Abstract: As part of a critical ‘dialogue’ around the ontological nature of more-than-human well-being in an ecological emergency, I am interested in putting Amanda Yates, Kelly Dombroski, and Rita Dionisio's work into conversation with Matthew Gandy's book Natura Urbana. Whilst they are very different projects in their cultural focus and ambition, they lean into each other as part of a broader imaginary of ecological constellations and urban collectives.

Whither Justice? An Analysis of Local Climate Change Responses from South East Queensland, Australia
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 2014
DOI: 10.1068/C11295
Abstract: Climate change is a highly contested policy issue in Australia, generating fierce debate at every level of governance. In this paper we explore a crucial tension in both the policy and the public debate: a seeming lack of attention to social inclusion and broader equity implications. We pay special attention to the municipal scale, where concerns about social difference and democratic participation are often foregrounded in political discourse, using South East Queensland—a recognised climate change ‘hotspot’—as a case study. Mobilising critical discourse analysis techniques, we interrogate three local government climate change response strategies, and place these in the context of transscalar discourse networks which appear to sustain a technocratic, ‘ecological modernisation’ approach to the issue. Finally, we suggest a broad strategy for reimagining this approach to embed a notion of climate justice in our policy thinking about climate change.

Housing and Socio-Spatial Inclusion
Publisher: Cogitatio
Date: 09-04-2015
DOI: 10.17645/SI.V3I2.264
Abstract: This special issue on housing and socio-spatial inclusion had its genesis in the 5th Housing Theory Symposium (HTS) on the theme of housing and space, held in Brisbane, Australia in 2013. In late 2013 we put out a call for papers in an attempt to collect an initial suite of theoretical and empirical scholarship on this theme. This collection of articles progresses our initial discussions about the theoretical implications of adding the “social” to the conceptual project of thinking through housing and space. We hope that this special issue will act as a springboard for a critical review of housing theory, which could locate housing at the centre of a much broader network of social and cultural practices across different temporal trajectories and spatial scales. This editorial presents an overview of the theoretical discussions at the HTS and summarises the six articles in this themed issue, which are: (1) The meaning of home in home birth experiences (2) Reconceptualizing the “publicness” of public housing (3) The provision of visitable housing in Australia (4) The self-production of dwellings made by the Brazilian new middle class (5) Innovative housing models and the struggle against social exclusion in cities and (6) A theoretical and an empirical analysis of “poverty suburbanization”.
Make kin, not cities! Multispecies entanglements and ‘becoming-world’ in planning theory
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 03-02-2018
Abstract: Much planning theory has been undergirded by an ontological exceptionalism of humans. Yet, city planning does not sit outside of the eco-social realities co-producing the Anthropocene. Urban planners and scholars, therefore, need to think carefully and critically about who speaks for (and with) the nonhuman in place making. In this article, we identify two fruitful directions for planning theory to better engage with the imbricated nature of humans and nonhumans is recognised as characteristic of the Anthropocene – multispecies entanglements and becoming-world. Drawing on the more-than-human literature in urban and cultural geography and the environmental humanities, we consider how these terms offer new possibilities for productively rethinking the ontological exceptionalism of humans in planning theory. We critically explore how planning theory might develop inclusive, ethical relationships that can nurture possibilities for multispecies flourishing in erse urban futures, the futures that are increasingly recognised as co-produced by nonhuman agents in the context of climate variability and change. This, we argue, is critical for developing climate-adaptive planning tools and narratives for the creation of socially and environmentally just multispecies cities.

Climate cosmopolitics and the possibilities for urban planning
Publisher: Berghahn Books
Date: 09-2016
Abstract: Cosmopolitical action in a climate-changed city represents different knowledges and practices that may seem disconnected but constellate to frame stories and spaces of a climate-just city. The question this article asks is: how might we as planners identify and develop counter-hegemonic praxes that enable us to re-imagine our experience of, and responses to, climate change? To explore this question, we draw on Isabelle Stengers’s (2010) idea of cosmopolitics—where erse stories, perspectives, experiences, and practices can connect to create the foundation for new strategic possibilities. Our article is empirically informed by conversations with actors from three Australian cities (Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth) who are mobilizing different approaches to this ideal in various grassroots actions on climate change.
