Should we stay or should we go? Dilemmas arising from (new) corporate ownership of a digital public space
If a chauvinistic troll billionaire takes control of a digital platform, enabling hate speech and tailoring algorithms around their whims, how should higher education institutional accounts respond? To consider this question, our paper uses a collaborative listening approach to navigate diverse positionings and political imperatives: it presents both collective analysis and individual authored reflections from seven members (faculty and PhD stude…
Milk from the farm, the factory and the future
In this article, I explore the topic of dairy transitions in Aotearoa New Zealand through an ecofeminist lens. This perspective challenges existing power dynamics and calls for greater consideration of ethical and political dimensions for food system transitions. I draw from reflections from doctoral fieldwork conducted in the South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand in 2022, which included visits to 13 dairy farms, a milk processing facility, and a …
Read, write, retreat
As PhD candidates of geography and planning, we engage in a collaborative autoethnography to reflect on our experiences during a writing retreat. We explore the significance of material and immaterial spaces of the retreat and how these spaces impacted our academic writing. We emphasise the value of a collaborative and supportive learning environment that challenges the productivity-driven, neoliberal narrative imbued in academic writing. Drawing…
To milk, or not to milk? Exploring just and sustainable transition pathways for Aotearoa New Zealand's dairy sector
Plant-based food politics
Veganism is becoming more popular as the social, environmental, and ethical impacts of animal agriculture become better known. This is creating new opportunities and challenges as an array of economic actors seek to profit from and contribute to the movement. In this paper, we analyse how small plant-based food businesses are engaging with and influencing vegan politics through a case study of Sydney, Australia. Through interviews and an online a…
A review of megatrends in the global dairy sector
The global dairy industry is undergoing a period of expansion and consolidation, alongside heightened critique and competition from non-dairy alternatives. This review identifies four key megatrends within the global dairy sector, focusing in on the socioecological challenges associated with each. The megatrends were identified through a literature review of recent publications within the dairy science and social science fields, as well as a revi…
The Biopolitics of Cattle Methane Emissions Reduction
In this paper we analyse ongoing attempts to mitigate cattle methane emissions through the lens of biopower. Drawing on IPCC and FAO reports as well as the scientific literature, we detail how the problem of cattle methane has been made visible and the subsequent efforts that have emerged to govern human and non‐human life from molecular to global scales. Such efforts have been thwarted by the liveliness of cattle, farmers and consumers. Rather t…
