Causal explanations and policy interventions in context
Doing Interdisciplinary Environmental Change Research Solo
Interdisciplinary research on people, plants, and environmental change (IRPPE) typically requires collaboration among experts who each bring distinct knowledge and skills to bear on the questions at hand. The benefits and challenges of interdisciplinary research in principle are thus confounded by the dynamics of multidisciplinary collaboration in practice. However, broadly trained researchers can do IRPPE with little or no need of collaborators.…
Mechanisms and Causal Histories
Doing and Knowing
Anthropological claims about indigenous or local knowledge often exaggerate the cultural mystique of such knowledge ‘systems’ and the difficulties associated with rendering local knowledge accessible to outsiders and with ascertaining its utility for initiatives in economic development and environmental conservation. The possible importance of knowledge factors in its spread was recognized from the outset, and such factors were given due attentio…
Event Ecology
Event ecology is a research methodology put forward to counter the privileging of some types of factors or causes over others in such fields as political ecology. In contrast to approaches in these fields, event ecology seeks to explain environmental changes or events, both singular and recurrent, by first considering multiple possible social and/or biophysical causes or types of causes and then using further inquiry to progressively eliminate so…

An event-based methodology for climate change and human–environment research
Abductive causal eventism (ACE) is an analytical methodology based on a pragmatic view of research methods and explanation that places at the center of research inquiry the answering of ‘why’ questions about events, including human actions or environmental changes of interest. When used in human–environment research, the methodology entails constructing causal histories of interrelated social and/or biophysical events backward in time through a p…
Do Property Rights Matter for Conservation? Family Land, Forests and Trees in Saint Lucia, West Indies
Event Ecology, Causal Historical Analysis, and Human-Environment Research
Research on human-environment interactions is especially challenging given its interdisciplinary character and its need to address complexly interacting causes in time and space. Event ecology has been suggested and illustrated as an approach that can effectively address these challenges. Yet, previous writings on event ecology offer only a limited rationale for the approach. This article attempts to address this shortcoming through a more explic…
Ethnobiology, socio-economics and management of mangrove forests
Competing use of marine space in a modernizing fishery
Coastal fishing communities are frequently portrayed as bastions of tradition at odds with the modernizing forces of technological change and industrial capitalism. This article examines this debate in the context of intensive aquaculture introduced into regions formerly dependent on the wild fishery, specifically with respect to the explosive growth of salmon farming in New Brunswick. New farm sites are large, often located within or close to tr…
