Participation and sensemaking in electric vehicle field trials: A study of fleet vehicle-to-grid in Australia
Vehicle-to-grid is a niche technology that has the potential to benefit electricity markets and support more renewable energy in the grid. However, interest from prospective users in adopting V2G is not well understood, particularly in the context of fleet vehicles. Technology-oriented field trials can contribute to the development of niche technologies. Trials usually focus on making engineered systems work, institutional embedding and testing b…
Who cares? How care practices uphold the decentralised energy order
This paper represents the decentralised energy order as a matter of care: so as to make visible the unequal burden of care and to encourage active caring. It extends an emerging overlap that exists in studies of repair and maintenance of material objects from science and technology studies (STS) and an increasing interest in the creation and maintenance of relationships of care in energy systems. Inspiration is drawn from feminist STS work that c…
Democratising sustainability transformations: Assessing the transformative potential of democratic practices in environmental governance
Many democracies find it difficult to act swiftly on problems such as climate change and biodiversity loss. This is reflected in long-standing debates in research and policy about whether democratic practices are capable of fostering timely, large-scale transformations towards sustainability. Drawing on an integrative review of scholarly literature from 2011 to early 2021 on sustainability transformations and the democracy-environment nexus, this…
Neighbourhood batteries in Australia: Anticipating questions of value conflict and (in)justice
Examining the vehicle-to-grid niche in Australia through the lens of a trial project
Frustration, confusion and excitement: Mixed emotional responses to new household solar-battery systems in Australia
Human mobility and environmental change: A survey of perceptions and policy direction
Explaining the “ebb and flow” of the problem stream: Frame conflicts over the future of coal seam gas (“fracking”) in Australia
Why do issues “fade” from the problem stream? This is an important but underresearched question, which this article examines by looking at the dynamic interaction between frames and frame sponsors. We develop a novel methodological approach that combines algorithmic coding (topic modelling) with hand-coding to track changes in the presence of frames and frame sponsors during periods of intense problematisation (“problem windows”) both within cont…
Indigenous (im)mobilities in the Anthropocene
This paper explores Indigenous (im)mobilities in the Anthropocene, and their relationship to Pacific Islands climate activism. In a context where Indigenous peoples and perspectives are poorly represented in global climate politics, it is important to understand how Pacific people represent their own interests and imagine their own futures as pressures to move due to climate change take hold. We examine political action outside of formal governan…
Transformative mobilities in the P acific: Promoting adaptation and development in a changing climate
Climate change is affecting Pacific life in significant and complex ways. Human mobility is shaped by climate change and is increasingly positioned by international agencies, policymakers, and governments as having an important role in both climate change adaptation and human development. We consider the potential for human mobility to promote adaptation and development among Pacific people in a changing climate. We argue that where Pacific peopl…
When anger meets joy: How emotions mobilise and sustain the anti-coal seam gas movement in regional Australia
In many countries, the expansion of unconventional gas exploration and development has been met with grassroots resistance; the scale and depth of which has surprised even movement organisers. An often-remarked feature of the movement’s success is the teaming up of farmers and environmental organisers, historically at odds with one another on other environmental issues. This paper explores the role of emotions in building alliances, and mobilisin…
The role of human agency in environmental change and mobility: A case study of environmental migration in Southeast Philippines
There has been significant progress made recently in conceptualizing the relationship between environmental change and mobility, particularly in highlighting its contextual and multidimensional nature. Yet there is still a need to broaden and deepen the range of conceptual tools for researchers interested in the relationship between environmental change and mobility. In particular, there remains a need for concepts that allow greater analytical e…
