Elevating the Discipline: Creating Pathways for Geographers as Public Scholars
Geographers are well suited to be public scholars, due to their specialized training and interdisciplinary perspectives, which equip them to “ground-truth” and convey knowledge on a wide variety of trends and issues to the public and policymakers. Although institutional recognition of public scholarship has increased over the past twenty years, it remains an underdeveloped area of practice for geographers, often fraught with professional and pers…
Coproductive Imaginaries for Climate Change Adaptation: A Case of Adaptation Initiatives in the Gandaki River Basin, Western Nepal
For too long climate change adaptation was taken as a problem to be addressed through technological fixes. Using a place-based and contextual approach to imaginaries, we present emerging dialectics that collectively bring a set of knowledge to address climate adaptation challenges. With the analysis of the Local Adaptation Plans of Action (LAPA) initiative in the Gandaki River Basin, Western Nepal, we explore how local adaptation initiatives prom…
Geographies of Imaginaries and Environmental Governance
Storied to fit into the sociocultural practices and the materiality of a place, the geography of imaginaries has expanded within the disciplinary lexicon since the beginning of the twenty-first century. This Focus section advances both theoretical and empirical approaches that demonstrate how cultural, technological, and environmental imaginaries emerge, coalesce, and circulate among policy actors and others involved in the governance of the envi…
Resilience in the times of Covid: What the response to the Covid pandemic teaches us about resilience principles

Challenges and prospects of Local Adaptation Plans of Action (Lapa) initiative in Nepal as everyday adaptation
Impacts of climate change, manifested in different forms, are integrally linked with context-specific socio-economic, political, and environmental stressors. Dealing with climatic risks, in most parts, requires understanding these mundane location-specific stressors exacerbated by climate variability and change. In large part, the discussion about dealing with impending threats from climate change has relied on policy objectives hatched at the gl…
The Impact of Public Deliberation on Climate Change Opinions Among U.S. Citizens
Governance of climate change has become a major global environmental issue in the 21 st century, and in the absence of wider citizen engagement poses risks of global proportions. Much of the current climate governance debate, unfortunately, is limited to scientists, politicians, and interest groups. With few exceptions, everyday citizens are spectators at best, their views, if not absent, are dismally represented in policy processes. To close the…
