Transformative Pathways for Strengthening Climate‐Resilient Health Systems Among Indigenous Communities: Advancing Equity and Sustainability in Global Health
Most climate‐resilience health interventions are designed at the global level, with minimal attention to Indigenous communities' needs. The lack of consideration can lead to unintended harm and exacerbate health risks. This study aims to identify the capacities of Indigenous communities that can serve as transformative pathways in safely adopting global climate‐resilient health approaches within Indigenous contexts, ensuring the aims of the Susta…
A conceptual framework to improve climate-resilient health among Indigenous communities
Shared space and resource use within a building environment: An indoor geography
Indoor spaces are essential to most humans' lives. Furthermore, in many cases, buildings are shared indoor environments that contain diverse people and resources. Spatial patterns of use are important but under-examined aspects of human-building interactions. This study leverages perspectives from human-environment geography and mechanical engineering to examine spatial patterns of use within a network of shared indoor spaces in an academic build…

Mobile phones and wrong numbers: How Maasai agro-pastoralists form and use accidental social ties in East Africa
Baird, T. D., J. T. McCabe, E. Woodhouse, I. Rumas, S. Sankeni, and G. O. Saitoti. 2021. Mobile phones and wrong numbers: how Maasai agro-pastoralists form and use accidental social ties in East Africa. Ecology and Society 26(2):41. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-12528-260241
Mobile phones and women's empowerment in Maasai communities: How men shape women's social relations and access to phones
Mobile phones have been heralded by many as promising new tools to empower women throughout the Global South. However, some have asserted that new information and communication technologies (ICTs) may serve to amplify disparities between more powerful and less powerful people. Few studies have examined which women stand to benefit and under what conditions. This study seeks to better understand the relationships between mobile phones and women’s …
New landscapes of conflict: Land-use competition at the urban–rural fringe
Land-use conflict research generally focuses on conflicts where pre-existing opponents respond to the introduction of a new unwanted land-use. We select a 2008 land-use conflict to explore an understudied scenario: urban–rural fringe (URF) expansion can introduce new opposing stakeholders into areas with pre-existing unwanted land-uses. We use spatial analysis methods to measure the rate and direction of URF expansion in relation to a vacated cem…

Livelihood diversification, mobile phones and information diversity in Northern Tanzania
A disturbance innovation hypothesis: Perspectives From Human and Physical Geography
As attention to resilience grows, debates in geography have focused on the relationship between resilience and vulnerability. This discussion raises further questions that geographers may be well positioned to address: what can be done in contexts where vulnerability is desirable, or where resilience is undesirable and where innovation may be called for? Many undesirable systems are resilient, yet strategies to break resilience down and promote i…
Conservation implications of the diffusion of Christian religious ideals in rural Africa
Trust ecology and the resilience of natural resource management institutions
The resilience of natural resource management (NRM) institutions are largely contingent on the capacities of the people and organizations within those institutions to learn, innovate, and adapt, both individually and collectively. These capacities may be powerfully constrained or catalyzed by the nature of the relationships between the various entities involved. Trust, in particular, has been identified repeatedly as a key component of institutio…
