We’re going to tear up the Caldera so we can have an electric car: Wrestling with prospective lithium mining in the Oregon desert
Lithium mining is key for decarbonization, but impacts ecosystems and communities. • Study participants wrestled with costs and uncertainties around lithium mining. • Participants worried about climate change, but also about local ecological damage. • Participants recognized the nuance and complexity associated with proposed mining. • Lithium mining evokes conflicting and competing socio-ecological imaginaries. Extraction of lithium, a key ingred…
Unlikely Alliances in Action: Balancing Alignment and Autonomy in Rural-Urban Water Conflicts
Environmentalists, ranchers, and Indigenous nations are increasingly coming together on environmental issues in what have been called "unlikely alliances," offering important insights into the role of collaboration and collective action in environmental governance. We examine two cases of unlikely alliances that formed in response to large rural-to-urban water transfer projects in the western United States, drawing on narrative analysis of interv…
Space, Time, and Hydrosocial Imaginaries: Water Quality Governance of the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe
We examine ways in which space and time, as well as governance, are embedded in and revealed by hydrosocial imaginaries. As conceptions of space and time are fundamental to the establishment of sociocultural-political relationships, they are central to water governance in providing a framework on which overall hydrosocial relations are constructed. We also recognize the ways in which Tribes continually redraw trajectories of power through engagin…

Unlikely alliances and their implications for resource management in the American West
Collaborative, or participatory governance is an increasingly common means of addressing natural resource issues, especially in the American West where patchworks of public, private, and tribal interests characterize the region’s resources. In this context, unlikely alliances, or partnerships among diverse actors who have historically been at odds, have a growing potential to shape social and ecological outcomes, for better or worse. While these …

The Making of White Water Citizens in Australia and the Western United States: Racialization as a Transnational Project of Irrigation Governance
This article examines the role of settler irrigation systems and water governance in establishing and reinforcing tenacious imperial geographies of whiteness. Through an analysis of the lives and work of two powerful men who made foundational contributions to establishing irrigation economies and water governance systems in Australia and the Western United States, we investigate the racialized sociospatial processes that bound whiteness to water.…
Beyond the American culture wars: A call for environmental leadership and strengthening networks
This article focuses on the United States (US), looking at the American culture war specifically as it relates to environmental issues. Looking at the US today is a reminder that the culture wars are as overtly political as they are culturally motivated, and they diminish social cohesion. The term “culture wars” is defined as increases in volatility, expansion of polarization, and obvious conflicts in various parts of the world between, on the on…

Central American integration through infrastructure development: A case study of Costa Rican hydropower
Central American integration through infrastructure development: A case study of Costa Rican hydropower
At the turn of the 21st century, protectionist policies in Latin America were largely abandoned for an agenda that promoted free trade and regional integration. Central America especially experienced an increase in international, interstate, and intraregional economic integration through trade liberalization. In 2004, such integration was on the agenda of every Central American administration, the U.S. Congress, and Mexico. The Plan Puebla-Panama…
Influences on Stakeholder Participation in Water Negotiations: A Case Study from the Klamath Basin
In water governance, where problems are controversial and value laden, different forms of stakeholder involvement have become common and are frequently required. Stakeholder participation is often recognized as fundamental to the legitimacy and success of negotiated environmental decisions, but the intricacies of why stakeholders participate has received less attention. We examine factors that influenced stakeholder participation in the Klamath B…

Actor-Network Theory and Traditional Cultural Properties: Exploring Irrigation as a Hybrid Network in 19TH Century Hawai'i
During the late 19 th century, customary Hawaiian systems of mutual sharing and obligations between chiefs and commoners were reconstructed into questions of property ownership and rights. Water was integral to this situation. Hawaiian spiritual worldviews concerning water and a political economy that supported traditional irrigation practices were undermined as immigrants imported their own approaches to agriculture and water governance. This pa…

Voting on Floodplain Conservation: The Role of Public Values and Interactions along the Carson River, Nevada
Floodplain conservation initiatives frequently require public support and financing, yet little is known about public values and interactions with the rivers and their floodplains as they relate to voters' support. Using comparative analyses and logistic regression of data from a mail/Internet survey of registered voters along the Carson River, Nevada, we studied relationships between reported voting behavior and demographics, attitudes toward th…

Where has the water come from: Editorial “water history”
past water management and social relations to water use have become increasingly relevant to our understanding of future scenarios of water use.

While the recent publication of some of these articles focused on water history suggests that the field is expanding in both size and scope, it also shows that the fiel…

A legacy of forced migration: The removal of the Miami Tribe in 1846
In the first half of the nineteenth century, dozens of Indian tribes and tens of thousands of tribal members were forced to move and resettle hundreds of miles away from their traditional homes in the eastern and mid‐western US. This process – which has come to be known as tribal or Indian removal – was initiated as white settlers encroached upon tribal resources, and was facilitated by the political and military actions of state and federal gove…
Recent Geographical Research on Indians and Inuit in the United States and Canada
The indigenous cultures and communities of North America are studied in many academic disciplines, geography among them. The number of geographers who work in this area is small compared to the figures that emerge from such departments as anthropology, history, or literature, mainly because geography itself is a small discipline.1 A surprisingly wide range of topics, methods, Robert Rundstrom is associate professor in the Department of Geography …
