Wildlife and wellbeing
Animal-assisted interventions (AAI) involve interactions between humans and other species aimed at improving human psychological and/or physical health. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a condition in which AAI may be helpful. Most AAI research has been conducted with domestic animals. Few studies have been conducted with wildlife. This study used a modified crossover design to evaluate the feasibility and human response to a nature/wildl…
Visitors’ Feelings toward Moose and Coyote in a Wildlife Sanctuary
Despite the importance of biodiversity, humans value some species more highly than others. Placing different levels of value on species can impact nonhuman animal welfare and conservation. Feelings are central to value recognition. It’s critical to better understand how to foster positive feelings toward different species. The purpose of this study was to test the Transcendent Feelings of Animal Valuation scale and evaluate the influence of a wil…

The Patterned and Emergent Boundaries of Wilderness Beings
This paper explores the permeable boundaries between humans and free-living animals through interweaving the author’s experience with a New England coyote and the cognitional philosophy of Bernard Lonergan. Human knowledge of wildlife emerges within patterned and variable ecological experiences. These emergent encounters are mutually created with both human and creature as knowers of one another. The paper suggests that the variability within hum…
The Right to Life in Peace
Since 2008, the UN Human Rights Council has been working on a declaration related to the right to peace. The Council has established an Open-Ended Working Group, which is refining the draft declaration. This paper discusses the relationship between the right to health and the right to life in peace; we argue that peace and the conditions that support peace are essential to realize the right to health. Health professionals have an important role t…
Transcendental Method for Research with Human Subjects
This article provides an overview of a qualitative research method called transcendental method for research with human subjects. The method employs a transformative phenomenological approach and was developed using the philosophy of Bernard Lonergan. Reflective use of this method suggests that it has both investigational and interventional qualities, with transformative potential for both researcher and study participants
