their often-overlooked power relations. We argue that as digital political ecologies research grows in popularity, there is widespread omission and forgetting of key epistemological lessons from feminist political ecologies, such as rooted networks. Here, we remind readers of rooted networks lessons, and we distill them i…
Nonscalability and generating digital outer space natures inNo Man's Sky
This article examines the generation of digital outer space natures in the space exploration game, No Man's Sky. Using procedural generation, No Man's Sky offers nearly infinite planets, flora, and fauna on the fly. With the rapid development of gaming technology and tools, game developers and others are attempting to diversify the representation of various forms of nature in gaming content and to expand the use of games in behavioral change, edu…

Gendered orphan kits, authority, power and the role of rumor in the woodlands of Mozambique
Recipient communities often distribute humanitarian aid in unexpected ways that reveal critical power dynamics and relationships. This article examines a case involving ‘orphan kits’ distributed by the staff of an international non-governmental organization in Mozambican woodland communities. The kits contained food and school supplies allocated according to a strict gender distribution mandate, which was of secondary importance compared with loc…
Responding to Technologies of ‘Fixing’ ‘Nuisance’ Webs of Relation in the Mozambican Woodlands
In August 2010 I hurried down the sandy road in a woodland locality in Maganja da Costa District in Zambézia Province, Mozambique. Having just delivered eggs to an ailing friend, I wanted to prepare for a long bicycle journey to a neighbouring povoado1 to investigate several fields where I had heard that a tractor hauling hardwood logs had destroyed a family's crops. As I passed by the mwene's house, I noticed that one of the timber bosses, Simão…

Introduction
Sweeping as a site of temporal brokerage
Building on 18 months of ethnographic research between 2007 and 2011 in Mozambique, this article explores how sweeping practices elaborate multiple temporalities and thus can serve as powerful sites of "brokerage" where diverse actors and their many agendas meet. Sweeping renders daily activities legible to local residents and illegible to others. Daily sweeping just outside of the home signifies a day's routine beginning and a family's availabil…
Practising Feminist Political Ecologies
Wendy Harcourt is associate professor at the International Institute of Social Studies, Erasmus University. She was editor-in-chief of the journal Development from 1995 to 2012 and during that period published five books, including Women and Politics of Place with Arturo Escobar (Kumarian Press, 2005). Her monograph Body Politics in Development: Critical Debates in Gender and Development (Zed Books, 2009) received the 2010 Feminist and Women's St…
Impacts of forest-related large-scale land acquisitions in the Indian Ocean world
With the ‘global land grab’ now a primary ongoing process in the developing world, greater attention to region-specific analyses provides critical insights for effective policy responses. The Indian Ocean world has the greatest regional concentration of large-scale land acquisitions (LSLAs) globally, and it is also where most of the investor countries reside. Yet examination of Indian Ocean-specific patterns and processes of LSLAs is lacking. One…
The allure and privileging of danger over everyday practice in field research
Many geographers in ‘closed’ research contexts focus on the problem of coerced subject responses in a ‘climate of fear’, the challenges of protecting respondents' identities and the potential political or physical harms that research results might produce once published. However, I argue that privileging possible harm from research products (including sensitive data and results) diverts attention away from crucial details that are seemingly less …
