  • Co-productive agility and four collaborative pathways to sustainability transformations

    Open AccessJosephine M Chambers, Carina Wyborn et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2021Cited by: 51References: 18

    Co-production, the collaborative weaving of research and practice by diverse societal actors, is argued to play an important role in sustainability transformations. Yet, there is still poor understanding of how to navigate the tensions that emerge in these processes. Through analyzing 32 initiatives worldwide that co-produced knowledge and action to foster sustainable social-ecological relations, we conceptualize ‘co-productive agility’ as an eme…

  • Nutritional Status of Maasai Pastoralists under Change

    Open AccessKathleen A Galvin, Kathleen Galvin et al.ARTICLEHuman Ecology2015Cited by: 10References: 46

    This study assesses the nutritional status of Maasai pastoralists living in a period of great social, economic and ecological changes in Kajiado County, southern Kenya. Data on weight, height, skinfolds, and circumferences were collected from 534 individuals in the year 2000. The data were used to describe mean differences in human nutrition between ages, sexes, and within and among three Group Ranches. Nutritional data and diet recall data were …

  • Dynamics and Resilience of Rangelands and Pastoral Peoples Around the Globe

    Open AccessRobin S Reid, María E Fernández-Giménez et al.ARTICLEAnnual Review of Environment and…2014

    Rangelands cover more of Earth's land surface than any other type of land. They have variable and harsh climates, are sparsely populated and remote from markets, produce significant quantities of livestock, and are mostly used and managed in common. Under this already unpredictable and harsh climate, pastoral peoples and rangelands face new and accelerating political, economic, and climatic stresses that challenge their coupled resilience and abi…

  • Transitions

    Kathleen A Galvin, Kathleen GalvinARTICLEAnnual Review of Anthropology2009

    This review covers two major causes of change in pastoral systems. First is fragmentation, the dissection of a natural system into spatially isolated parts, which is caused by a number of socioeconomic factors such as changes in land tenure, agriculture, sedentarization, and institutions. Second is climate change and climate variability, which are expected to alter dry and semiarid grasslands now and into the future. Details of these changes are …

    Elliot Fratkin, Kathleen A GalvinBOOKAfrican Pastoralist Systems1994

    The authors present overviews of their fields of specialization and in depth analyses of their research data. The discussions stress the interrelationships among differing social, economic, ecological, and biological aspects of African pastoralism.

  • Nutritional ecology of pastoralists in dry tropical Africa

    Open AccessKathleen A Galvin, Kathleen GalvinARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology1992

    African pastoralists inhabit a variety of environments within tropical arid to semiarid regions. Ecological and cultural factors as well as economic opportunities and constraints influence the amounts and types of foods available. The preferred staple of all pastoral populations is milk from livestock. Pastoral diets are low in energy, but apparently adequate in protein. Growth in children is slow until late adolescence when height approaches the…

  • Nutritional Status as an Indicator of Impending Food Stress

    Open AccessKathleen A Galvin, Kathleen GalvinARTICLEDisasters1988Cited by: 14References: 7

    Famine early warning systems benefit from a variety of indicators which together signal the initial stages of food stress for particular population groups. Anthropometry has been used as an indicator in early warning systems, but there are inherent problems in its use which should be understood. Using data from Turkana pastoralists of northwest Kenya, this paper discusses the problems of: time lag between food shortages and changes in body size a…
