“…Put simply, the concept of intersectionality describes how different forms of discrimination (gender identity, race, age, sexual orientation, etc.) and different impacts 'intersect' dynamically with each other (Bainton and McDougall 2021). Like Crenshaw (1991), we do not see intersectionality as a grand social theory, but as a prism for looking at complexity in the world.…”

This paper introduces the special issue on gender in impact assessment and management. We discuss the absence of gender-responsive approaches in conventional impact assessment practice and management, and associated implications for meaningfully addressing gender relations and the rights of women and LGBTQI+ people. We also introduce the special issue, which sheds light on gaps in impact assessment but also demonstrates that practical approaches exist to further embed gender-responsive approaches. Collectively, a central argument emanating from the contributions is that gender-neutral approaches to impact assessment and management can perpetuate or even create new forms of gender discrimination. This runs counter to the expectations set by international human rights law and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which rest on the central principles of nondiscrimination, substantive gender equality, and 'leaving no one behind'. Four themes for more gender-responsive impact assessment and management are highlighted: (1) genderresponsive context analysis; (2) gender-responsive engagement and increased participation of women and LGBTQI+ people; (3) adaptation of tools, methods, and skills for enhanced gender responsiveness; and (4) embedding gender-responsive approaches from the project level to the governance sphere. Without presuming transferability across contexts, the contributions show that such strategies are necessary and possible in diverse global settings.

“…In PNG, which has many mining ventures as well as oil and gas fields, anthropologists and allied social scientists have been prominent as consultants (Banks 1999;Filer 1999a;Burton 2000;Macintyre 2003;Bainton 2009), as ethnographers of the effects of large-scale projects on local communities (Hyndman 1994a;Jorgensen 1997;Zimmer-Tamakoshi 1997;Kirsch 2006;Bainton 2010;Jacka 2015a) and as a source of reflexive insight into the nature of such encounters (Gerritsen and Macintyre 1991;Filer 1999b;Ballard and Banks 2003;Rumsey and Weiner 2004;Filer and Macintyre 2006;Golub 2007aGolub , 2014Weiner 2007;Bainton and Macintyre 2013;Gilberthorpe 2013b;Jacka 2018;Bainton 2021). The body of work produced by anthropologists of mining has reflected on environmental impacts, the resistance and transformation of social practices in place prior to projects, the reconfiguration of imagined futures and the lives of workers involved in a local Melanesian setting, whether as labourers (Imbun 2000(Imbun , 2006Filer 2021) or executives (Golub and Rhee 2013).…”

Anthropological Knowledge Production in Oceania

In Oceania, as elsewhere, power relations in knowledge production have been highly debated for many decades. Oceanian anthropologists have developed challenging proposals to decolonise anthropology and academia in Oceania at large. Nevertheless, insights from this region do not figure prominently in recent theoretical discussions about coloniality and decolonisation “about the subaltern” (Grosfoguel 2007, 211). By focusing on the long-lasting Oceanian discourse in a Swiss peer-reviewed journal, this article aims to contribute to the decolonisation of Swiss academia by proposing an anthropology “with and from a subaltern perspective” (Grosfoguel 2007, 211). Drawing on recent online research, and experiences with teaching the anthropology of Oceania, this article familiarises a European readership with Indigenous anthropologists from Oceania, and their struggles with our discipline. It looks at Indigenous scholars’ reflections about and propositions for different ways of knowledge production and Indigenous research methods. The article concludes with suggestions to further the decolonisation process within (Swiss) academia.
