Collaborative sensemaking through photos: Using photovoice to study gas pipeline development in Appalachia

- Photovoice is an increasingly popular research method across disciplines due to its flexibility and capacity for generating rich data. This article argues that while its practical virtues are abundant, the theoretical contributions of photovoice to qualitative research are just as important. We argue that photographs can act as boundary objects that enable collective sensemaking at multiple stages of a research study. This is fulfilled through a case study of gas extraction and distribution networks and their social consequences in West Virginia, a state in the United States deeply entrenched geographically and culturally in natural resource extraction. Ultimately, this case study demonstrates that photovoice as a process and photographs as artifacts are sites for rich collaborative interpretation and provides a model of how to operationalize photos in multiple stages of research so that study designs are centered around participant experiences.

A reflexive analysis on field knowledge production and academic labor during PhD studies
- 2015
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The multitasking nature of academic labor has become an increasingly essential part of PhD studies. Teaching, competition for funding, international networking and publishing in high impact journals are expected and encouraged. This situation becomes even more complex when a doctoral candidate needs to perform fieldwork, as it is common in geography. In this paper, the gendered nature of fieldwork is analyzed through the autobiographical accounts of two young female doctoral students in human geography carrying out field research in the global south. As opposed to the positivistic ideal of scientific objectivity, the results show that embodiment and wellbeing play a pivotal role in influencing the course of fieldwork. Hence, we examine the everyday dimensions of field research both during pre-fieldwork planning and post-fieldwork. Lastly, we discuss current neoliberal prerequisites to secure an academic career and what they imply for researchers' lives.

Beyond environmental harm : Industry claims, lived experiences, and the impacts of gas extraction

Ingår i: Energy Research and Social Science. - 2214-6296. ; 115

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The peer-reviewed literature presents overwhelming evidence that fossil fuel based energy infrastructure projects are responsible for lower residential property values, environmental destruction and pollution that decrease residents' quality of life. These projects also challenge local people's sense of identity and even the threat of such a project can make residents question their sense of place. As evidence, we first present a bibliographic analysis of the environmental impact statements for the Mountain Valley Pipeline in West Virginia and the Jordan Cove Energy Project in Oregon. We find that their approval processes relies on non-peer-reviewed, industry-funded claims that pipelines will bring economic benefit and will have no effect on property values. Second, through original interview data gathered between 2019 and 2021 in West Virginia and in 2021 in Oregon, we engage with the concepts of sense of identity and sense of place to demonstrate that regardless of the local context, fossil fuel based energy infrastructure projects cause more than environmental damage; they trigger emotional reactions in residents that see or fear seeing their everyday lives upended. Taken together, this Perspective contributes to the emerging field of emotional energy geography to show how the plans and implementation of oil and gas pipelines become crucial turning points in residents' lives.

Casa Rut : A Multilevel Analysis of a “Good Practice” in the Social Assistance of Sexually Trafficked Nigerian Women
- 2015

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article depicts the case study of Casa Rut (“Ruth Home”), a shelter for victims of sexual trafficking, who are predominantly Nigerian women. Since 1995, through the implementation of article 18 of the consolidated act on immigration, Casa Rut has offered a program of social assistance and rehabilitation to 340 women, 120 of whom were Nigerian and 41 of whom were pregnant. Data gathered during a two-month internship between 2008 and 2009 are examined in light of the context of the Nigerian sexual trafficking operation and its collusion with the local criminal organization Camorra in the surroundings of the southern Italian city of Caserta.Casa Rut’s interventions are analyzed according to a multilevel perspective and the nature of victims’ case management in order to assess whether this NGO can be considered to represent “good practice” in the fight against sexual trafficking. Hence, the work of the social cooperative NewHope—a tailoring cooperative founded in 2004 by Casa Rut that provides vocational training to formerly trafficked women—is considered in relation to the long-term employment needs of sexual trafficking victims.Human and sexual trafficking has not been extensively investigated within social work, even though practitioners are best positioned to address this issue. This work therefore aims to facilitate social service providers in their everyday activities by presenting multilevel evidence of “good practice” in the fight against the modern day slave trade.

Conflating Privilege and Vulnerability : A Reflexive Analysis of Emotions and Positionality in Postgraduate Fieldwork

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Grounded in a self-reflexive, intersectional analysis of positionality, we examine emotions in fieldwork through theautobiographical accounts that we gathered during our postgraduate ethnographic research in the Global South. We showhow we, two female early-career geographers, emotionally coped with instances that put us in a vulnerable position due toloneliness, commitment to the field, insistent questioning, violence, and violent threats. We argue that a culture of silencesurrounding fieldwork difficulties and their emotional consequences tend to permeate our discipline. We contend thatgeography departments ought to provide mentorship that takes into account doctoral candidates’ different positionalities,conflated vulnerability and privilege, and embodied intersectional axes. This renewed awareness will help not only to revealpossible risks and challenges connected with fieldwork but also ultimately to enrich the overall academic discussions withinour discipline.

“Credit plus” microcredit schemes : a key to women's adaptive capacity

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper presents the provision of “credit plus” training activities, conditionally and jointly with microloans by Equity Bank and by Swedish non-governmental organization Vi-Skogen in the area of Kisumu, Kenya to women's groups as a key to improving women's capacity to adapt to climate change. Groups received training in small business administration and agroforestry, which produced positive outcomes or a virtuous spiral in their families' economy, well-being and in their intra-household bargaining power. In agroforestry and new farming practices, group training enhanced the women's set of planned adaptation strategies. In a context where formal financial institutions are still reluctant to provide credit to subsistence farmers, this case study shows the beneficial effects that credit would generate for women's adaptive capacity.

Decolonising pedagogy in practice : cuerpo-territorio to consolidate students´ learning
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Journal of Geography in Higher Education. - 0309-8265.
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Cuerpo-territorio is a method stemming from Latin American geography, which recognizes the centrality of situated and embodied experiences as a form of knowing. We engaged with this method in the classroom to understand how students through their embodied and situated experiences had absorbed a post-development geographic course content and how these notions had remained with them. Given that emotions, particularly when elicited by images play a major role in consolidating knowledge, we asked students to explore their embodied feelings related to the course content by reflecting and representing them in a visual form on a poster. Through this paper, we aim to contribute to the debate on the importance of applying decolonial strategies in the classroom by widening the methodological toolbox of our geography colleagues. We find that, given the diversity of the students’ population, working with a boundary object such as the posters helped students to relate to each other via the course content. Finally, reflecting and assimilating the course content through cuerpo -territorio, we argue, was conducive to consolidating learning outcomes, while students experienced knowledge co-creation with their peers.
