The discussion situates environmental imaginaries of the “harmful weed” at the intersection of settler colonialism, visual arts, and the environmental humanities, showing how “weedy” metaphors sustain practices of settler colonial expansion and elimination. Specifically, the article considers the links between the eradication of weeds and the eradication of populations in the Israeli state’s pursuit of territorial control. By centring the work of contemporary visual artists, this paper sheds light on the role of Palestinian art in disrupting settler colonial environmental imaginaries. The article offers an alternative reading to the Zionist environmental imaginaries of healing the land infected by weeds through the analysis of three artworks representing three “harmful seeds”: namely the Carthamus tenuis, the Tordylium peregrinum, and the Melilotus indicus. These creative interventions trace a continuum ranging from affirmative notions of survival as “rebirth” to more introspective engagements that emphasise survival as “defence” and “withdrawal”. The discussion is based on the author’s analysis of the artworks in the exhibition and interviews with some of the participating artists. This is combined with secondary sources, including the exhibition catalogue and archival material.","PeriodicalId":47233,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Research","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1745-5871.70050","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147320922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research reveals a significant decline in geography enrolment nationally, with the proportion of Year 12 students studying geography falling from 8.1% (1998–2017) to 6.2% (2012–2023). Substantial variations exist across jurisdictions, with Western Australia maintaining the highest participation rates and the Australian Capital Territory the lowest. The study also explores demographic characteristics, finding that independent schools have higher participation rates, and gender balance varies by state. The decline in geography enrolment is contextualised within broader educational trends and compared with selected international patterns. The paper concludes by discussing the implications of these trends for the future of geography education in Australia, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to address the subject’s declining popularity and ensure its continued relevance in the curriculum.","PeriodicalId":47233,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Research","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1745-5871.70064","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147320877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on data over three census periods, we use both pairwise and network analysis measures to identify “supercommunities” composed of multiple migrant groups for the 35 most numerically significant groups by country of birth (34 migrant groups, plus Australia), in Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney. Pairwise analysis reveals both positive and negative spatial relationships driven in part by cultural affinity, while community analysis demonstrates observable spatial regularities between cities demonstrating the presence of supercommunities, which we define as communities of migrant groups from multiple countries whose settlement patterns are bound by spatial homophily from one context to another. The analyses suggest that as cities get larger and migration increases, supercommunities grow in significance and spatial segregation increases, at least in the period immediately following large-scale immigration.","PeriodicalId":47233,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Research","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1745-5871.70062","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147315557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Flooding events are understood to disproportionately affect places, communities, and individuals that are already socioeconomically disadvantaged, while various flood mitigation and prevention actions may inadvertently deepen existing injustice by further redistributing flood risk to marginalised groups. The specific dynamics of these processes in China remain poorly understood. This article examines the dynamics of flooding and injustice in Ningbo, a major Chinese coastal city that is among the top 20 cities globally in terms of flood exposure. By identifying who is affected, who is protected, and who may bear more of the risks from adaptation actions, the article reveals the uneven nature of flooding impacts and protection measures in Ningbo and the intersection with social injustice in Chinese cities. We detail how residents’ living locations, socioeconomic attributes, past flood experiences and different adaptation actions shape the dynamics of flood injustice and identify how some residents benefit from flood protection interventions, while others are excluded, thus heightening their vulnerability to flooding. Our analysis speaks to flood (in)justice in coastal cities worldwide by showing how social inequalities shape flood risk.","PeriodicalId":47233,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Research","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1745-5871.70060","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147288389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A key consideration in this context is whether the ideal of collaboration, which is seen as essential for just and effective sustainability governance, lives up to its potential. Paying attention to how collaborative efforts to strengthen human–human and/or human–nature relations are scaled can provide nuanced and comprehensive insights into this matter. By analysing current collaborations between the state and Aboriginal peoples in South Australia through the lens of scales as categories of practice, I reveal ongoing restrictions on who has a voice in collaborative decisions, which decisions are made collaboratively, and whose ways of knowing count in these spaces. All these restrictions exist in similar forms elsewhere. My analysis further indicates that overcoming these restrictions requires identifying the right governances for particular contexts and aims, extending collaboration to all aspects of related initiatives, and recognising the validity of multiple co-existing conceptualisations of sustainability. On this basis, I make the case for moving towards sustainability practices that are diverse across contexts, holistic within them, and embedded in diverse ways of knowing, doing, and being. I conclude with a brief reflection on the value of geographical perspectives for this transition.","PeriodicalId":47233,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Research","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146096512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although various analytical frameworks such as authoritarian environmentalism have been employed to understand China’s state-led model of environmental governance, the implications of digital technologies for local governance practices remain underexamined. This study investigates how technology adoption shapes China’s water governance at a local scale, focussing on the River Chief System (RCS) in a southern Chinese city. Our findings suggest that digital tools enhance accountability and further consolidate the top-down central-local relationship in China by promoting data-driven modes of governance but do not fundamentally alter underlying power relations or the broader governance structure. By examining how digitalisation interacts with the local operation of the RCS, this paper contributes to hydropolitical literature by shedding light on how small-scale technologies may recalibrate the dynamics of power and water. Beyond the Chinese context, this analysis enriches wider debates on digital environmental governance by demonstrating how “smart” water technologies can reinforce existing hierarchies in authoritarian settings and Global South contexts.","PeriodicalId":47233,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Research","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146007783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
