    Inequity in resource management in Palestine

    This episode was recorded before the events of October 2023.  In this episode, we speak to Palestinian geographer and PhD holder, Muna Dajani. Dajani's research focuses on documenting water struggles in agricultural communities under settler colonialism, as well as working on issues of environmental justice and green energy colonialism. Our discussion explores some of her research interests, focusing on the role of urban resource management, and how power asymmetries and discriminatory practises manifest in resource management planning. Additionally, we discuss the challenges of conducting research under these practices, touching on the decolonisation of knowledge production, as well as Dajani's efforts to document the collective memory of local land and agricultural practices in the fight against climate change.

    Precarious geographies and property guardianship in the UK

    In this episode we speak to Mara Ferreri, Assistant Professor in Economic and Political Geography at Polytechnic of Turin. Her research focuses on housing precarity, temporary and platform urbanism, and struggles for housing commoning. In her recently published book, The Permanence of Temporary Urbanism: Normalizing Precarity in Austerity London, she draws on seven years of semi-ethnographic research to highlight the material and cultural dynamics of temporary urbanism in the context of capitalism, particularly the gentrification processes that are currently occurring in the city. Here, Mara provides an in-depth account of the complex phenomenon of property guardianship in the UK and helps draw out potential learnings for the way forward for progressing planning in this context.
