“…Burdick underlines how plants have agency within these engagements, as sentient beings that possess unique powers to shape and influence a place. We see important connections in this work to a growing body of scholarship on human–plant relations and plant powers and agencies (Head & Atchison, 2009; Lawrence, 2022; Myers, 2017; Sanders, 2019; Sandilands, 2021).…”

This paper considers the more‐than‐human implications of environmental gentrification in cities. Through a synthesis of existing environmental gentrification literature, we highlight gentrification scholarship that has emphasised natural ecologies, animals, or other non‐human actors in its processes. We propose the concept of (un)commons as a conceptual basis that offers generative pathways forward for centring a more‐than‐human politics in environmental gentrification scholarship as well as ways to interpret the everyday impacts of environmental gentrification on more‐than‐human beings and spaces in cities.

“…Debates over sentience remain central to ethical debates. For Lawrence (2021), sentience often betrays a zoonotic exceptionalism that prioritises animal pain at the expense of scientific knowledge of plant lives (cf. Srinivasan 2022; Chao 2022).…”

Geography and ethics II: Justification and the ethics of anti-oppression

This report on geography and ethics focusses on the justification of normative evaluations. Justifying why actions are right or wrong often relies on appeals to high-order principles, such as the common good. But this is not always the case, as this report shows by identifying an ethics of anti-oppression that relies instead on struggles against individual and social harms and the conditions that generate them. Through resistance, ethics of anti-oppression also shift the terms of normative justification across a range of considerations within geography and beyond it, from refugees and asylum seekers to food production and blockades against extractive infrastructure.

“…The work of agenda‐setting has become essential to today's marketised academic landscape (Nokkala & Bacevic, 2014), with those who set agendas producing knowledge frames and legitimising the goals of a field, aligning with metrics used to assess academics and research (Nokkala & Bacevic, 2014). 8 Research agenda‐setting can aim to encapsulate a field and, when written generously, can guide readers to a rich plethora of work (e.g., Lawrence, 2022; Liboiron, 2021b). 9 However, despite the possibility for agenda‐setting to be generous, it also relies on curation and omission, and oftentimes these omissions produce erasures of lesser known or non‐academic research, usually work by junior scholars or those in less prestigious positions.…”

A decade ago, veganism was a fringe radical movement. It was also largely absent from the geographical discipline, despite a rich history of vegan scholarship being present in disciplines such as Sociology and Psychology. However, veganism has recently seen a surge in popularity, with more people than ever before becoming vegan for a mixture of animal welfare, environmental, and health‐based reasons. With this mainstreaming, veganism has become contentious and fiercely defended. As veganism has become a growing social and political force, geographers have started to take notice of this previously fringe movement, which is gaining economic, ecological, and cultural power as investment flows into ‘plant‐based’ products and new markets are emerging. In this commentary, we look at how veganism has recently been taken up in Geography via several distinct trends that all stake a claim in defining an emerging geographical sub‐discipline, vegan geographies. We note the importance of scholarly pluralism and attention to establishing geographical sub‐disciplines more broadly.
