Dear all,
The Sustainability, Environment and Culture of Materials Research Group at UCL is convening a panel at the RGS/IBG conference 2013, entitled -
"Sustainability and the Home Front(ier): Between governmentality and embodied environmentalism?"
on Thursday August 29, 2013 2.40 – 4.20 PM
Urban Geography Research Group Sponsored Panel Session at Royal Geographical Society/Institute of British Geographers Annual International Conference 2013, London
The household is a critical geographic scale for understanding how urban governmentality and everyday practices of sustainability collide. This panel will interrogate the household as a frontier for policy interventions promoting “sustainable behaviours”, exploring normative understandings of house and home and addressing important questions about sustainability and social justice.
Michelle Shipworth from UCL’s Energy Institute will lead a discussion in response to four papers:
*Domesticating environmental responses through rainwater harvesting in Mumbai Cat Button, Newcastle University
*Retrofit policy ‘done to’ the occupants: how does this dynamic affect the outcomes? Jennifer Love, University College London
*Practicing Renovating: From “I change furniture like once a month…” to “…that extra room would really add to a better quality of life while we stay here.” Charlie Wilson and Lucy Crane, University of East Anglia
*How are policy interventions received at the scale of the home? Findings from an investigation of fuel poverty Kate Simpson, Loughborough University, and Faye Wade, University College London
