Decolonising hydrology
Colonialism continues to have an enduring impact on hydrological research, practice, and education. This paper examines the colonial legacy in hydrology and highlights the need for decolonisation to achieve justice, inclusivity, and sustainability in water management. Through tracing the development of hydrology research and examining stories from Canada, Indonesia, India, West Asia, and Africa, the paper uncovers the different ways colonial-era …
Learning to Control Complex Robots Using High-Dimensional Body-Machine Interfaces
When individuals are paralyzed from injury or damage to the brain, upper body movement and function can be compromised. While the use of body motions to interface with machines has shown to be an effective noninvasive strategy to provide movement assistance and to promote physical rehabilitation, learning to use such interfaces to control complex machines is not well understood. In a five session study, we demonstrate that a subset of an uninjure…
Learning from young people’s experiences of climate change education
This article centres on young people’s experiences of climate change education (CCE). There is much written on CCE (e.g. what it is, what it should be, how it should be taught, where it should be taught), but there is little exploring young people’s views on learning about climate and the climate crisis. This Spotlight On article considers data collected as part of 21 focus groups, which engaged more than 100 young people in Bristol (UK), Galway …
Voices in a pandemic
Children's sense of place is important for wellbeing, development and belonging in a community or place. The VIP-CLEAR (Voices in a Pandemic – Children's Lockdown Experiences Applied to Recovery) project used creative methods and repeat engagement to capture children's experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic in socially disadvantaged, urban settings, in Bristol, UK. This paper focuses on findings from the two-phased 'deep mapping' activity conducted…
Exploring the environmental value action gap in education research
Despite rising levels of interest in global environmental challenges, progress towards the widespread adoption of pro-environmental behaviours remains slow and inconsistent. Previous literature identifies the importance of education for working to address this inconsistency between the environmental values people hold and their behaviours, commonly described as the value-action gap. To examine current knowledge in this area we conducted a semi-sy…
The Tree(s) of Hope and Ambition
This paper offers a new child‐centred methodology that explores children's visions of their futures, encourages self‐reflection and depth and shares children's voices with peers and researchers, as unbrokered as possible. This final stage of a longitudinal, arts‐based, social science‐informed project was delivered by partnering with schools in socially disadvantaged areas of Bristol, a UK city. Our two‐phase activity used a Tree metaphor to explo…

Waste management in England and the ‘circular economy’ model
By tracing the emergence of waste strategy in England, leading up to the most recent strategy launched in 2018, this article aims to aid the development of a shared understanding of what 'waste' means. It also looks at emerging and competing interpretations of waste locally, nationally and at EU level, as well as the shifting roles and responsibilities of the various stakeholders. The review is followed by a discussion of the role of 'circular ec…
Discourses and Practices in Teaching Methods and Assessment
Translating the purposes of education into practice is particularly challenging for those who are new or have recently entered academia. By reflecting on my first years of teaching in higher education, I discuss two key aspects of my teaching practice: shifts in choice of teaching methods and a critique of different forms of assessment. Through the discussion, I argue that a teacher needs to be reflective on both these aspects and that such refle…
Placing Poverty in Context
The “poverty‐in‐context” approach to understanding poverty is shaped by the needs and priorities of a particular context, and it can be used as the basis for identifying pro‐poor projects in local strategies such as City Development Plans. A key argument for the introduction of the City Development Plans initiative (2007–2012) in India was to move away from national conceptions of and responses to poverty and to instead focus on engaging with loc…

The Future of Urban Living through the Lens of 'Climate Change'? Insights from American Initiatives
A Pragmatist Lens on Local Planning Practices
Green belts test the capacity of the planning system to reconcile competing demands on the sustainable use of land. In 2002, in response to strong community pressure and against the wishes of the planning authority, the Scottish Executive approved a green belt around St. Andrews. This has yet to be designated, reflecting the challenges facing the local planning authority. The paper examines the St. Andrews case through a pragmatist framework to a…
