“Perpetual Dispossession: An Exploration of Ownership without Possession”

We examine disruptions in the consumption cycle as possessions are divested of meanings, but never disposed. This perpetual process of dispossession results in legal ownership of objects, without explicit incorporation into the self. Through an ethnographic approach, we examine factors contributing perpetual dispossession and discuss implications for the extended self

“Persons with (dis)Abilities”

This chapter examines workplace discrimination faced by persons with (dis)abilities. It begins by discussing usage, meaning, and effects of the word “disability” and the related term “persons with disabilities.” It then considers the diversity of conditions and experiences among persons with (dis)abilities by reviewing extant research on people with five common disabling conditions (i.e., mobility, seeing, hearing, chronic illness, and psychiatric conditions). It also examines the importance of national context by taking a closer look at research on the experiences of people with (dis)abilities in five nations (i.e., United States, Canada, Germany, India, and China). By separately highlighting extant research on a few common conditions and nations, the chapter’s intent is to show the need for more research on specific conditions in specific work and national contexts, as well as the need for research integrating and summarizing these focused studies.

“Planning for the Future of the Electric Power Sector through Regional Collaboratives”

As it undergoes rapid evolutionary change, the electric power sector has become highly fragmented and complex, with divided responsibilities, lopsided investments, and insufficient coordination to set goals and meet them. The use of regional collaborative governance structures might reimagine the goals and governance of the sector.

“Polytopophilia: Mobility-Just Design for Transitions”

Place-based design for transitions is positioned as a critical strategy for fostering systemic change through localized interventions rooted within communities and ecologies. In an era marked by hypermobility, displacement, and translocal entanglements, this framework faces profound limitations. Mobility, whether chosen or forced, has become a defining condition of contemporary life, shaping how people relate to, inhabit, and design for place. The tension between grounded transition efforts and the lived realities of uneven mobilities calls for approaches that integrate mobility justice within a place-ethics for design.
This article situates this kinetic era of mass movement as a backdrop for rethinking the spatial commitments of transition design. The paper argues that place is not a fixed or bounded entity but a relational and distributed construct.
Polytopophilia is introduced as an orientation of affection for multiple places that challenges static notions of rootedness and embraces the layered, networked geographies that shape contemporary life. Rather than assuming fixity as a condition for stewardship, polytopophilia affirms that people can cultivate deep commitments across dispersed and shifting locales.
Mobility-just design offers a critical extension to existing transition design methodologies by embracing fluid, distributed, and contested place-relations and infrastructures.
