Small towns taking different climate change adaptation paths: Challenging the Dominant Leadership Paradigm
Mainstream discourses on urban climate adaptation leaders have focused on large and medium-sized cities. Drawing from the urban governance literature, we identify four leadership characteristics: (1) structural advantage, (2) high levels of institutionalised climate policy, (3) showcase projects, and (4) visibility of adaptation actions to the outside world (domestic and international). To develop a leadership typology for small towns, we systema…
Examining the dynamics of social cohesion: A call for a different perspective on scaling impacts of real-world laboratories
Social cohesion is an important impact category for scaling real-world laboratory experiments. This idea has been largely overlooked in the transformative research debate. Based on observations within real-world laboratories that focused on iterative, co-creative, and practice-based climate change adaptation, we identify social cohesion, first, as a prerequisite for real-world laboratory impacts. Second, social cohesion can itself be an impact, e…
Classifying Social Adaptation Practices to Heat Stress—Learning from Autonomous Adaptations in Two Small Towns in Germany
Climate change adaptation planning and implementation have proliferated over the past years. However, we still lack an understanding of how society adapts itself outside of policy sectors and as part of what some refer to as “autonomous adaptation.” The way people respond to risk without deliberate interventions of public actors is not well understood. Given the increasing occurrence of climatic changes that affect our daily lives, the topic is r…
Black in the Classroom: Teaching Anti-Oppressive Practice in White Spaces
In 2019, three Black social work instructors simultaneously taught a required anti-oppressive practice (AOP) course to a cohort of undergraduate social work students. Through collective autoethnography (CAE), we sought to deepen our understanding of our experience within the classroom and how our identity as Black women was negotiated within the space. We used personal narrative essays and data from three autoethnographic conversations as the bas…
The 1999 Republic Referendum: Is there a Cycle
There are many ways to interpret the results of the 1999 Australian referendum on whether the Constitution should be altered 'to establish the Commonwealth of Australia as a republic with a president appointed by a two-thirds majority of the members of the Commonwealth Parliament'. One possible interpretation that has not been investigated so far suggests that the result reflects the fact that there is a 'preference cycle' over the three constitu…
The Logic of Spatial Politics: The 1998 Queensland Election
This paper combines one of the few facts we know about the 1998 Queensland state election, ie the break-up of seats before and after the poll, with some straightforward assumptions about political behaviour to develop a spatial model of the election. In doing so, we reach interesting conclusions about the nature of the political contest in Queensland and highlight the existence of somewhat surprising similarities and differences between the polic…
