Slow Death and Key Workers
This article focuses on the experiences of waste workers in Glasgow at the height of the COVID‐19 pandemic, to explore how the ordinary workings of the UK waste industry are pushing bodies and infrastructures to the point of collapse. Drawing on in‐depth interviews with waste workers, and in conversation with Lauren Berlant's concepts of ‘slow death’ and the ‘crisis ordinary’, this article makes two key contributions. First, it reveals that waste…
Environmental Health Geographies
Environments and health are not what they were. They are marked by novel social, chemical, and biological configurations that are geographically extensive and uneven in terms of their effects. Materially transformed bodies, tissues, and environments generate novel interfaces, intra-actions, and new forms of absorption or body–environment relations. As a result, in recent years, health and environment have become subject to renewed attention. Star…
After Antibiotics - Events, Episodes and the Veterinization of UK Livestock
As antimicrobial use is more tightly regulated, animal medicine is under pressure. Drawing on UK fieldwork with veterinarians, farmers, and animal health providers, this article examines how animal health practices are being reorganized. It argues that antimicrobial reductions have not driven the systemic changes some predict. Instead, the antibiotic era's legacy persists, shaping preventive efforts and reinforcing data-driven control. As veterin…
The work of waste during Covid-19
Waste has become a pivotal public health and environmental problem during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this interdisciplinary review, we move beyond the ‘coronalitter’ and ‘coronawaste’ discourses, which have come to dominate public imaginaries of waste, to consider less-visible dimensions of waste infrastructures and systems . We demonstrate how waste is coming to matter in new ways that offer opportunities for reconfiguring health research. By exa…
Postcolonial Global Health, Post-Colony Microbes and Antimicrobial Resistance
Rather than 'superbugs' signifying recalcitrant forms of life that withstand biomedical treatment, drug resistant infections emerge within and are intricate with the exercise of social and medical power. The distinction is important, as it provides a means to understand and critique current methods employed to confront the threat of widespread antimicrobial resistance. A global health regime that seeks to extend social and medical power, through …
Production without medicalisation
Improved biosecurity and livestock disease control measures in low resource settings are often regarded as beneficial for agricultural productivity, rural incomes, global health, and sustainability. In this paper we present data from a study of shrimp and prawn aquaculture in Bangladesh to argue that this relationship is not as straightforward as it would seem. Analysing quantitative and qualitative data from a multi-method field study involving …
A very public cull – The anatomy of an online issue public
Geographers and other social scientists have for some time been interested in how scientific and environmental controversies emerge and become public or collective issues. Social media are now key platforms through which these issues are publically raised and through which groups or publics can organise themselves. As media that generate data and traces of networking activity, these platforms also provide an opportunity for scholars to study the …
Killing squirrels
Wildlife management, pest control and conservation projects often involve killing nonhuman animals. In the United Kingdom, introduced grey squirrels Sciurus carolinensis are killed in large numbers to protect remnant populations of European red squirrels Sciurus vulgaris. Grey squirrels are also killed outside of red squirrel areas to protect broadleaved trees from squirrel damage, and as part of routine pest control, opportunistically, and somet…
Technology
For some, technology is a byword for progress or hope. For others it signals possible dehumanization and environmental degradation. Geography's value is that it tends to avoid technological determinism, refusing to read technology as necessarily progressive or regressive, and focuses instead on the spatiotemporal situations within which technologies can be understood and evaluated.
Biosecurity
Biosecurity, or making life safe, can be understood by attending to four of its constitutive elements: security, liberalism, a pathogen‐based and an anticipatory approach to danger. These elements, and the spatial tensions that they give rise to, make biosecurity a difficult and sometimes contested exercise in both the control and the nurturing of life processes.
Living Cities
In particular, through the notion of &s;living cities&s; the author wants to articulate some significant challenges to the styles and practices of analysis institutionalized in scientific and policy procedures which characteristically presume and reinforce spatial divisions between civic and wild, town and country, human and nonhuman. The notion of living cities fleshes out a sense of ecological co-fabrication in which the life patterns and rhyth…
Indeterminacy in-decisions – science, policy and politics in the BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) crisis
This chapter aims to use an empirical engagement with Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy-related scientific and policy practices, along with insights from non-human geographies, science studies and poststructuralism to suggest that old certainties and resolutions are misplaced. It demonstrates that the failure to take up the lessons from non human geographies has had and continues to have serious consequences. The chapter also demonstrates that the…
Nonhuman citizens on trial
Wildlife reintroductions can unsettle social and ecological norms, and are often controversial. In this paper, we examine the recent (re)introduction of Eurasian beavers to England, to analyse responses to an unauthorised release of a formerly resident species. Although the statutory response to the introduction was to attempt to reassert ecological and political order by recapturing the beavers, this action was strongly opposed by a diverse coll…

A Subtle but Intractable Problem? Public Attitudes to Sectarianism in 2014
Discussion of sectarianism often focuses on evidence purporting to show discriminatory behaviour directed at Catholics or Protestants in Scotland. But attitudes also matter – in sustaining (or preventing) such discriminatory behaviours, and in understanding the nature of the ‘problem of sectarianism’ from the perspective of the Scottish public. This paper uses data from the Scottish Social Attitudes survey 2014. The survey fills a gap in the evid…

Engaging Cooperative Research
Cooperative research involves upstream engagement of practitioners, introducing diverse knowledges and expertise in ways that can, in theory at least, generate new knowledge that is socially robust and publicly accountable. And yet, judging cooperative research solely in terms of accountability may underplay the transformative and nonaccountable/nonconvergent nature of research-the production, in other words, of the new when collectives are drawn…
‘Inhabiting’ - Landscapes and Natures
About the book: The Handbook of Cultural Geography presents a state of the art assessment of the key questions informing cultural geography. Emphasizing the intellectual diversity of the discipline, the Handbook presents a comprehensive statement of the relationship between the cultural imagination and the geographical imagination while also looking at resonances between cultural geography and other disciplines. The work is cross-referenced throu…
Differentiated Circuits
The question of how to make life secure in a world of zoonotic disease threats is often answered in terms of an ever-tighter regulation of wild, domestic, and human life, as a means to control disease. Conversely, in both theoretical and practical engagements with the business of making life safe, there is recognition of the circulatory and excessive qualities of life, its ability to overflow grids of intelligibility, and a requirement for knowle…
Biosecurity and the topologies of infected life
Biosecurity, as a response to threats from zoonotic, food‐borne and emerging infectious diseases, implies and is often understood in terms of a spatial segregation of forms of life, a struggle to separate healthy life from diseased bodies. While an ensuing will to closure in the name of biosecurity is evident at various sites, things are, in practice and in theory, more intricate than this model would suggest. There are transactions and transform…

Urban Wild Things
Cities are inhabited by all manner of things and made up of all manner of practices, many of which are unnoticed by urban politics and disregarded by science. In this paper we do two things. First, we add to the sense that urban living spaces involve much more than human worlds and are often prime sites for human and nonhuman ecologies. Second, we experiment with what is involved in taking these nonhuman worlds and ecologies seriously and in prod…

Securing Life
In this paper we review recent social science work on the issue of biosecurity and suggest ways in which geographers and social scientists can approach and intervene in current biosecurity practices. Our argument is that it is both useful and necessary to locate and intervene at sites where the ordering of biomatters is open to doubt and/or contestation. We pitch discourses of biological immanence and emergence against forms of social science thi…

Indeterminacy in‐decisions – science, policy and politics in the BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) crisis
Increasingly, non‐human geographies have unfastened nature from its foundational moorings. In a parallel development, the benefits of adhering to precautionary and participatory forms of decision‐making have become common place in environmental geography and in government policy. And yet, on closer inspection, there is a danger in these latter approaches that old certainties regarding non‐human natures remain unquestioned. The result can be a ten…

Technology, Power, and Space-The Means and Ends of Geographies of Technology
This paper is about the means and ends of geographical inquiries into technology and technoscience. In working through a body of literature commonly grouped together under the collective phrase 'science, technology, and society', and in seeking to work upon empirical research on electricity networks, the author draws attention to the ontological and representational issues that are confronted when thinking through geographies of technology and ge…

Biosecurity
Biosecurity might be crudely defined as making life safe. As this collection of papers \nwill show, who does this work, on behalf of what or for whom, and with what kind of \nresources and results, vary widely. Some biosecurity practices are seemingly mundane \nbut with broad consequences (like the use of disinfectants at farm gates to halt the \nmovement of foot and mouth viruses). Some practices take us to a world of high- \ntechnology surveill…

Performance and Experimental Knowledge
In this paper I am concerned with experimental learning and knowing. By experimental I refer to a broad set of performances that have the potential to bring about something new. In this view, experiments are not, even in their more restricted sense in scientific laboratories, limited to the corroboration or representation of an idea or thought. Experiments are on going. They are considered in this paper to be thought-in-action. This concern with …

Ecologies and Economies of Action-Sustainability, Calculations, and other Things
In ecological, environmental, and urban-regeneration terms, the participatory turn and the turn to action have been written about at length in both academic and official literatures. From neighbourhood renewal to lay ecologies, people are being 'given' all kinds of agency in the making of economy and ecology. Yet relatively little has been said regarding the financial organisation of this new populism, which is often achieved through calculation …

Software for Qualitative Research
In this paper we reject accounts which portray computer aided qualitative data analysis software (CAQDAS) as neutral and benign. We argue that applying computer software to qualitative projects raises a number of important issues that go to the heart of ethnography. Although we initially work with a distinction between tactile and digital ethnographics, the issues that we raise are not unique to computer-aided analyses. Indeed, we argue that the …
Software for Qualitative Research
In recent years there has been growing interest in the use of computers within qualitative geography. In this paper we review the types of software packages that have been adopted and outline some of their distinctive features. We discuss the intellectual and institutional reasons for the interest in the software and highlight the ways in which such reasons have shaped the use made of these packages. We argue that only a contextual account of how…

Is human society so all-pervading that it makes sense to talk about the end of nature? Or are we living in a world where nature matters more than ever before? Geographies of Nature provides a reasoned and case study rich engagement with contemporary nature practices, introducing readers to conventional understandings of nature while examining alternative accounts from different disciplines - where nature resists easy classification. \nAccessibly …
