Children breathe their own air: Reflections on children’s geographies, the urban political ecology of air pollution, and ongoing participatory action research with undergraduates near an east London p…
The health effects of urban air pollution are particularly acute for children. This paper details a research project with undergraduates drawing on UPE and children’s geography that attempts to address the uneven burdens of air pollution in an east London neighbourhood
We dredge because it doesn’t work”: Urban political ecology and the uneven geographies of sediment metabolism
As shipping companies deploy increasingly larger ships, urban ports around the world must build and maintain new infrastructure to accommodate these vessels. One subaqueous component of these urban infrastructures is the dredged fairways in port and river bottoms through which ships pass. This paper examines the urban political ecological significance of these fairways, framing the movement, governance, and politics of dredging as sediment metabo…
Can Science Writing Collectives Overcome Barriers to More Democratic Communication and Collaboration? Lessons from Environmental Communication Praxis in Southern Appalachia
Despite compelling reasons to involve nonscientists in the production of ecological knowledge, cultural and institutional factors often dis-incentivize engagement between scientists and nonscientists. This paper details our efforts to develop a biweekly newspaper column to increase communication between ecological scientists, social scientists, and the communities within which they work. Addressing community-generated topics and written by a coll…
Maps and contradictions: Urban political ecology and cartographic expertise in southern Appalachia
Nature Talk in an Appalachian Newspaper: What Environmental Discourse Analysis Reveals about Efforts to Address Exurbanization and Climate Change
As the people of Southern Appalachia confront the challenges of climate change and exurban development, their foundational beliefs about the environment and human-environment relations will significantly shape the types of individual and collective action that they imagine and pursue. In this paper, we use critical discourse analysis of an influential small-town newspaper to understand how the environment is being represented publicly and conside…
The making of a landslide: Legibility and expertise in exurban southern Appalachia
This article explores the changing legibility of the 2004 deadly Peeks Creek landslide in mountainous, historically rural, and rapidly urbanizing Macon County, North Carolina. The event is interesting because local media and other residents made it legible as flood, drawing on local historical experience of flooding. Months and years later, however, many of the same residents made Peeks Creek legible as a landslide. In other words, this event was…
