Aidan Davison is an Associate Professor in human geography and environmental studies. Aidan is fascinated and troubled by contested concepts of 'nature', 'development', ‘technology’ and 'sustainability'. In his nationally awarded teaching and interdisciplinary research, he seeks to inquire into environmental sustainability and social justice as a unified goal. He has published two books and over seventy articles and chapters, and supervised to completion over 50 PhD, Masters and Honours students. His research encompasses theoretical, quantitative and qualitative inquiry on diverse topics including the urban forest, suburban history, environmentalism, climate change attitudes, the Anthropocene, practical reasoning and education for sustainability.
Biography
Aidan completed his Doctoral studies at the Institute for Sustainability and Technology Policy at Murdoch University (Western Australia) during the 1990s, before becoming Program Chair of an interdisciplinary degree in Sustainable Development at that University. He returned to the University of Tasmania in 2003 as an Australian Postdoctoral Fellow, having done his undergraduate studies in biochemistry there in the 1980s. He has held a teaching and research position at the University of Tasmania since 2007.

Projects
Affecting the Future: Emotions in the Anthropocene (2021 - 2023)$120,000
- Description
- Reflecting the strategic focus of the College of Sciences and Engineering on climate change and sustainability, this project explores the role of emotions in shaping understandings of and responses to global environmental futures. Based in qualitative methodologies and building on recent geographical and sociological research on emotion and affect, the project challenges dominant representations of emotions as a primarily personal and private experience that lies outside the remit of the physical and social sciences. Rather, understanding feelings as a key constitutive aspect of social discourse and practice, this project seeks to understand how knowledge, emotion and action are co-produced in the context of growing awareness in the 21st century of the extent of human transformation of the biology and geology of the Earth. Encapsulated in the figure of the Anthropocene, this awareness is prompting new expressions of feeling about what comes next. This project will contribute important new insight into the role of emotions in co-constituting different futures

Enabling cultures of bushfire readiness in Australian communities (2020 - 2023)$289,479
- Description
- This project aims to improve bushfire preparation by examining how cultural connections to landscape, place and community affect the ways in which people respond to information about bushfire hazards. Australia's Black Summer showed that many households are inadequately prepared for the 'new normal' of faster, fiercer fires. This is particularly concerning on the urban fringe, where rapid development is changing landscapes, and households face complex socio-economic challenges. The study aims to contribute to the safety of Australians by enabling emergency services to more effectively engage diverse communities in dialogue that promotes bushfire readiness, by connecting with place-based values, aspirations and behaviours.

Caring for thoroughbreds: Addressing social, economic and welfare issues in international horse racing (2013 - 2015)$499,786
- Description
- Horse racing is an economically valuable industry but visible welfare issues are challenging its future. This study addresses perceptions and the economic worth of these issues internationally. Research findings about values, and alternatives to jump racing and whipping horses, will help change the conduct of horse racing around the world.

Valuing third sector sustainability organisations (2012)$19,800
- Description
- A growing range of third sector organisations, including community organisations, social enterprises, and cooperatives, are working to promote transitions to more sustainable communities. Through case studies with such organisations in Tasmania and Queensland's Sunshine Coast, and an exploration of approaches to measuring social transition, the study will scope their role in delivering government programs, creating partnerships and transforming governance paradigms.

Australia's Changing Urban Tree Estate: A Socio-ecological Study of Patterns, Causes and Consequences (2009 - 2011)$130,000
- Description
- Urban trees are a vital element of the sustainability and liveability of cities. Anecdotal evidence suggests recent changes in the Australian urban tree estate. These changes are not well documented, nor are their causes and consequences well understood. Using a novel socio-ecological methodology, data from remote sensing, size class analysis, social surveying, focus groups and interviews will be integrated to understand the patterns and causes of tree retention, establishment and removal. On this basis, predictive models will be developed to aid in planning the optimisation of the urban tree estate.
