“Getting in Trouble” as a Scholar-Activist: Crossing the Line in Police–Activist Negotiations
We mobilize Sara Childers's concept of “getting in trouble” when studying social movements to argue that researcher decisions that result in unintended consequences provide opportunities for reflection: what happened and why; what ethical issues or risks arose; and how the research can move forward ethically and responsibly. We apply this concept to reflect on an incident when the first author, a scholar-activist undertaking research with an Exti…
How does settler-colonialism problematise the concepts of infrastructure and sabotage? Insights from debates about the Treaty of Waitangi in Aotearoa
We problematise the concepts of ‘infrastructure’ and ‘sabotage’ using a decolonial lens based on insights from recent acts of political resistance in Aotearoa. 1 By tracing three case studies we ask: what is the infrastructure? Who is the saboteur? And how do temporalities inform these questions? We hold infrastructure as a contested concept in settler-colonial states that incorporates both state infrastructure which acts as the vehicle for colon…

Gaining a Sense of Citizenship and Belonging in Aotearoa New Zealand: The Work of Refugee Support Providers
This article examines the notion of citizenship in relation to refugee-background people by exploring how refugee support providers aid in the resettlement process in Aotearoa New Zealand. The policy and funding environment that these support providers work in is dynamic, and the contact they have with the refugees whom they support is complex and challenging. Refugees’ positions are precarious. While they are subject to screening by the immigrat…
Making and unmaking political subjectivities: Climate justice, activism, and care
Much recent work on climate justice and activism focuses on the broader socio‐political economic contexts in which contestation occurs. These contestatory spaces in neoliberalised economies are frequently depoliticised through a variety of processes, strategies, practices, and actors. Recently this has been framed as the post‐political – whereby dissent is legitimised as “democratic” only when it does not challenge the status quo of business‐as‐u…
Pasifika’ and ‘I‐Kiribati’ identity in Aotearoa New Zealand: ‘Dancing’ and ‘edge‐walking’ through multiple identities
This article explores the relationship between I‐Kiribati communities and the broader ‘imagined’ Pasifika community in Aotearoa New Zealand. It looks at the way a group of I‐Kiribati tertiary students experience identity within this context. Through the use of semi‐structured interviews and a discourse analysis, the study draws three main conclusions. First, that I‐Kiribati navigate multiple identities and are constantly negotiating these within …
Sociocarbon cycles: Assembling and governing forest carbon in Indonesia
Contesting deep sea oil: Politicisation–depoliticisation–repoliticisation
Between 2010 and 2017, the New Zealand Government undertook a range of subtle yet disturbing tactics to create a legislative environment that enabled deep sea oil exploration. This included forms of public endorsement, policy documents and legislative change that prioritised further oil development in the country to create a certain common-sense around increased fossil fuel extraction. In response, a range of communities and autonomous Oil Free g…

Legitimising activism in democracy: A place for antagonism in environmental governance
Despite the appearance of a range of opportunities for formal participation in environmental decision-making in Aotearoa New Zealand, postpolitics is very much present, annulling dissent, upholding dominant neoliberal ideals and delegitimising other voices. Through our analysis of a consent decision about a proposed coal mine on the West Coast of Aotearoa New Zealand and the experiences of opposing environmentalists, we offer empirical evidence t…
It’s who we are’: Eco‐nationalism and place in contesting deep‐sea oil in Aotearoa New Zealand
Given near consensus among the scientific community about the anthropogenic nature of climate change, there is pressing concern about how to mobilise enough people to care and demand wider socio‐political change. In this article we explore this urgent issue, drawing on recent conflicts over deep‐sea oil exploration and drilling in Aotearoa New Zealand. We explore how some activist groups are attempting to mobilise care and concern around deep‐sea…
Shifting relationships to place: A relational place-based perspective on SES resilience
Disasters literally and figuratively shake the foundations of place in a community. If place is seen as both a construction of and contributor to identity, then the impact of disasters can result in not only physical displacement but can also fundamentally displace community and individual identity. Despite this, resilience theory, a widely used approach for dealing with disaster, provides little empirical or theoretical background on the role of…
Contested water, contested development: Unpacking the hydro-social cycle of the Ñuble River, Chile
The way that water is entangled with broader social relations has become a prominent concern in political ecology, geography and beyond. Employing the concept of the hydro-social cycle highlights how water is produced by, and simultaneously constitutes, social and power relations. Applying and expanding the hydro-social cycle as an analytical lens, this paper explores the contestation of different discourses of water. Looking at the conflict over…
Reregulating for Freshwater Enclosure: A State of Exception in Canterbury, Aotearoa New Zealand
In this paper, we argue that democracy is increasingly indistinguishable from authoritarianism, in a process that is entangled with neoliberalisms. To build this argument, we examine a case study of central government intervention in regional environmental decision making in Aotearoa New Zealand through the lens of Agamben's “state of exception”. The intervention—unprecedented and unconstitutional—squeezed democratic spaces for decision making ab…
Precious2Mine: Post-politics, Colonial Imaginary, or Hopeful Political Moment
Radical democrats and geographers have argued that democracy requires a vibrant contestatory politics to challenge the contemporary “post-political” conjuncture. Despite suggestions of post-political processes in Aotearoa New Zealand, there are signs of a more vibrant politics. In 2010 an environmental campaign called “2Precious2Mine” captured the national geographic imaginary. Drawing on this example, we argue that although a space was opened fo…

The multicultural paradox: The role of critique, the postpolitical and a radical democracy
Negotiating a ‘democratic ethos’: Moving Beyond the Agonistic – Communicative Divide
Theories of urban democracy that are relevant, critical and take sufficient account of the pervasiveness of power continue to pose challenges. Two theoretical frameworks dominate in relation to planning and democracy – Habermasian-inspired communicative planning theory and Mouffe’s agonistic pluralism. Both theoretical frames are typically held to be incommensurable because of fundamental ontological and epistemological differences and the debate…
Being in Myth and Community: Resistance, Lived Existence, and Democracy in a North England Mill Town
Community' has long been critiqued in academic circles as a social construct with the potential to subsume and exclude individuals under a determination of collectivity. In contrast, community continues to be posed as an ideal in urban policy, particularly in the United Kingdom. In this paper I employ Jean-Luc Nancy's thinking of community as myth and as existential being to interrogate the thorny issue of how community is constructed and the eff…

The Possibilities of a Politics of Place Beyond Place? A Conversation with Doreen Massey
What follows is the edited and footnoted transcript of a conversation between Doreen Massey, recipient of an Honorary Doctorate from University of Glasgow in July 2009, and the Human Geography Research Group in the Department of Geographical and Earth Sciences, University of Glasgow, to mark this occasion. Themes explored include Doreen Massey's early work and influences ranging from geology to Marxism and feminism; recent political engagements i…
Psychosocial Stress and Cervical Neoplasia Risk
OBJECTIVE: We assessed the association between psychosocial stress and preinvasive cervical neoplasia development controlling for HR-HPV infection. METHODS: This case-control study enrolled low-income women receiving family planning services at health department clinics. There were 59 cases with biopsy confirmed HSIL and 163 with low-grade SIL and 160 controls with normal cervical cytology. A modified SLE scale was used to measure stressful event…
