Amid a climate of crisis and ‘unprecedented times’, moments of destruction and devastation are intertwined with those of respite and renewal. By exploring these moments—their mechanisms and tensions—scholars can produce new insights into our past, present and potential futures. 

In Part II of this deep conversation, join Dr Nicholas Hoare, Dr Scott McKinnon, and Dr Annick Thomassin as they reflect on the practice, meaning and significance of rehabilitation, and its significance for communities, histories, institutions, and ecologies.

• Dr Scott McKinnon, PERL Research Fellow in the Australian Centre for Culture, Environment, Society and Space (ACCESS), School of Geography and Sustainable Communities, University of Wollongong
