Our special feature of People and Nature on the Digital Dimensions of Nature Recovery is coming into being! The special feature emerges from our 2024 conference at the Cheng Kar Shun Digital Hub, Jesus College, Oxford besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/toc/10.1... @peopleandnature.bsky.social

The Digital Dimensions of Nature Recovery: People and Nature

<em>People and Nature</em> is an international journal publishing interdisciplinary research with ecological relevance that explores the relationships between humans and nature.

📷️"Can digital surveillance help in nature recovery? Yes, there are lots of applications, from tracking migration to finding cryptic species, but also consequences for the way we see nature - and addressing impacts, ethics and political ecology may not be easy" 📖 Read more here! ➡️ buff.ly/veQ19kz

Ray Chan and I are convening a panel at the upcoming RGS-IBG 2026 conference titled "Digital Disease Ecologies of More-than-Human Health". Please see the abstract below, and if you are interested in attending send george.kirkham@sjc.ox.ac.uk a 250 word abstract with a short bio by the 23rd Feb

The proliferation of digital tools in public health has spurred the emergence of ‘digital health’, a term encompassing the varied technologies that utilise digital media to manage illness and support wellbeing (Lupton, 2022). Meanwhile, the rise of One Health as an influential public health paradigm – and with it the idea that animals, humans, and the environment form an interdependent system that should be governed in a coordinated, interdisciplinary manner to secure positive health for all – has contributed to new technologies that seek to monitor and manage disease emergence across species lines (Braverman, 2022). Despite this ambition, much geographical analysis has argued that digital health interventions are anthropocentric, attending to non-humans through modes of surveillance and datafication in so much as they represent a risk to human health, furthering an unequal public health paradigm that leaves little space for local contingency and the wants and needs of non-human actors (Hinchliffe, 2015; Lupton, 2022). Nevertheless, recent geographical work channeling more affirmative ‘digital ecologies’ approaches to the digitisation of more-than-human relations has considered how digital technologies also cultivate understanding of and responsiveness to how pathogens, disease vectors, reservoirs, and environments in specific contexts are implicated in and impacted by disease emergence, throwing light on how digitisation may reconfigure disease ecologies to enable life in less-pathological configurations (Turnbull, 2022; Kirkham, 2026).Expanding on understandings of digitisation as a process that materially configures disease ecologies to produce programmes of biopolitical intervention, intersubjective experiences of illness and wellbeing, and uneven health outcomes across species lines, this panel interrogates how digital technologies are shaping whose, and what, health is made to matter across diverse contexts. How can we merge digital geographies and health geography scholarship to apprehend the digital mediation of illness and wellbeing? What happens when digital health technologies are inserted into unequal health geographies? How do these technologies reconfigure the topologies of more-than-human relations that drive disease emergence? And how may digital health technology sediment or open taken-for-granted understandings of public health? We are interested in papers answering: • The role of digital technology in practices of biosecurity and disease surveillance at the human-animal-environment nexus, including the ways in which processes of digital datafication, visualisation, and mapping alter how disease situations are apprehended and acted within; • how digital health technologies mediate the experiential dimensions of human-non-human encounter in the context of disease governance; • the political economies of digital disease governance and the role of digital technologies in challenging or supporting pathological industries; • the role of digital technologies as they operate within agro-industrial and veterinary sectors, and the consequences this has for labour, care practices, and more-than-human health; • how material infrastructures of the digital, such as data centres, chip production, and e-waste, are implicated in disease emergence and environmental health; • how digital technologies may or may not transform conventional public health approaches to facilitate the assembly of ‘healthy publics’ or a ‘more-than-One Health’ agenda (Hinchliffe, 2015; Hinchliffe et al., 2018).

New article for @tibg.bsky.social. Through the case of digital snake rescue, I merge @digicologies.bsky.social and disease ecology work to develop the lens of 'digital disease ecologies' - a way to analyse how digital encounter and datafication configure disease emergence and multispecies health.
