The green ceiling for NRM careers in public service
Actors involved in environmental decision-making bring personal values that extend into the professional sphere, to varied effect. NRM professionals are encouraged to set aside personal values in the workplace. Using semi-structured interviews, this research investigated how ecocentric values are contested in public service NRM in local government in South-East Queensland, Australia. Eight participants described challenges advocating from their d…

Storying Pandemia Collectively
During the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, a group of academic geographers got together across borders to share our varied experiences. In this paper we illustrate how this storying of pandemia helped us critically and collaboratively understand, (re)imagine and reconfigure ways of living during a global pandemic. We were especially interested in exploring different forms and practices of collective thinking and academic labour, within and b…
Collective care and climate repair
This engagement with Chantel Carr's article, ‘Repair and care: Locating the work of climate crisis’, considers possible organising structures of care and climate repair, and the ways this labour can work to reproduce or to challenge settler-colonial capitalist states. Drawing on critical disability studies and crip theory, this essay considers alternative imaginaries of mutual aid and care that can inform how we conceive of and organise the work …
Reimagining climate change research and policy from the Australian adaptation impasse
Water trading by Aboriginal organisations in NSW, Australia
Markets are a contentious way to manage demand for water because they can produce or exacerbate inequities for small and more vulnerable water holders, including Indigenous peoples. In Australia, which has the world's largest water market in the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB), settler-colonial governments have transformed water law and policy to enable water trading with negligible consideration of the effects on Aboriginal peoples. We present the fi…

Enclave urbanism in Ghana’s Greater Accra Region
Trends in Aboriginal water ownership in New South Wales, Australia
There is significant interest in global trends in Indigenous land titling but relatively less attention given to Indigenous water tenure despite significant reform of water governance regimes in many regions of the world. This paper considers the intertwined and complex history of Aboriginal land and water tenure in the Australian State of New South Wales, within the Murray-Darling Basin. Its temporal scope encompasses the initial dispossession e…
Assembling Accra through new city imaginary
Land ownership is given little attention in scholarly accounts of how and why new city visions are mobilised and implemented in Africa. In this paper we examine the evolution of Accra City Extension Project (ACEP) — an urban strategy to modernise and respond to urbanisation pressures in the Greater Accra Region, Ghana. We trace the origins and rationale of the ACEP, the actors involved, resources, institutional capacities and their relations. Dra…
The City Under Covid‐19
This critical commentary reflects on a rapidly mobilised international podcast project, in which 25 urban scholars from around the world provided audio recordings about their cities during COVID‐19. New digital tools are increasing the speeds, formats and breadth of the research and communication mediums available to researchers. Voice recorders on mobile phones and digital audio editing on laptops allows researchers to collaborate in new ways, a…
Extractive resources and emotional geographies
Multispecies sustainability
Non-technical summary The sustainability concept seeks to balance how present and future generations of humans meet their needs. But because nature is viewed only as a resource, sustainability fails to recognize that humans and other living beings depend on each other for their well-being. We therefore argue that true sustainability can only be achieved if the interdependent needs of all species of current and future generations are met, and prop…

Managing the challenges of combining mobilities of care and commuting
Women face particular travel challenges when combining commuting with broader caring responsibilities. This policy note considers the issues associated with meeting the transport needs of working women as they navigate their daily ‘mobilities of care’. We extend the concept of ‘mobilities of care’ by combining an intersectional understanding of the transport task with the principles embodied in the child-friendly cities agenda. These are discusse…
It's the Lungfish, stupid
Since the post-positivist turn in the 20th century, many scholars and philosophers have argued for the importance of Other Ways Of Knowing - including local, embodied, situated, partial, and indigenous knowledges - in developing a better understanding of the world. This argument has been further stressed by a large subset of scholars working in the fields of geography, policy, planning, natural resource management, and community development, yet …
Intersectionality and kyriarchy
To better understand injustice in our cities, and to understand how vulnerability to impacts of climate change is constructed, scholars have noted that we need to incorporate multiple factors that shape identity and power in our analyses, including race, class, gender, ethnicity and sexuality. Less widely acknowledged is the intersectionality of these factors; that specific combinations of factors shape their own social position and thus affect e…
Neoliberalism, Mineral Development and Indigenous People
There have been suggestions in recent literature that neoliberalism and globalisation present positive opportunities for Indigenous communities engaging in resource development projects on their traditional lands. This paper will present evidence from preliminary research on the neoliberal restructuring that has endured for those Indigenous communities of Queensland who have engaged with mineral development opportunities. Initial findings indicat…
