Visualizing Human-Animal-Technology Relations
This paper explores the potential for less anthropocentric approaches to researching human-nonhuman relations through visual ethnography, critically examining the conceptualization of nonhuman animals as participants. Arguing that method in animal studies has developed more slowly than theory, it proposes visual approaches as a way of foregrounding nonhuman animals’ behavior and actions in “social” research. Questioning the meaning of “participat…
Animals, technologies and people in rural spaces: Introduction to a special issue on emerging geographies of animal–technology co-productions
Re-capturing bovine life: Robot–cow relationships, freedom and control in dairy farming
Robotic milking technologies and renegotiating situated ethical relationships on UK dairy farms
Why social scientists should engage with natural scientists
It has become part of the mantra of contemporary science policy that the resolution of besetting problems calls for the active engagement of a wide range of sciences. The paper reviews some of the key challenges for those striving for a more impactful social science by engaging strategically with natural scientists. It argues that effective engagement depends upon overcoming basic assumptions that have structured past interactions: particularly, …
Organised Chaos: An Interpretive Approach to Evidence-Based Policy Making in Defra
The Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has been heavily criticised for its handling of disease outbreaks in recent years by analysts who compare the conduct of officials with the model of evidence-based policy making, finding fault in their use of advisers or decision-making processes. In this article, I take an alternative approach to policy analysis, based on ethnographic research in the department. I explore the day-to-d…
Beyond Policy Networks: Policy Framing and the Politics of Expertise in the 2001 Foot and Mouth Disease Crisis
For the past decade, the policy community/issue network typology of pressure group interaction has been used to explain policy outcomes and the policy-making process. To re-examine the validity of this typology, the paper focuses on the UK government's response to the 2001 Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) crisis, and in particular the decision to pursue contiguous culling rather than vaccination to overcome the epidemic. Rather than illustrating the …
Productivism, Post‐Productivism and European Agricultural Reform: The Case of Sugar
Changes in European agricultural policy and institutions over the past two decades have been characterised as a transition from a productivist to a post‐productivist framework. This account of policy change has been accused of being overly structuralist and deterministic. This article makes the case for taking a commodity‐specific approach to analysing European agricultural policy reform to contribute to understanding the specificities and contin…
