Rethinking methodological vulnerability: Drawing multispecies settler ecologies in the Huleh wetlands
The phrase ‘methodological vulnerability’ is conventionally used in the negative, denoting liabilities and risk factors to be designed out of research. Yet vulnerability in processes of knowledge production should also be understood as a strength in that it can alter the inherent power dynamics of research encounters. This article develops the proposal that foregrounding vulnerability in research methodologies engenders the possibility of differe…
Not just gay penguins: On the Importance of Queer/Trans Ecologies for Critical Geography
Queer/trans Ecologies names a growing and trans-disciplinary body of thought that applies perspectives and sensibilities drawn from queer/trans experience and theory to thinking critically about nature and society. Work in this field aims to unravel persistent circular logics that amplify and reinforce cis- and hetero-normative readings of both ‘nature’ and the ‘social’, while also questioning the validity of any clean delineation between these t…
Dandelion Roots
During the first year of the COVID‐19 pandemic, I kept a graphic diary titled Dandelion Roots. The format was simple: in a single black‐and‐white line drawing from a square of paper I would document something encountered (during periods of lockdown, this would normally be on my daily allotted walk). Overlaid on the same page, I would arrange words in an attempt to articulate whatever was on my mind: reflections on gender, identity, ecology, and r…
Viral ecologies: Resurgent nature, Covid-19 and the discourse of transgender contagion
During the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, popular narratives of a 'resurgent nature' and portrayals of the virus as a form of 'revenge' prompted geographical reflection on the promises and limitations of ecological perspectives on the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Revisiting these reflections in the light of what we have learned from the pandemic, this article asks what is to be gained by attempting to think critically with the virus about human space …
Critical observational drawing in geography: Towards a methodology for ‘vulnerable’ research
Recent years have seen increasing experimentation with drawing as a first-hand method for observation, reflection, and analysis in critical geographical research. Interestingly, much of this work comes from scholars who in various ways are working from the margins, and use drawing in part to interrogate their own positionalities within the research environment. These experiments to date remain somewhat tentative and underdeveloped as methodologic…
Making space for a radical trans imagination: Towards a kinder, more vulnerable, geography
This essay makes a two-fold argument.First, that in failing its trans constituents, the discipline of geography falls short of its ethical, intellectual, and imaginative commitments.Second, that the task of developing a concept of space adequate to the diversity of trans experience offers an opportunity to tackle long-standing tensions in the discipline.Taking trans experience seriously requires a transversal conception of space, preferencing nei…
Sharing the Field: Reflections of More-Than-Human Field/work Encounters
The "field" has long been contested as spatially and temporally bounded. Feminist epistemologies have re-imagined and engaged field/work as shared, messy and co-constitutive, while critical more-than-human methodologies in the transdisciplinary field of the environmental humanities are further expanding our understanding of who and what counts in the production of knowledge in the field. This compendium article orbits around a collective concern …
Trans Subjectifications: Drawing an (Im)personal Politics of Gender, Fashion, and Style
The lived experiences of gender transition highlight tensions between new and traditional western conceptions of gender and identity, and afford an intimate and unusually broad insight into the mechanisms through which subjectification is gendered and gender subjectivised through daily practices of fashion and style. This experimental, practice-based contribution makes playful and subversive use of a fashion activity book intended for young women…
Geographies of vulnerability: Mapping transindividual geometries of identity and resistance
Queer, feminist, and non‐representational geographies have highlighted the ways that a predetermined and self‐contained idea of the subject limits the options for theorising the politics of identity and resistance. Transgender lives speak to this problem in new and productive ways, alerting us to the constitutive vulnerability of individual bodies and ideas – a vulnerability that does not map neatly onto a passive/active binary of political agenc…
Situating skill: Contemporary Observational Drawing as a Spatial Method in Geographical Research
In this article, I review an experiment in posthumanist fieldwork. The purpose of the experiment is to draw out a multi-species politics of nature and land use in the Huleh Wetlands marking the northern tip of the Jordan Rift Valley.1 Here, associations unfolding between text and image are presented as work in progress – a hybrid between traditional academic writing and the artists’ crit session.2 My intention is to test out emergent ideas about …
