Health equity impacts of climate change in the UK: A rapid systematic review and interactive evidence gap map
The aim of this project was to assess and summarise the evidence on the health equity impacts of climate change in the UK. We conducted a rapid systematic review (search up to: February 2024) of primary studies reporting on the health impacts of climate change exposure pathways (hazards; health risks; solutions and responses) for populations at-risk of experiencing health inequalities, identified using the Core20PLUS framework (people experiencin…
Adapting to climate change: Insights on being better prepared for Ireland’s future climate
Climate change is already impacting Ireland, through rising temperatures, more frequent extreme weather events, and increasing risks such as coastal erosion and flooding. Volume 3 of the Irish Climate Change Assessment Report (ICCA), launched in 2024, synthesises extensive research on past and projected climate-change impacts and provides a roadmap for being prepared for Ireland’s future climate. While climate action nationally has been focused o…
Bridging senses of place and mobilities scholarships to inform social-ecological systems governance: A research agenda
Uncertainty and change are increasingly commonplace as communities respond to impacts of social-ecological change including climate change, and dangerous levels of pollution. Given the extent of these crises, new approaches are needed to support responses. Here we identify challenges and discuss insights that the nexus of Senses of place (SoP) and mobilities research offers in navigating such uncertainty. We conducted a two-round Delphi, followed…
Health and wellbeing implications of adaptation to flood risk
Adaptation strategies to ameliorate the impacts of climate change are increasing in scale and scope around the world, with interventions becoming a part of daily life for many people. Though the implications of climate impacts for health and wellbeing are well documented, to date, adaptations are largely evaluated by financial cost and their effectiveness in reducing risk. Looking across different forms of adaptation to floods, we use existing li…
Attachements et changement dans un monde en transformation
Posons la question autour de nous : « pourquoi les gens ne changent-ils pas ? ». La réponse sera le plus souvent : « parce qu’ils sont trop attachés à leurs privilèges, traditions, acquis, relations, cultures, terroirs, etc. Ils ne changeront jamais ! ». Cette théorie qui veut que l’attachement empêche le changement fait partie du sens commun. Pourtant, depuis de nombreuses années, les chercheurs qui étudient le concept d’attachement, et notammen…
Scholar Collectives Advocating for Social Justice in Education
This paper describes the development, goals, and activities of six scholar collectives that work toward social justice in education. Each group is connected to higher education and engages its members to speak out against social and structural inequities and to push for changes toward social justice in early childhood, K–12, and higher education and for the general public. Three collectives are location based: the Chicagoland Researchers and Advo…
Three ways social identity shapes climate change adaptation
Adaptation to climate change is inescapably influenced by processes of social identity-how people perceive themselves, others, and their place in the world around them. Yet there is sparse evidence into the specific ways in which identity processes shape adaptation planning and responses. This paper proposes three key ways to understand the relationship between identity formation and adaptation processes: (a) how social identities change in respo…

The black box of power in polycentric environmental governance
Failure to address unsustainable global change is often attributed to failures in conventional environmental governance. Polycentric environmental governance—the popular alternative—involves many centres of authority interacting coherently for a common governance goal. Yet, longitudinal analysis reveals many polycentric systems are struggling to cope with the growing impacts, pace, and scope of social and environmental change. Analytic shortcomin…
How local water and waterbody meanings shape flood risk perception and risk management preferences
The sharp end of climate change is being, and will continue to be, experienced at the local and personal scale. How changing patterns of hazards interplay with local landscapes is an important focus of risk management, both in understanding how place-based risk is perceived and in identifying how local populations would like these risks to be managed. In this study we focus on the object of hazard and examine how different meanings associated wit…

Queer kinks and the arc of justice: Meditations on Failure, Persistence, and Public Education
The Trump administration has quickly rescinded some of the limited protections made available to some gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people – for example employment protections for LGBT federal employees – and has doubled down on a military agenda – proposing increased federal funds to the military. This political moment – a more nakedly visible endorsement of structures of oppression – falls on the heels of the neoliberal 'gay-fr…
Introduction: Defiant Memory Work
Introduction: Defiant Memory Work Erica R. Meiners (bio) and Therese Quinn (bio) On a hot Chicago summer day in 1919, a Black child, Eugene Williams, was murdered by a white man while they were swimming at Lake Michigan's Twenty-Ninth Street beach. The child, floating in the cool water, drifted across an invisible line that separated white from Black swimmers and maintained the city's racial apartheid in all leisure activities, as everywhere else…

Teaching Toward Democracy 2e: Educators As Agents of Change
Teaching Toward Democracy examines the contested space of schooling and school reform with a focus on the unique challenges and opportunities that teaching in a democratic society provides. Chapters are written in the spirit of notes, conversations and letters the nationally recognized team of authors wish they received in their journeys into teaching. Building on the conversational and accessible approach, this revised edition includes additiona…
Sharing the Pain: Perceptions of Fairness Affect Private and Public Response to Hazards
Structural causes of vulnerability to hazards are well established in geographical research. But what facilitates individual adaptive behavior? How does the performance of government intervention affect such behavior? Drawing on political economy, environmental psychology, and climate justice perspectives, we explore how perceived fairness of responses to weather-related extreme events affects the public and private distribution of responsibility…
Teaching Toward Democracy: Educators as Agents of Change
"Teaching Toward Democracy" examines the contested space of schooling and school reform with a focus on the unique challenges and opportunities that teaching in a democratic society provides. Teaching in and for democracy involves developing particular qualities of mind that teachers explore and work to develop as they become more effective educators. Some chapters open with familiar experiences in the lives of teachers in schools (working with p…

Assessing After-School Programs as Contexts for Youth Development
Educators, policy makers, and funders increasingly argue that structured afterschool activities can provide youth with valuable supports for development. Studies assessing the impact of particular programs and strategies, however, are rare. This study presents a method of assessment that enables evaluation of varied youth programs in accordance with a youth development agenda. The data include a sample of 6th-through 10th-grade African American s…

Wide Awake to the World: The Arts and Urban Schools—Conflicts and Contributions of an After-School Program
While the benefits of arts involvement are increasingly clear, policies and practices consistent with this recognition are not proceeding apace. Nearly half the schools in the United States have no full-time arts teachers and emphases on “standards” have led to the elimination of the arts in many urban schools.This case study of a multi-year after-school arts program in urban public schools explores challenges and tensions that emerged during the…

Reading Histories of Popular Culture for Man-Crushes, Homoromances, and Other Fraternal Orders of Love
Pre-World War II examples of popular culture reveal surprising tolerance for male homoromance, according to author Jeffery Dennis. His book, We Boys Together: Teenagers in Love Before Girl-Craziness, analyzes media representations of boy-crazy boys before girl-craziness, and documents how compulsive heteronormativity was normalized
