Copenhagen not Copacabana? Practices and Perspectives for Fieldwork Without Flying
Climate emergency compels higher education institutions to reduce their emissions footprint, prompting geographic educators to reconsider carbon‐intensive field course education. Retaining international experiences far from home might remain possible via overland rail. To test long‐distance train travel with students we piloted a field study visit from the UK to Copenhagen. Responding to calls for critical reflection on how to collectively advanc…
Reaping what we sow
In many transdisciplinary research settings, a lack of attention to the values underpinning project aims can inhibit stakeholder engagement and ultimately slow or undermine project outcomes. As a research collective (The Careoperative), we have developed a set of four shared values through a facilitated visioning process, as central to the way we work together: care, reflexivity, inclusivity, and collectivity. In this paper, we explore the implic…
The future of geography field course pedagogy in UK higher education
Field courses are widely regarded as integral to geography degree programmes, providing students with opportunities for experiential learning, often in unfamiliar international environments. Yet, this key area of pedagogy appears increasingly unsustainable and complex for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) within the context of the urgent need for decarbonisation, increasing financial costs, and the institutional challenges of comprehensively e…
Getting intimate with crops in horticulture's loveless human-plant relations
Intimacy suggests familiar, close-up knowing, resulting in emotional attachment to another. Such affective encounters occur between domestic gardeners and their plants, but what about commercial horticulture? Anna Tsing suggests not, characterizing plantationocene agribusiness as production without the love (2012). Relations between commercial growers and plants have scarcely been considered, but horticulture complicates multispecies ethics as pl…
More than meat? Livestock farmers’ views on opportunities to produce for plant-based diets
Promoting plant-based diets as a response to climate crisis has clear implications for producers of animal derived foods, but surprisingly little research considers their perspectives on this. Our exploration focused on farming strongly associated with meat production in Wales, UK. Mindful of polarised debates around plant-based diets, we considered dietary transition as an opportunity to produce for new markets. The first aim was to identify whe…

Awesome women and bad feminists
In her book, 'Bad Feminist', Roxane Gay claims this label shamelessly, embracing the contradictory aspects of enacting feminist practice while fundamentally being 'flawed human[s]'. This article tells a story inspired by and enacting Roxane Gay's approach in academia, written by five cis-gendered women geographers. It is the story of a proactive, everyday feminist initiative to survive as women in an academic precariat fuelled by globalised, neol…
Questioning care cultivated through connecting with more-than-human communities
This paper challenges the proposition that connecting with nature through direct encounters with nonhumans promotes ethical regard for them. It probes the limits of more-than-human ethics founded on personal encounters which struggle to cross distance and difference. I consider how personal engagement influences ethical perspectives and attend to processes by which care for nonhumans is learnt. Empirical research in community gardens reveals dive…
Association between Food for Life, a Whole Setting Healthy and Sustainable Food Programme, and Primary School Children’s Consumption of Fruit and Vegetables
The promotion of dietary health is a public health priority in England and in other countries. Research shows that the majority of children do not consume the recommended amount of fruit and vegetables (F&V). There has been relatively little research on the impact of programmes, such as Food for Life, that (a) integrate action on nutrition and food sustainability issues, and (b) are delivered as commissions in a local authority area. The study so…
