  • The Optimism Ignited by Nature‐Based Solutions: Mobilizing Public Support and Policy Champions in a “First‐Ever” Oyster Reef Restoration Project

    Open Access•G Drew, Alexandra S Wawryk et al.•ARTICLE•Culture Agriculture Food and…•2026

    In recent years, a major push to restore oyster reefs has helped to revive the marine environments that were depleted in South Australia. Categorized as “Nature‐based Solutions” (NbS) that foster the return of biodiversity, these efforts have led to pockets of environmental optimism while countering an otherwise gloomy marine health forecast. By focusing on the personnel behind the push for oyster reef restoration, this discussion attends to the …

  • The governance of hydrosocial risk in peri-urban South Australia

    Open Access•Douglas Bardsley, Sophie Winsborough et al.•ARTICLE•Geographical Research•2024•Cited by: 1•References: 73

    Climate change is generating levels of environmental risk that are jeopardising modern development. As the management of water systems becomes more difficult, approaches to governance and engagement within regions are increasingly shaping adaptation successes and failures. We use theory on hydrosocial systems and risk to critically analyse stakeholder experiences of a transition in South Australian water management in peri-urban Adelaide, with de…

  • Post-crisis risk management: Water, community, and adaptation in a South Australian irrigation district

    Open Access•William Skinner, Douglas Bardsley et al.•ARTICLE•Conservation Ecology•2024•Cited by: 1

    Farmers in the Langhorne Creek–Angas Bremer basin irrigation district of South Australia have faced a series of hydrosocial crises relating to drought and groundwater depletion and degradation. The crises have been negotiated through concerted community engagement and cooperation. Adaptation responses have included a combination of infrastructural development and changes to the licensing, regulation, and oversight of irrigation governance, easing…

  • Imagining Himalayan Glacial Futures: Knowledge Rifts, Disciplinary Debates and Icy Vitalities at the Third Pole

    Open Access•G Drew, M D Gergan•ARTICLE•Social Anthropology•2024•References: 12

    Worry for the fate of Himalayan glaciers is prominent in climate change research, and encounters with glacial retreat shape imaginings of future ruination. Emotions run high when social scientists concerned with the implications of ice sheet collapse are confronted with the views of select glaciologists who downplay the scope of ice melt. At play in the disciplinary disagreements that arise are different orientations to time, and different imagin…

  • Vital Matter: Icy Liveliness in the Anthropocene

    Open Access•Karine Gagné, G Drew•ARTICLE•Social Anthropology•2024•Cited by: 1•References: 11

    The Anthropocene epoch is one where human mastery has left an indelible mark on our planet's geological record. A grand narrative that foregrounds human domination over nature, the Anthropocene should, however, not foreclose agentive capacity beyond the human. This special issue of Social Anthropology/Anthropologie Sociale explores engagements with ice, an iconic non-human element of the Anthropocene. The articles demonstrate how recognising ice'…

  • Managing Toxins and Making Water ‘Safe’: Consumer Buffering Practices in Contexts of Chemo-Uncertainty

    G Drew•ARTICLE•Canberra Anthropology•2023

    When it comes to water quality, seeing is not believing; even clear-looking water can harbour nefarious elements that are harmful to health. To protect against water’s hidden toxins, Indian consumers are adopting technologies designed to filter and mechanically ‘heal’ the waters they consume. This paper ethnographically examines the use(s) of household water management technologies based on ten weeks of ethnographic fieldwork in the city of Kochi…

  • Recentering the role of marine restoration science to bolster community stewardship

    Open Access•Dalton Mcafee, G Drew et al.•ARTICLE•Earth System Governance•2022•Cited by: 2•References: 2

    The restoration of marine habitats is becoming a primary strategy for managing healthy coastal ecosystems, but initiatives often fail due to conflicts with social or industry activities. Confronting the challenge of expanding marine restoration for the ‘Ocean Decade’, this paper explores the ways that researchers could improve the way Governments and practitioners engage stakeholders with restorations of high socio-ecological and economic value. …

  • Half a flood’s no good”: Flooding, viticulture, and hydrosocial terroir in a South Australian wine region

    Open Access•William Skinner, G Drew et al.•ARTICLE•Agriculture and Human Values•2022•Cited by: 3•References: 22

    Floods generate both risks and benefits. In Langhorne Creek, South Australia, a historically-embedded system of shared floodwater management exists among farmers, who rely on semi-regular flood inundations as part of the region’s hydrosocial terroir – a dynamic conjunction of water, landscape, social relations and agricultural practice. Unruly floods coexist with a heavily regulated and precisely measured system of modern water management for vit…

  • The 'drive and talk' as ethnographic method

    Open Access•G Drew, William Skinner et al.•ARTICLE•Anthropology Today•2022•Cited by: 4•References: 23

    Anthropologists have long embraced the value of the 'walk and talk' ethnographic method, which is an interactive means of generating research insights in situ - on site. In this article, we propose that there is room for an expanded appreciation of the 'drive and talk' method. While driving and talking with their interlocutors, researchers can elicit information prompted by features in the landscape and the environment that might be otherwise for…

  • Coca-Cola and the Moral Economy of Rural Development in India

    This paper examines the knowledge-practices used by rural activists to raise public concerns about the use of water and land resources by a Coca-Cola bottling plant in Uttar Pradesh, India, between 2004 and 2014. These knowledge-practices included the use of semiotics and carefully crafted discourses—such as slogans and protest songs—to produce knowledge about villagers’ rights to rural subsistence and survival. An aim of this paper is to show th…

  • Slow infrastructures in times of crisis: Unworking Speed and Convenience

    M Barlow, G Drew•ARTICLE•Postcolonial Studies•2021•Cited by: 6

    The (post)colonial logics of speed and convenience are manifest in many of today’s infrastructural projects, creating what we consider to be ‘fast infrastructures’. These infrastructures create ease for some and harm for others while exacerbating social and environmental crises around the world. Addressing these crises requires, we argue, a slowing down. Enter the role of ‘slow infrastructures’. In this paper, we highlight two forms of slow infra…

    The historical water catchments of India's capital city were foundational to the flourishing of settlements that spanned centuries. Today, those water features are held up as 'wise' models of water stewardship for the people who criticise the Indian government's water management shortcomings. This article investigates historical imaginations of infrastructures past with attention to how their example leads to demands for 'smart(er)' water managem…

  • Co-creating meeting spaces’: Feminist ethnographic fieldwork in Bangladesh

    The effort to work with stigmatized and socially vulnerable women holds particular challenges for feminist researchers attempting to engage in critical and reflexive fieldwork. Primarily drawing from ethnographic research with women experiencing homelessness within a train station in Dhaka, Bangladesh, this paper explores the particular challenges of engaging with women whose lives have been shaped by shame, stigma and violence—and who are unders…
