This article explores how species meet, in particular humans and the Covid-19 virus. It also draws attention to the digital world through the lens of contact-tracing apps. Here, I examine human-virus-data relations, with humans, Covid-19, and data meeting and intra-acting. This article examines what has led us to this situation with Covid-19 and th...
Life on Earth is sustained by interconnected more-than-human entanglements. In the era of the Anthropocene, many of these webs are unravelling due to climate change, biodiversity loss, toxicity and pollution, natural resource extraction, and water and soil depletion. In order to help address these challenges, The Anthropocene and More-Than-Human Wr...
This article aims to add to the emerging empirical mitigation deterrence literature by drawing on ongoing research into a particular form of greenhouse gas removal technology – biochar – and associated biochar carbon markets. As such, the aim of this paper is to explore whether the UK carbon market for biochar, in practice is likely to contribute t...

It brings together 19 short theoretical and experiential contributions, organised into six loose groups which explore areas and perspecti...
Biochar is a land-based greenhouse gas removal technology with potential to address the climate crisis. This article examines societal debate and discussion around biochar as represented in the UK print news media and reflects on its implications for the democratic governance of novel technologies. Using an "issue frame" analysis approach, the foll...
This paper proposes and models a novel approach to public engagement with the use of algorithms in public services. Algorithms pose significant risks which need to be anticipated and mitigated through democratic governance, including public engagement. We argue that as the challenge of creating responsible algorithms within a dynamic innovation sys...
La vida en la Tierra se sostiene gracias a una rica red de entrelazamientos más-que-humanos. En la era del Antropoceno, mucho de este entramado vital se está deshaciendo debido a los efectos del cambio climático, la pérdida de biodiversidad, la excesiva toxicidad y la contaminación de los territorios, la extracción de recursos naturales y el agotam...
Biochar is amongst a growing suite of approaches developed to address the climate crisis by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere; yet public awareness of biochar is low. In this situation, mass-media reporting plays an important role in making an issue public and in creating expectations about its risks and benefits. In British broadsheet ne...
Postdigital nature is the consumption and prosumption of nature through postdigital technologies. Individuals are increasingly co-creating with nature as postdigital technologies become more prevalent. Where interactions with nature used to be between humans and the nonhuman (animals, plants, water, soil etc.), postdigital nature also includes the...
Postdigital technologies can be a double-edged sword for environmental crises. Various postdigital technologies are being used to good effect to address environmental crises including the climate crisis, biodiversity loss, and the destruction of rainforests. For example, there is potential for postdigital technologies to prevent overfishing and to...
The era we now live in is termed the Anthropocene. Climate change, land use change, pesticide and insecticide use, and pollution are all contributing to pollinator loss. To ensure food crops continue to be pollinated, artificial pollinator technologies are being developed. This article asks the question: do we need artificial pollination if we have...
