Consumption studies in the global south
This article addresses the collective learnings from studying consumption across various regions to inspire and inform further research on low-carbon transitions and the pursuit of the good life. In order to shed light on the growing dynamism and richness of the field of consumption studies outside traditional circuits of discussion in the so-called global north, this article presents an experimental writing exercise conducted with 16 scholars wh…
Future schools and the energy implications of AI in education
‘School of the future’ scenarios remain a popular means of animating policy, industry and public debates around issues relating to technological, economic, societal and environmental change. To date, these scenarios rarely involve the perspectives of school students. Purpose of the research: This study explores how scenarios can be used to engage school children in futures thinking, particularly regarding the uncertainties surrounding artificial …
We'd rather have a clean planet than anything else”
The increasing uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) presents both opportunities and challenges for the future electricity grid. Managing the uncertainties associated with EV uptake, charging routines, and household energy consumption patterns is crucial for grid operators to ensure stability and efficiency. This study responds to the prevalent belief within the energy industry that in lieu of effective time-of-use (TOU) tariffs and price-based incen…
We’re already experts in school, right
Automation in electric vehicle futures
In this article we consider how people will live with the automated features of electric vehicles (EVs) in possible futures.We complicate dominant industry and government narratives which: envisage EVs as part of future fully automated systems -involving remote or wireless EV charging, vehicle-to-grid and vehicle-to-home electricity systems; and see these moves as driving a transition to decarbonisation, renewable energy and environmental sustain…
Healthy, safe and comfortable
Health concerns regarding indoor air quality are leading to greater uptake of air purification technologies internationally, alongside the continuing normalisation of air conditioning. With thermal comfort largely considered separately from air quality, the energy sector risks inadequately preparing for the emergence of new indoor air practices and associated ‘needs’. Conceptually grounded in theories of social practice and design anthropological…
Bringing energy futures to life
Automated and absent
Industry builds energy scenarios to help plan and prepare for future uncertainties. Scenarios are a key mechanism for mobilising shared socio-technical imaginations to directly inform future-making and have very real implications for the energy system today. Whose visions and objectives are incorporated into them, and what assumptions they hold, are crucial to understanding the form that futures take. The components included in scenario building …
Building plausible scenarios for future living
Current energy scenario-building techniques often overlook the influence of lifestyles, emerging non-energy technology, and household preferences on energy use. This oversight results in an overreliance on assumptions about individuals to contextualise quantitative energy consumption patterns and speculations on energy technology adoption, tariff responses, and automation acceptance. In response to this gap, this paper presents an innovative mixe…
Design anthropological foresighting
This article introduces design anthropological foresighting. It does so through the example of automated futures and demonstrates how this approach can be applied to investigate, understand and reframe dominant assumptions about how people will live with emerging technologies and energy systems in possible futures. In doing so we: outline the theoretical and methodological principles of design anthropological foresighting, and the implications th…
Converging old and new carbon frontiers in northern Australia
Over the past 15 years, international climate policy and governance practice have shifted from a linear model of carbon emissions management to a circular model. Whereas the former primarily focused on reducing absolute emissions, the latter focuses on balancing emissions sources and sinks. Australia, a major global exporter of ‘old’ carbon resources such as coal, has actively embraced circular carbon policies and their related ‘new’ carbon resou…
Co-Presence and Contingency
Recent interest in futures anthropology has argued that the discipline should play a more active role in shaping futures. However, this raises methodological problems for accessing futures and recreating the co-presence that is central to ethnography. Studying automated futures is particularly challenging because of the strong visions of technology-led futures, which rely on solutionist narratives and fail to account for everyday life. This artic…
Energy, emerging technologies and gender in homes
HIGHLIGHTS This special issue explores a key question in the energy transition: how are visions, relationships and practices with emerging technologies gendered, and what does this mean for home relations and energy outcomes? Homes are deeply gendered spaces where labour, care, technology management and household responsibilities are unequally distributed. Yet, as the papers in this special issue reveal, policy and industry visions tend to overlo…
Emerging technologies’ impacts on ‘man caves’ and their energy demand
Colloquially termed the 'man cave', the shed provides a conceptual lens for thinking about the home's 'edges rather than its centres'. This paper explores the implications for energy demand arising from the extension of existing and emerging technologies into these gendered 'edges' of the home. As well as considering sheds as physical sites, the paper draws on relational geographies of social practice to understand the peripheries of the property…
The final voids
In the Australian coal mining region of the Hunter Valley, a political contest is taking shape around the mine final voids, the large holes that are left in the ground after mining has finished. This article describes an effort led by the coal lobby to fill the voids with imaginative and hopeful futures, described as a process of techno-speculative deferral. In contrast, local environmentalists (Indigenous and non-Indigenous) are drawing on dispo…
Personalization and the Smart Home
Smart home futures predicted and promoted in the discourses and practices of industry increasingly figure forms of automated decision making (ADM) into existing narratives of technological solutionism. This article interrogates how these narratives are constituted, the futures they imagine, predict and promote, and how people and households are presented within these futures. Our discussion is based on a content analysis of technology industry re…
Digital technology and energy imaginaries of future home life
The moral case for coal
Concern with climate change, and coal's contribution to it, has centred coal in an intensely moralised politics of accusation in Australia. This paper discusses the ordinary ethics through which pro‐coal lobbyists in Australia relate to this moralised landscape and offers an analysis of the everyday and ordinary production of complicity with climate change. It argues that complicity is not just something that insufficiently ethical people engage …
Blaming in the Boom and Bust
In Australian mining towns like Moranbah, relationships between labour, capital and the state have long been defined by struggles over housing amidst cascading cycles of boom and bust linking global commodity markets to local real estate. Most recently, the emergence of 'fly-in-fly-out' labour arrangements, partially in response to rampant real estate speculation, have challenged mine workers' rights to housing and community. Focusing on the scha…
