Space technologies for development? Practicing sovereignty, beyond inclusion
The increasing use and integration of space technologies in International Development projects raises fundamental questions about the ways in which these technologies are produced and applied, for what purposes and what ideas of innovation underpin their knowledge frameworks. With reference to two UK Space Agency (UKSA)-funded projects aiming to create an environmental information system using remotely sensed data, this article considers the poss…
How does community food growing build community bonds? Insights from grassroots visual storytelling
Community food growing (CFG) builds community bonds and placemaking through emotional attachments. This process has been illuminated by grassroots visual storytelling, whereby CFG participants made short video stories about their experiences. The stories inspired community-building for better futures so as to encourage greater support for and participation in CFG. These stories were analysed to illuminate the social basis and roles of CFG. Partic…
Indigenous Economies for Post-Covid Development
Despite being disproportionately susceptible to infectious diseases like COVID-19, many Indigenous peoples still hold traditional knowledge that is responding and adapting to new circumstances and crises such as the pandemic. In this paper, we present the findings from a participatory video project in eight Makushi and Wapishan Indigenous communities in the North Rupununi, Guyana, that explored the difficulties and disruptions that came about thr…
Bridging indigenous and scientific knowledge
Local ecological knowledge must be placed at the center of environmental governance
Why are we doing it? Exploring participant motivations within a participatory video project
One of the most recurring strengths attributed to the use of participatory video is its ability to enable social change, advocacy, activism and empowerment. Yet, to what extent is this a joint vision of all parties involved in the participatory video process? Why do researchers and participants do participatory video? What are their differential motivations and how does this affect decisionmaking during the participatory video process? In this pa…
Amazonian Roots
Roller, Heather (2014) Amazonian Roots: Indigenous Mobility and Colonial Communities in Northern Brazil, Stanford University Press ( Stanford, CA), xx + 342 pp. £44.00 hbk. It is so refreshing to read a book on the history of the indigenous peoples of the Brazilian Amazon that is devoid of academic jargon, grand theories or promotes special interests. Heather Roller has done a sterling job of engaging with original archival material written by th…

Indigenous identity and environmental governance in Guyana, South America
In an era of increasing access to digital technologies, Indigenous communities are progressively more able to present sophisticated and differentiated narratives in order to maximise their long-term survival. In this article, we explore how Indigenous communities use participatory video and participatory photography as tools of Indigenous media to enhance, adapt and/or reinforce their collective social memory. This social memory is key for identi…
Our common future? Cross-scalar scenario analysis for social–ecological sustainability of the Guiana Shield, South America
The role of social memory in natural resource management
This research looked at the role of social memory for adaptive natural resource management within indigenous communities of the North Rupununi social‐ecological system ( SES ) in Guyana. Secondary data from historic texts and archives were first used to build a social and ecological history of the North Rupununi SES . Current social memory ‘in use’ was then surfaced through a participatory video ( PV ) process led by the indigenous community. Fro…
The challenges and opportunities of participatory video in geographical research
Participatory video, a methodological approach with a history in social and community development, is increasingly being used in geographic research. In this paper, we reflect on the dual processes of research and participatory video and discuss some of the challenges, struggles as well as successes during the process of using participatory video as a means of creating and communicating geographical knowledge. Working within a natural resource ma…
Capacity building for adaptive management
As natural-resource issues become more complex, particularly in developing-world contexts, there is a growing need for adaptive management solutions. However, the skills necessary to deal with these increasingly complex situations are not always present in many low-income countries. There is also a growing recognition that many capacity-building activities are limited in their effectiveness. This article suggests a problem-based learning (PBL) ap…
Using a systems viability approach to evaluate integrated conservation and development projects
Integrated conservation and development projects (ICDPs) are common place in the field of biodiversity conservation. However, there is little evidence in the wider literature on the successes of these projects, with failure attributed to a range of factors, including a bias on either conservation or development, weak assumptions and limited monitoring and evaluation. In this paper, we evaluate an ICDP in the North Rupununi district of Guyana. Usi…
Skills at Master's Level in Geography Higher Education
The perceptions of ‘skills’ at taught Master's level between course directors (teaching of skills), alumni (learning and use of skills) and employers (the skills requirements) were compared within the field of development and environment studies. The findings underline some of the commonalities and discrepancies between what is taught, what is learnt and what is required in terms of skills. The results are discussed in relation to the growing div…
Natural Resource Management and Development Discourses in the Caribbean
International discourses on environment and development help to shape global shared understandings of environmental issues. This paper describes the environment and development history of Guyana and Jamaica through pre-colonial, colonial, independence and market liberalisation stages. Two opposing discourses are used to frame this history: a dominant global environmental discourse characterised by technical and ‘scientific’ expertise and hierarch…
Critical reflections on practice
To date, discussions on positionality and the relationship with research collaborators have been very much in the human geography realm. In this paper, we explore issues of expertise, positionality, collaboration and participation from our perspective as physical geographers working in a developing country context. We trace our journey from identifying ourselves as top‐down ‘experts’ to participatory ‘facilitators’, and the difficulties and dilem…
Teaching Geography for Social Transformation
This paper considers how higher education geography is a discipline that can make a significant contribution to addressing inequality and engaging with the agenda for social change. It adopts the view that the teaching of geography can promote social transformation through the development of knowledge, skills and values in students that encourage social justice and equity. The paper explores how teaching about social transformation is closely int…
