Hedda Askland is shining a light on displaced communities in our own backyards
With stories of war and the impacts of global warming inundating our news, we are overwhelmed with media imagery of displaced communities in developing countries – their homes shattered and futures unclear. But what about displaced communities in developed countries like Australia?
Dr Hedda Askland, an anthropologist and member of the University of Newcastle’s Centre for Social Research and Regional Futures (CSRRF), examines the deep-rooted forces behind home, identity and belonging amongst people experiencing significant social, political and environmental change. Through her research with exile and refugee communities, as well as communities exposed to large-scale development projects, she has found we don’t have to look past our own backyards to find people suffering experiences of displacement.
“In contrast to my previous work with East Timorese living in Australia during a time of political upheaval, I currently work with local, long-established communities in Australia that co-exist with large scale industry. This project looks at people we don’t normally think of as refugees or migrants because they don’t travel across borders – some of them don’t even leave their house,” Askland said.
“…this project is looking at people we don’t normally think of as refugees or migrants because they don’t travel across borders – some of them don’t even leave their house”
Askland is currently conducting an ethnographic study in the Upper Hunter and Mid-Western regions, in which she explores people’s connection to place, their lived experiences of environmental and social change in the context of development, and the possibilities of environmentally-induced relief through movement and migration. At the moment she is working on a case study in the village of Wollar – a historic village on the edge of the Great Dividing Range that is surrounded by three open-cut coalmines.
Prior to the mining boom, Wollar was a community of about 400 people. There was a shop that sold everything from food to farming supplies, two churches, a local bushfire brigade, a mechanic, a nursery and a school. Today, only about 10 percent of the population remain, the nursery is relocating, there are only eight children left in the school and the shop is owned by mining company Peabody Energy – selling only expensive essentials. The closest town, Mudgee, is 50km away and Askland estimates the average age of residents is approximately 60 years old.
“When I speak with people in Wollar, they exhibit a real sense of distress that is connected to the future, especially in relation to the planned expansion of the mine, which will move the mine boundary to only 1.5km from the village,” Askland said.
“This is when I realised we needed to expand the current concepts we have for explaining displacement to something that is about people’s lived experiences and incorporates their imagined futures.”
As a result Askland is developing a concept she has termed ‘eritalgia’, which will assist in better understanding the role the future plays in the lived experiences of social and environmental change.
“The concept adds to the existing concepts ‘nostalgia’, which describes people’s connection to place in the past, and ‘solastalgia’, a term developed by Professor Glenn Albrecht to describe place-based melancholia, trauma or distress in the present. In contrast to these concepts, ‘eritalgia’ points to the embodied sense of displacement that may occur when there is a rupture between lived realities and imagined emplaced self,” Askland explains.
“I believe our understanding of place-based stress and relief must be expanded to incorporate people’s imagined futures, and that by creating a triadic concept such as this we can better understand displacement as an existential condition of loss, as it manifests in relation to the past, the present and the future”.
“By unpacking displacement in the context of what is happening in regional New South Wales, I will challenge conventional ways of understanding and speaking about displacement and relocation. Looking at the loss of community, questions of social cohesion, and individual sense of self as it is happening in Wollar, I am able to explore the question of home as it relates to place and mobility,” Askland explains.
“Not home as a physical place but home as a space in which our sense of self, physical landscape and social landscape are in harmony.”
“When this is aligned, people articulate a sense of home. This project will expand how we understand emplaced and existential loss, and connect it to both spatial and temporal dimensions. It will create an evidence base and theoretical framework for showing the significance of this issue, add to our understanding of the impacts development projects may have on communities and individuals, and show how mobility and migration might both cause and relieve environmentally-induced stress.”
“I hope that through this research I am able to initiate a public debate and awareness about how displacement as an experiential condition is not restricted to refugees and other migrants, but in fact can occur in our own backyard.”

Career Summary
Biography
I am a Norwegian social anthropologist who works in the School of Humanities and Social Science (HASS). I am the Project Director of the Centre for Social Research and Regional Futures (CSRRF) and Deputy Director of the Centre for 21st Century Humanities (C21CH).
My research centres on questions of exile and displacement, place, home, identity and belonging. I have explored these phenomena as they transpire within transnational, translocal and local contexts, working with refugees and asylum seekers from East Timor living in Australian metropolitan centres and mining affected rural communities in New South Wales.
My early work looked at how political and social conflicts in home countries shape everyday realities, communities and identities of former refugees. Through my postgraduate studies (Master of Social Science (research) and PhD), I explored issues related to migration, diaspora, exile, home, community, identity and belonging. Whereas my Master thesis considers the question of a particular group of young East-Timorese exiles in the immediate aftermath of the Indonesian occupation and explores the impact of the Australian Government's immigration policies on the situation of this particular group of asylum seekers, my PhD focuses on issues related to the broader diasporic community. As part of my PhD, I investigated how political unrest and national crisis affect exiles’ experiences of self, community and nation. This was an ethnographic study of East-Timorese expatriates’ lives after the realisation of independence in East Timor that shines a light on how expatriates and diaspora communities experience and relate to violence and radical political change in their home country.
Following my PhD, I spent almost five years as a research fellow in the School of Architecture and Built Environment (SABE). During this period, I managed a two-year ALTC funded project that explored the question of creativity in the context of design and architecture education. This project initiated my pedagogical interests and aspirations to work on developing (and delivering) courses that adopt a student-centred and project-based learning approach, and to think creatively about teaching and assessment so to develop innovative and fun modes for learning whist maintaining an emphasis on theory and rigorous content. As part of my work at SABE, I was also part of two interdisciplinary teams that worked on research project that considered (a) the themes of cultural built heritage, resilience and natural disasters, and (b) ethnography, architectural practice, creativity and management.
When I started in my current position as Senior Lecturer in HASS, I decided to explore how I could merge my previous research on refugees, exile and displacement with my more recent exposure to research on matters related to the natural and built environment. This resulted in what is today my main ethnographic project: Land use, kinship and migration: large-scale resource extraction and the question of home. This is a longitudinal research project in which I explore experiences of environmental and social change at the coal frontier, exploring specifically how movement of people and minerals can be conceptualised in relation to displacement. In conjunction with this ongoing project, I have been involved in a number of other research project that explore matters of land use within rural zones, land use change, energy and extraction.
The overarching theme for all of these projects is how they all speak to matters of place and the meeting between large-scale forces (e.g. industry and climate change) and small local communities. Through ethnographic research, I investigate how mining, land use and land use change relate to place, power, home and exile, paying particular attention to the intersection of mythology, ontology and ecology in the establishment of people’s experiences of self and other. My research program has seen me work with rural communities across New South Wales, various government departments, NGOs and local organisations. Based on my expertise in the area, I have given expert statements on different extractive project applications under consideration by the Minister of Planning. I was an expert witness on social impact in the Rocky Hill court case in the Land and Environment Court, which resulted in the unprecedented rejection of the mine proposal on the grounds of social impact and climate change.

Indigenous Peoples and the Contemporary World University of Newcastle - Faculty of Education and Arts Explores the contemporary socio-cultural, economic and political situation of indigenous peoples in the contemporary world. This course is divided into two complementary sections. Section 1 looks at definitions and parameters of 'indigenous' peoples and their overlap with 'ethnic minorities' and the concept of 'fourth world nations'. Section 2 describes the different types of indigenous peoples' struggles, for example struggles over land/marine rights, co-existence with settler/migrant communities, independence and nationhood, and reclamation of pre-colonial political boundaries and entities. The course will place distinct emphasis how contemporary challenges facing indigenous people relate to questions of land and land use, with exploration of post-colonial and de-colonial theory, through examples of contemporary land use struggles (e.g. Standing Rock). |

From the 1970s, state¿driven pursuits for coal and revenue have radically transformed rural landscapes and sociality in New South Wales, Australia. The region, which has a long history of coal mining, moved from being run by locally based enterprises that contributed to the sustainability of local communities to large-scale, global corporations relying on a translocal workforce. As coal operations emerged from the underground, a radical restructuring of spatial relations took place. This restructuring was also underpinned by the privatisation of coal and power supplies, with transnational extraction corporations becoming landholders in agricultural regions. As the mining boom intensified, mining companies emerged as a major landholder in rural areas of New South Wales. Seeking to purchase strategic properties for exploration, extraction or mitigation, mining companies approached and negotiated with individual, local landholders. In this paper, we consider how this process have followed class¿based lines and how class exposes distinct vulnerabilities and privileges in a meeting with a miner. We contend that there is a vacuum in the planning process, which exposes vulnerable communities that have limited capacity to contest these developments and define the future and meaning of their place of belonging.

[more] © 2018 Elsevier Ltd The concept of solastagia has been developed by environmental philosopher Albrecht to understand the psychological trauma, also referred to as place-based distress, experienced because of environmental change. In this article, we explore ways to further this concept. The article draws on ethnographic fieldwork in a village in the mid-western region of New South Wales (NSW), Australia, which is surrounded by three large open-cut coal mines. Over the past decade, the mines, in particular the Peabody-owned Wilpinjong mine closest to the village, have had a significant impact on biophysical, social and temporal landscapes in the area. We argue that whilst solastalgia may help explore the relationship between the environmental and human distress triggered in these circumstances, the sense of displacement and loss that emerge are entangled with questions of power and dispossession beyond the biophysical realm. Underpinned by a phenomenological framework of analysis, we contend that place-based distress should be understood as an ontological trauma, as the fabrics of place, belonging and the social relations embedded within disrupt the ongoing sense of being associated with home. These include the means to not only link to the past, but also to imagine the future.

In this paper, we explore what architectural practice and, more specifically, the architectural research domain, may gain from the theoretical and methodological premise of anthropology and ethnography. The paper explores a historical link between anthropology and architecture as academic disciplines, arguing that the disciplines are aligned through anthropology's search for understanding the conditions of humanity and architecture's role in forming these very conditions. We do not intend to explicate the individual disciplines but are interested in the crossover between the two and, more specifically, what insights anthropology and ethnography may offer to the discipline of architecture. We consider the relationship between anthropology and architecture, as both a research domain and a profession, and question how anthropology-as an approach to research more so than a discipline-can contribute to the advancement of architectural practice and research.

This paper aims to provide a critical understanding of the discipline of architectural education, exploring how digital technology forms part of two Australian architecture schools. Generally accepted as the unbroken and consistent existence or operation of something over a period of time, continuity represents stability without interruption. In the context of architectural design education, continuity aligns almost symbiotically with the design process; a system that facilitates a continuous loop of input, output and feedback for the designer- from defining the brief, collecting information, synthesising and presenting a design proposal. Preliminary findings of a larger research study that investigates the role of technology in architecture education, suggest that cultural patterns of technology adoption and valuation exist, valorising particular tools and establishing a framework for design teaching and practice that might disrupt the continuity of students' design process. Moreover, the study shows evidence of a disruption of continuity in design school narratives, emphasising the need to rethink design pedagogy and the place of technology herein. Reflecting on these observations, this paper explores the question: When the tools of digital technology challenge the established design process paradigm of an architectural school, how do educators respond to such a disruption in continuity?. |

Enabling Broader Low-Carbon Coalitions$6,568
Visions of the future of energy technology vary significantly within and across societies, both among experts and among the public. More often than not, such visions are driven by ‘hypes’ around a particular technology, be it carbon capture and storage (CCS), long-distance electricity interconnectors or microgrids (Martínez Arranz 2015, 2016; Zervos, Lins and Muth 2010). With anthropogenic climate change calling for urgent action and a move away from a fossil-fuel dependent energy sector to renewables or low-carbon intensive technologies, it is important to gain a better understanding how such visions are created, circulated and gain momentum.

Modelling climate change-driven human displacement in the Hunter region of NSW: An interdisciplinary assessment of risks and adaptation strategies$50,000
In 2014, more than 19.3 million people were displaced by disasters in 100 countries and since 2008, an average of 26.4 million people per year have been displaced by climate or weather-related events.i Climate change, the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) argues, ‘in tandem with people’s increasing exposure and vulnerability, is expected to magnify this trend, as extreme weather events become more frequent and intense in the coming decades’.ii Whilst climate change and weather-related disasters mark the lives of people across the globe, the IDMC’s mapping shows that developing countries are consistently worse affected compared to developed countries. Discussion about ‘climate refugees’ or ‘environmental migrants’ accordingly tends to focus on the situation of people in developing countries. However, climate change is also having an impact on people in the developed world through extreme climate- and weather-events, droughts, desertification, sea level rise, and disruption of seasonal weather patterns.
The notion of climate change-induced displacement remains underexplored within the context of the developed world. This project will initiate an inquiry into climate change induced-displacement in Australia, using the Hunter Region of NSW as a case study. Cutting across conventional disciplinary boundaries, the project will draw on insights from engineering, information technology, law, public health and anthropology. By listening to the co-presence of diverse analytical perspectives, the researchers will seek collaborative moments driving new knowledge and a holistic understanding of risks and adaptation strategies in the context of climate change.iii Using climate models and projections of mobility and migration, the project will: (i) investigate how climate change may manifest within the lives of Hunter residents; (ii) assess risks of displacement; (iii) consider legal and logistical tools that are required to adapt to the projected climate reality; (iv) consider political tools for effective adaptation and mitigation; and (v) present a conceptual framework for understanding climate change induced displacement in the context of the Hunter, including how it relates to psychosocial and environmental distress.
