More-than-human geomorphologies
We propose more-than-human (MTH) geomorphologies as a conceptual reframing for undertaking socially situated, geographical and holistic landscape science. With increasing momentum in the environmental social sciences, more-than-human approaches offer less anthropocentric ways of perceiving landscapes and associated knowledge production. Here, the history of process conceptualisations in geomorphology, the study of the development and resultant la…
Teaching mandated learners to work with involuntary clients? Learner engagement and motivation on the PQiP academic programme
Motivation towards academic study typically includes a combination of intrinsic factors, for example personal development, interest/enjoyment of the subject and extrinsic reasons, for example employability or status. This article explores issues in supporting learners on the Professional Qualification in Probation (PQiP) who may lack intrinsic motivation towards the academic degree due to its ‘mandated’ nature. Drawing on Trotter’s concept of ‘in…
The influence of deprivation on cortical development and psychotic symptoms in youth
BACKGROUND: People with early-life experiences of deprivation are more likely to develop psychotic symptoms. While the mechanisms of this relationship are poorly understood, research suggests a role of cortical development. METHODS: In 6323 youth from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study, we examined associations between total, material, interpersonal, cognitive and neighbourhood deprivation at age 9-11 years and psychotic-like experi…
Problematising the Anthropocene: Geographic perspectives upon the riverscapes of Waimatā Catchment, Aotearoa New Zealand
Drawing on a Critical Physical Geography perspective, this paper problematises conceptualisations of the Anthropocene landscape of the Waimatā catchment on the East Cape, Gisborne district of Aotearoa New Zealand, through three lenses: forestry, restoration and indigeneity. Historical practices of arbitrary land division and resultant unsustainable forestry have caused multiple environmental, social and cultural problems within the catchment. Des…
Remaindered Life
As its preface helpfully summarizes, Remaindered Life “retells the story of the global capitalist present” generally told as a story of an agential Global North whose effects ripple to the Global South, by “recast[ing] the global present as instead the aftermath and continuing effects of unfinished movements of decolonization against an extant imperial relation of dispossession that serves up enabling milieus for the labor-capital relation” (x). …
