Settler Colonialism, GeoMedia, and the Geographical Imaginary
(Re)Mapping Native Denver and the Making of Native Assembled Counter-Cartographies
Undoing settler imaginaries: (Re)imagining digital knowledge politics
Geography as a discipline is entangled in settler colonial regimes that continue to shape geographic practice and the boundaries of geographical knowledge. Digital technologies play an instrumental role in shaping the view of geography and sociospatial relations. This paper traces the construction of the settler imaginary in geographic thought through scholarship and digital geographies and anticolonialism. By bridging anticolonial scholarship an…
Towards accountable digital geographies
The proliferation and everywhereness of digital materialities, operations, and mediations require attention to the ways that colonial knowledge assumes access to Indigenous lands. In this commentary, I consider what an agenda for accountable digital geographies might look like. With the turn to (re)imagine the futures of geographical praxis, I invite a collective inquiry on how digital practices can work toward geographies of accountability and r…
Portraits for change: Refusal politics and liberatory futures
We analyze viewers' experiences and understandings of an installation of portraits featuring vendors who sell Seattle's Real Change street newspaper. In doing so, we argue that Real Change is enacting a complex politics of refusal and explore this in relation to future political lives of Real Change activism. We explore political possibilities for the transformation of urban life opened by the politics the exhibit expresses. We analyze the exhibi…
Multiple Temporalities of Household Labour: The Challenge of Assessing Women's Empowerment
The economic empowerment of women remains a central feature of development projects worldwide. This article explores these empowerment aspirations by examining various temporal complexities related to two development projects in South India targeting individual cooking and fuel-collection routines. It argues that three temporal considerations of household labour - polychronic time, collectivized time and hybrid labour/leisure time - are largely o…
Research on Emissions, Air quality, Climate, and Cooking Technologies in Northern Ghana (REACCTING): Study rationale and protocol
REACCTING is well-poised to generate useful data on the impact of a cookstove intervention on a wide range of outcomes. By comparing different technologies side by side and employing an interdisciplinary approach to study this issue from multiple perspectives, this study may help to inform future efforts to improve health and quality of life for populations currently relying on open fires for their cooking needs
