Abstract Marine ecosystem–scale fisheries research and management must include the fishing effort of women men. Even with growing recognition that do fish, there remains an imperative to engage in more meaningful relevant gender analysis improve socio‐ecological approaches management. The implications a approach have been explored social fisheries, but relevance for ecological understandings has yet be fully elaborated. To examine importance understanding marine ecology, we identified 106...
Resilience building has become a growing policy agenda, particularly for urban risk management. While much of the resilience agenda been shaped by policies and discourses from global North, its applicability cities South, African cities, not sufficiently assessed. Focusing on rights citizens as object to be made resilient, rather than physical ecological infrastructures, may help address many root causes that characterize unacceptable risks residents face daily basis. Linked this idea, we...
We ask what it would mean to take seriously the possibility of multiple water ontologies, and implications this be for governance in theory practice. contribute a growing body literature that is reformulating understanding human–water relations refocusing on fundamental question ‘is’. Interrogating political–ontological ‘problem space’ governance, we explore series ontological disjunctures persist. Rather than seeking characterize any individual ontology, focus limitations silencing diverse...
Mega-damming, pollution and depletion endanger rivers worldwide. Meanwhile, modernist imaginaries of ordering 'unruly waters humans' have become cornerstones hydraulic-bureaucratic capitalist development. They separate hydro/social worlds, sideline river-commons cultures, deepen socio-environmental injustices. But myriad new water justice movements (NWJMs) proliferate: rooted, disruptive, transdisciplinary, multi-scalar coalitions that deploy alternative river-society ontologies, bridge...
Resilience thinking has been roundly critiqued for not accounting the political – and inherently power-laden structures that shape decision-making. In light of range critiques as well increasing global momentum around resilience thinking, this paper develops concept 'Negotiated Resilience'. The highlights processes negotiation to situate, ground operationalise 'resilience'. puts particular accent on procedural orientation it is something 'exists' we can uniformly define, rather a process...
In 2007, for the first time in human history, world’s population became more urban than rural – a trend that is expected to increase coming decades, reaching 66% by 2030. While being ‘po...
Most theorists understand gender geographies as highly differentiated and shifting, in terms of both time space. If is historically geographically contingent then the analysis should be attentive to particular conditions that materialize very idea gender, giving it appearance being fixed natural. The physical landscape, or waterscape case southeastern Turkey, potentially central ways invoked lived settings, with important effects. Using case-study work on irrigation-related changes I...
This article provides a critical reading of some the gendered dimensions emergent water governance regimes, specifically those related to privatization, marketization and devolution resources management. After first providing an overview recent nature–society contributions neoliberalization processes, comparatively evaluates insights with respect gender shifts in governance. I make several arguments at intersection relevant literatures. First, there is need for theorists interested debates...
Abstract: In recent years, significant debate has taken place around the concept of “human right to water”. this paper, we seek respond critiques and clarify terms by presenting an in‐depth exploration human water. We explore several concept, situate it in context current neoliberalization water provision relation contemporary challenges, present some examples how been deployed further cause access for vulnerable populations varied contexts. conclude that, rather than abandoning as critics...
A large and growing body of literature suggests that women men often have differentiated relationships to water access, uses, knowledges, governance, experiences. From a feminist political ecology perspective, these can be mediated by gendered labour practices (within the household, at community level, or within workplace), socio-cultural expectations (e.g. related notions masculinity femininity), as well intersectional differences race, income, so forth). While are complex, multiple, vary...
Small drinking water systems (SDWS) are widely identified as presenting particular challenges for management and governance in industrialised nations because of their small customer base, geographic isolation, limited human financial capacity. Consequently, an increasing number range scholars have examined SDWS over the last 30 years. Much this work has been technocentric nature, focused on technologies operations, with attention to how these managed, governed, situated within broader social...
There is growing acknowledgement that the material dimensions of water security alone are inadequate; we also need to engage with a broader set hydrosocial relationships. Indeed, more holistic approaches needed explain Indigenous peoples’ relationships including use traditional sources such as mountain creeks and springs. In this paper, seek reimagine through case study Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in’s both treated throughout First Nation’s territory in Yukon, Canada. Through community-based research...
For many in the Global North, urban life means that your shit is not problem. We postulate a possible reason for global sanitation failure areas disconnect between expectations—what we term imaginary—and practices required by proposed solutions. The case study presented here based on interviews with residents of Villa Lamadrid, marginalized neighborhood Buenos Aires, Argentina, which faces significant public health impacts from an inadequate sewage management system. solicited feedback...
Abstract Pesticide exposure in Ecuador's banana industry reflects political economic and ecological processes that interact across scales to affect human health. We use this case study illustrate opportunities for applying ecology of health scholarship the burgeoning field global Drawing on an historical literature review ethnographic data collected El Oro province, we present three main areas where a approach can enrich scholarship: perceptive characterization multi‐scalar ecologically...
