death penalty
interesting example - justice here might mean something hasty, urgent in the moment, but that would benefit from a slower and more complex solution.

Though different in intent and project, bothScanlon and Wren
I don't really understand this distinction.
-
In contrast to approaches that treaturgency as one of a suite of considerations inethical reasoning, here urgency delimits humanagency, such that by the time we choose to under-take any particular action on moral grounds, weassume it to be the only choice we have
Brings to mind the choice of saving buildings and infrastructure ahead of natural habitat in a bushfire or similar natural disaster.

Inthe mathematical representations of epistemicutility arguments, urgency can even be ‘scored’according to the possibility of its accuracy(Leitgeb and Pettigrew, 2010)
Follow-up: re: method

attentiveness to space hasthe potential to improve normative reasoningbeyond our well-developed problematizationof distance (e.g. Smith, 2000; Lawson, 2007)
Don't understand this

surplus to this system
surplus to the system of liberlized economies, global expertise, institutionalization of chronological time? Not sure what it means to be surplus to? If I'm interpreting this correctly, they mean people who are detained, the unemployed, retired people, who might not be treated with urgency. However, it seems to me that urgency is imposed on people who are deeply involved in the system, i.e., career paths that don't allow for personal time, urgent deadlines that impinge on people's free time. Both too little and too much urgency are problems.

Both the conditions and thesignificance of waiting have shifted inresponse to the development of liberalizedeconomies, global expertise and the institutio-nalization of chronological time (Auyero andSwistun, 2009; Jeffery, 2008, 2010).
Key dep. variables: conditions and significant (meaning of waiting ?) Indep. variables: liberlized economies, global expertise, institutionalization of chronological time.
Chronological time is really interesting. What does this look like in other contexts?
-
wait for jobs, housing, asylum or
Visas! horrific differences in the amount of time it takes some people to get tourist / residency visas compared to others.
-
How a person waits can also producejudgments about both her culture and her char-acter.
brings to mind voice referendum and protests such as recent in support of Gaza or BLM.
-
in thecontext of late liberalism and capitalism in cri-sis, geographers are drawing our attention to theways that space and waiting come together toproduce and maintain potentially abusive andharmful arrangements of power and inequality
understand the context, but am interested in how this might also be relevant/different in other contexts e.g. pre-modern or communist societies. Also difference at interpersonal/ community versus societal level?
