Jonathon Turnbull

PhD candidate, Department of Geography and King’s College

Jonathon is a cultural and environmental geographer whose research examines how understandings of nature are produced and contested across geographical contexts and why this matters for more-than-human social, political, and economic life. His PhD research takes place in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone in Ukraine and examines competing narratives concerning nature’s recovery in the Zone. Conceptually, he is interested in more-than-human and animal(s’) geographies, new and historical materialisms, post-humanisms, digital ecologies, and the ‘weird’.

Джонатон — культурний та екологічний географ, до зацікавлень якого входять стосунки між людьми та тваринами, зокрема собаками, в Чорнобильській зоні відчуження. Концептуально Він цікавиться географією, що виходить за межі дослідження лише людей та тварин, новітнім та історичним матеріалізмом, постгуманізмомами, цифровою екологією та «дивним».

Research

Radioactive Resurgence: Nuclear Natures in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone

My PhD research examines radioactive resurgence in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone in Ukraine. I am interested in how and why Chornobyl comes to be understood simultaneously as a post-apocalyptic wasteland and a thriving nuclear nature reserve, as well as the responsibilities that nuclear natures inaugurate for different groups of people. I unpack the scientific controversy that exists among radioecologists working on Chornobyl, focusing primarily on the lives and material ecologies of two especially charismatic members of the Canidae family: wolves and dogs.

The project is empirically grounded in two years of more-than-human ethnographic work in the Zone alongside a range of groups that research, care for, and represent wildlife at Chornobyl. This included a photovoicing project with the checkpoint guards who live with and care for Chornobyl’s free-roaming dog population. I also work with conservation biologists, radio-ecologists, tourists, local workers, and an NGO – the Clean Futures Fund – amongst others, to unpack the spectacle associated with Nature’s ‘return’ to Chornobyl and to offer situated, everyday, and grounded understandings of nuclear natures.

My thesis draws on a wide range of literature from across geography and the environmental humanities to conceptualise weird ecologies, spectacular natures, and contaminated care at Chornobyl. With a Ukrainian film crew, I am producing a film on the dogs in the Zone called Собаки Що Вижили (The Dogs That Survived). Our film and exhibition were shown at The Cambridge Festival in 2023.

Digital Ecologies

In 2021, I co-founded Digital Ecologies, an interdisciplinary and international research group seeking to foster critical conversations at the interface of more-than-human and digital geographies, political ecology, and new media studies. Together, we conduct empirical and conceptual research into the digitisation of more-than-human worlds, examining the varying ways in which nonhumans are digitised and for what purposes. Our first paper was published recently in Progress in Environmental Geography in which we develop an analytical framework to guide research in this emerging field.

Our inaugural conference was held online in 2021, and the proceeds of this will be published as an edited collection under contract with Manchester University Press in 2023. Our second conference – Digital Ecologies in Practice – was held at Bonn University in July 2022, and the proceeds with be published as a special issue of cultural geographies in practice.

Anthropause Environmentalisms

‘Anthropause Environmentalisms‘ is a collaborative research project that examines how human-nature relations were reconfigured during the COVID-19 Anthropause. We have explored resurgent natures, quarantine urban ecologies, and digitised human-nature relations (including virtual trips to Chornobyl to feed the dogs that roam the Zone), focusing particularly on the role digital technologies played in fostering eco-positive online communities and convivial relations with local natures. The Self-Isolating Bird Club, an online nature group that emerged in the early days of the pandemic, is used as an illustrative case study. This ongoing project is conducted with Dr Adam Searle, Professor Jamie Lorimer, Professor Bill Adams, Professor Christian Rutz, and Naomi Parker.

The Digital Peregrine

The Digital Peregrine is a collaborative research project with Dr Adam Searle and Professor Bill Adams. We explore the parallel history of peregrine falcon resurgence and the development of webcam technologies to offer a ‘technonatural history‘ of peregrines in the United Kingdom. We also explore how ‘nestcams’ are transforming understandings of peregrine ecology, leading to novel scientific discoveries.

Bovine Geographies

My MSc research (supervised by Dr Maan Barua) examined the bovine geographies of India’s sacred cows. Drawing on archival and ethnographic research, we show how certain cattle in India came to be understood as ‘surplus’, and track what life looks life for these animals, living on waste, in Delhi. This project brings biopolitics and bioeconomy into critical conversation to provincialise lively capital.

With Dr Catherine Oliver, Dr Adam Searle, Dr François Thoreau, and Dr Else Vogel, I am working on a project concerning metabolism and cattle. We are theorising metabo-politics as an emerging form of biopower that operates across scales, from the microbiome to the planetary.

Ukrainian Environmental Humanities

My PhD research contributes to the emerging field of the Ukrainian Environmental Humanities, which brings environmental humanities scholarship into conversation with Ukrainian studies. In 2022, I co-founded the Ukrainian Environmental Humanities Network with a group of early career researchers, designers, artists, and curators from Ukraine, Poland, and the UK: Karolina Uskakovych, Dmytro Chepurnyi, Oleksandra Pogrebnyak, and Ewa Sułek. The interdisciplinary network serves as a community and space to gather and share ideas, promote and support work, and enable and encourage collaboration within Ukraine and beyond. Our inaugural seminar series will run online over the summer in 2023.

I have a long-standing collaboration with ceramicist, Thomas Hedley. We work together to understand how geographical ideas might be represented in ceramic forms to engage a variety of publics. I have also worked as a research assistant on a project entitled ‘Meat and Masculinities’ at Newcastle University with Dr Michael Richardson.

My other interests include science and technology studies, vegan geographies, lively capital, chemical geographies, cli/sci-fi, the weird, non-representational theories, minor ecologies, spiritual ecology, landscape, queer ecologies, more-than-human collaborations, and psychedelic geographies.

I have been a visiting researcher at the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy based in Kyiv, Ukraine, from 2019-2022, and speak Ukrainian. From March – July 2022 I was a visiting research at Wageningen University, The Netherlands, under the guidance of Dr Clemens Driessen.

Between July and August 2022, I am undertaking a writing residency with Ukraine Lab, funded by the Ukrainian Institute, the British Council, and PEN Ukraine. My piece on the Kyiv thickets is published in The Ecologist (in English) and Українська Правда (in Ukrainian), alongside fellow environment resident Katia Iakovlenko’s work. The entire collection of Ukraine Lab essays can be found here in English and Ukrainian, and our launch event at the British Library can be viewed here.

I am an editorial board member of Routes: The Journal for Student Geographers.
