Invisible actions in the energy system: Examining power relations of virtual power plants in Australia using actor network theory
With increasing levels of household solar across Australia, Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) have emerged as an innovative solution for electricity grid management. The use of VPPs on electricity markets promise benefits to aggregators, householders, and electricity networks. Orchestration is a central element of VPPs and describes the coordination of disparate Consumer Energy Resources (CER) such as household solar PV and batteries. This paper identi…
Slow Ontologies and Letting Be: Insights from Island Academics, Activists, and Artists
What impedes and enables flourishing among early career academics
Early career academics face a rapidly changing higher education sector and too little is known about what helps them flourish in the profession. This paper responds to that gap by reporting research undertaken in a single or intrinsic case study of one Australian university. We invited participation from a full cohort of 1019 academics in one large College. Of those, 41 early career academics or ECAs and 45 more senior academics or MSAs engaged i…
A labour of love: Cross‐cultural research collaboration between Australia and Indonesia
Novel combinations of global conditions, issues under investigation and research alliances require constant reassessment of how to conduct cross‐cultural research. Here we recount an exploratory investigation considering cross‐cultural research between Australian and Indonesian researchers. This paper sets out a range of considerations for practitioners of cross‐cultural research between our two countries. This investigation supports intentions t…
Islands, the Anthropocene, and Decolonisation
The Anthropocene is deployed as incontrovertible fact, yet its foundations merit strong critique to challenge how particular voices and locations are absented, silenced, or enrolled in the fallacies that attend this epochal framework. Other placed, grounded, and scale‐sensitive explanations exist for present and future state scenarios, including on islands—often the focus of apocalyptic thinking. Dealing with historical and contemporary struggles…
Decolonising methodologies: Emergent learning in island research
This article documents an attempt to decolonise our approach to methodology to explicitly show respect for islands and their islanders. Our twin starting points are an awareness of a turn to the Anthropocene in studies related to islands and an appreciation of the imperative to think outside colonial frames. The Anthropocene has been conceived as both an enduring colonising force and a significant moment in decolonisation, and islands have been v…
Making sense of school learning environments as infrastructures of care and spatial typologies
The Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership was established in 2010 to support teaching quality and leadership in schools and initial teacher education programs. Early on it produced seven Australian Professional Standards for Teachers affecting professional knowledge, professional practice, and professional engagement. Standard 4 is part of professional practice and requires teachers to create and maintain supportive and safe sch…
Frustration, confusion and excitement: Mixed emotional responses to new household solar-battery systems in Australia
Rural laboratories and experiment at the fringes: A case study of a smart grid on Bruny Island, Australia
From Modern Housing to Sustainable Suburbia: How Occupants and their Dwellings are Adapting to Reduce Home Energy Consumption
In this paper, we examine how occupants and their dwellings adapt to reduce home energy consumption. Our analysis is informed by recent studies which emphasize the materiality of the home, as well as the impact of technological change within the home. Such approaches are important in clarifying the relationship between home design and home practices, as well as understanding processes of change such as sustainable home adaptation. Drawing on peop…
