Practical weather knowledge
Climate change is causing more frequent and extreme weather. Among other consequences, this presents challenges for how people maintain comfortable and healthy indoor environments. Household management of energy consumption – increasingly important in grids reliant on weather-dependent generation like wind and solar – is also complicated by a changing climate. Weather is thus of growing importance to both human comfort and health, and the transit…
We'd rather have a clean planet than anything else”
The increasing uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) presents both opportunities and challenges for the future electricity grid. Managing the uncertainties associated with EV uptake, charging routines, and household energy consumption patterns is crucial for grid operators to ensure stability and efficiency. This study responds to the prevalent belief within the energy industry that in lieu of effective time-of-use (TOU) tariffs and price-based incen…
Non-energy feedback
Energy feedback is a central plank in demand management interventions aiming to reduce the quantity or shift the timing of domestic energy use – changes to patterns of consumption widely seen as necessary in energy systems powered by intermittent renewable generation. Despite significant resources and attention, however, the changes in consumption achieved to date through energy feedback have been relatively limited in both extent and duration. A…
I never look at a temperature device, I just feel it”
Drawing on insights from Danish and Australian households, this article explores the role of practical knowledge in shaping the energy-intensive practices of domestic heating and cooling. Alongside technological interventions designed to shift and shed energy consumption, prevailing discourses regarding heating and cooling regularly emphasise the importance of householders rationally and efficiently using energy at home. Conversely, this study sh…
Energy housekeeping
Emerging energy technologies and tools aim to enhance peoples’ understanding and control over household energy. Yet, important questions are emerging about precisely whose understanding and control such technologies benefit, and how increasingly commonplace tools may shape the gendered division of domestic labour. This article explores how smart energy technologies, and in particular energy feedback, may reproduce or further entrench the unequal …
Playing games with the weather
This article examines the potential of a novel card game method designed to provide insights into connections between mundane everyday practices and renewable energy generation. The method was developed as part of an ethnographic project exploring Australian householders’ experiences of weather and climate and evaluating their impacts on everyday practices and localised energy production. The card game drew inspiration from other similar methods …
Smart Home Masculinities
Existing research has shown dominant smart home imaginaries to be gendered visions of technologically deterministic lives of affluent young white men and middle-class hetero-normative white cultures. Instead, we argue, a more realistic, plausible and ethical approach to smart home design needs to originate from the different starting point of gender diversity and equality in the home. To demonstrate this, we situate smart home design within the d…
Automation, wellbeing and Digital Voice Assistants
Digital Voice Assistants (DVAs) like Google Home provide automated news, media and other content directly into the home. In this article, we outline how Google Home’s content delivery can support the wellbeing and independence of older people. We argue that automated media provided by DVAs enrols older people in a dialectic relationship with the automated content and feminised conversation they deliver, uniquely performed within people’s own ever…

Recent Work on the Concept of Rights
This chapter focuses on the concept of rights, including the concept of human rights, from 1963 to 1978. It presents general characterizations of rights and discusses treatments of the defeasibility of rights with special attention to the notion of a prima facie right. In Feinberg's theory a right always has two principal elements: a valid claim-to something and a valid claim-against someone. Rights, according to H. J. McCloskey, are best "explai…
Cambridge Rawls Lexicon
John Rawls is widely regarded as one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century, and his work has permanently shaped the nature and terms of moral and political philosophy, deploying a robust and specialized vocabulary that reaches beyond philosophy to political science, economics, sociology, and law. This volume is a complete and accessible guide to Rawls' vocabulary, with over 200 alphabetical encyclopaedic entries written by…
Human Rights
The United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. A burgeoning human rights movement followed, yielding many treaties and new international institutions and shaping the constitutions and laws of many states. Yet human rights continue to be contested politically and legally and there is substantial philosophical and theoretical debate over their foundations and implications. In this volume, distinguishe…

The New Liberalism
The 'New Liberalism' of the late nineteenth/early twentieth century is an unjustifiably neglected strand of the liberal tradition. By emphasising community as well as rights and liberty, thinkers such as T. H. Green, J. A. Hobson and L. T. Hobhouse support, but in distinctive ways, recent challenges to the established dichotomy between communitarianism and liberalism. These essays examine new liberal thinking and conclude that liberal and communi…
A system of rights
The justification of political authority is one of the long-standing issues of political philosophy, and one which persistently defies satisfactory solution. This book sets out to provide an original justification by establishing a background framework for dealing with the problem. Rex Martin begins by identifying the main elements of authority, arguing that they need to be linked in order to create a political authority that can be described as …
