Towards Aeolian Landscapes:: diversifying learning from Covid-times to support cleaning the air within more-than-human worlds.

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has increased our attention to the air. When the crisis begun public health leaders did not begin with thinking about the air, as suggested to the geography discipline by aerographers Jackson and Fannin (2011). Instead they begun with raising anxieties about what we touched – advising an increase in hand-washing in Feb 2020. Indeed, that is where we had begun in developing our expertise and interest in infection prevention and microbial aesthetics, and this still seemed valuable as we put our research proposal together in July 2020 for the Covid-19 emergency call. However, it became quickly apparent that the science was suggesting we had reasons to be anxious about the air we breathed, the air could be infectious, and to manage Covid infection required air management.
