Whose city? Reflections on urban agroecology as multispecies commons
This chapter frames public urban agroecology initiatives as multispecies commons to explore how urban governance can meaningfully include non-human interests. Drawing on two food-forest projects—the Isla Vista Food Forest (USA) and the Picasso Food Forest (Italy)—the...
What functions for city networks in local climate governance? Conceptualizing cross-site interactions as learning, moulding, and steering
Drawing on insights from the literature on urban climate governance to scrutinise the interactions and roles taken in and by city networks, this paper reviews how their functions in local climate governance have been conceptualised and analyse how these are...
A framework to centre justice in energy transition innovations
We propose a conceptual framework to center justice in energy transition innovations (ETI) and examine how three tenets of justice (recognition, procedural, and distributional justice) influence each level of ETI, including niche, regime, and landscape levels. We...
Climate Change-Conscious Methodologies: Ethical Research in a Changing World
As communities and ecosystems experience more frequent and intense climate impacts, researchers across diverse fields must grapple with the question - how do we ethically conduct research in climate-affected places? In this paper, we introduce a framework for climate...
Beyond left-right cleavages: making sense of refugees within the fields of struggle
My article shows how geopolitical dynamics and global inequalities shape nativist views in Turkey. By juxtaposing refugee-related views of two competing political parties (i.e., AKP and CHP), I demonstrate that Turkey’s position in the unequal global order has a...
Community energy justice: A review of origins, convergence, and a research agenda
This paper explores the concept of “community” and its potential as a viable tool for fostering justice and equity in energy transitions; also outlining “community energy justice” as scholarship emerging through convergence around: community, energy transition, and...
Unacknowledged health costs of subway transportation: Commuting time dominant environmental inequality in PM2.5 exposure
This paper evaluates the health and economic impacts of air pollution exposure during subway commuting and reveals unequal effects across population subgroups. It finds that subway travel increases overall daily exposure by displacing time spent in cleaner...
