요약Insecurity is often measured in material terms-income, infrastructure, assets. Yet, for those living in precarious environments, it is also emotional, embodied, and relational. This dissertation examines the everyday dynamics of insecurity in Kilifi County, Kenya, drawing on twenty-one months of ethnographic fieldwork to foreground the affective and gendered dimensions of survival amid structural fragility. Through a feminist political ecology lens, it explores how insecurity is lived, felt, and negotiated across domains of water, work, and well-being.The project is organized around three interlinked chapters that together trace the textures of precarity in Kilifi: the embodied labor of navigating unreliable water infrastructure; the emotional and cognitive calculations entailed in making difficult livelihood decisions; and the subjective assessments of security shaped by social comparison, memory, and aspiration. Across these chapters, the dissertation develops three cross-cutting analytical themes: (1) fragility and precarity, examining how broken or absent systems-whether infrastructural, economic, or institutional-produce uneven burdens and persistent uncertainty; (2) embodiment and emotion, emphasizing the physical and emotional toll of managing risk and scarcity; and (3) agency and adaptation, attending to the creative, affective, and often invisible forms of labor that sustain life in uncertain conditions.Situated within broader debates in political ecology, development studies, and feminist geography, this research challenges technocratic understandings of insecurity by highlighting how gender, power, and emotion shape people's relationships to infrastructure, livelihoods, and imagined futures. It argues that to understand what it means to be secure-or insecure-we must attend not only to what people lack, but to how they feel, decide, and care within systems that are unstable, unequal, and often unjust. In doing so, the dissertation advances a place-based, relational account of insecurity that recognizes the nuanced ways people endure, resist, and imagine possibilities within precarious worlds.

■520    ▼aInsecurity  is  often  measured  in  material  terms-income,  infrastructure,  assets.  Yet,  for  those  living  in  precarious  environments,  it  is  also  emotional,  embodied,  and  relational.  This  dissertation  examines  the  everyday  dynamics  of  insecurity  in  Kilifi  County,  Kenya,  drawing  on  twenty-one  months  of  ethnographic  fieldwork  to  foreground  the  affective  and  gendered  dimensions  of  survival  amid  structural  fragility.  Through  a  feminist  political  ecology  lens,  it  explores  how  insecurity  is  lived,  felt,  and  negotiated  across  domains  of  water,  work,  and  well-being.The  project  is  organized  around  three  interlinked  chapters  that  together  trace  the  textures  of  precarity  in  Kilifi:  the  embodied  labor  of  navigating  unreliable  water  infrastructure;  the  emotional  and  cognitive  calculations  entailed  in  making  difficult  livelihood  decisions;  and  the  subjective  assessments  of  security  shaped  by  social  comparison,  memory,  and  aspiration.  Across  these  chapters,  the  dissertation  develops  three  cross-cutting  analytical  themes:  (1)  fragility  and  precarity,  examining  how  broken  or  absent  systems-whether  infrastructural,  economic,  or  institutional-produce  uneven  burdens  and  persistent  uncertainty;  (2)  embodiment  and  emotion,  emphasizing  the  physical  and  emotional  toll  of  managing  risk  and  scarcity;  and  (3)  agency  and  adaptation,  attending  to  the  creative,  affective,  and  often  invisible  forms  of  labor  that  sustain  life  in  uncertain  conditions.Situated  within  broader  debates  in  political  ecology,  development  studies,  and  feminist  geography,  this  research  challenges  technocratic  understandings  of  insecurity  by  highlighting how  gender,  power,  and  emotion  shape  people's  relationships  to  infrastructure,  livelihoods,  and  imagined  futures.  It  argues  that  to  understand  what  it  means  to  be  secure-or  insecure-we  must  attend  not  only  to  what  people  lack,  but  to  how  they  feel,  decide,  and  care  within  systems  that  are  unstable,  unequal,  and  often  unjust.  In  doing  so,  the  dissertation  advances  a  place-based,  relational  account  of  insecurity  that  recognizes  the  nuanced  ways  people  endure,  resist,  and  imagine  possibilities  within  precarious  worlds.
