How do technologies animate more-than-human geographies after extinction? How can geographical scholarship evoke, or bring presence to, extinct biota? In an epoch simultaneously characterized by biotic loss at an unthinkable scale and the increased p...

Digitisation produces unique understandings of, and modes of access to, nonhuman worlds, and fundamentally reshapes conservation, environmentalism, and ecological politics. In this chapter, we explore the fruitful confluence of disciplinary trends in... Read More about Digital geographies and ecologies.

Digital ecologies: Materialities, encounters, governance (2022)
Journal Article

Digital technologies increasingly mediate relations between humans and nonhumans in a range of contexts including environmental governance, surveillance, and entertainment. Combining approaches from more-than-human and digital geographies, we proffer... Read More about Digital ecologies: Materialities, encounters, governance.

Anthropause environmentalisms: Noticing natures with the Self‐Isolating Bird Club (2022)
Journal Article
