Healthy sex, moving beyond legal consent framing in sex education
This paper provides an extensive literature review of current approaches to sexual consent and demonstrates their insufficiency for teaching higher education students about healthy sex. Their overemphasis on the giving of consent to the detriment of attention to the process of gaining consent, as well as their inappropriate utilisation of incomplete legal frames, make them inadequate for preventing rape in a world shaped by gendered social norms.…
University Student Food Insecurity as a Form of Structural Violence
Studies of college student food insecurity emphasize the personal characteristics of students and their individual health outcomes, reflecting trends in public health to encourage individual lifestyle changes. More recent work in public health diverges from this focus to encourage conceptualizing health issues not as individual failings but rather as failures of larger systems that are necessary to support health and well-being, implicating the a…
Why College Students Don't Access Resources for Food Insecurity
Attempts to understand college student food insecurity have primarily focused on demographic characteristics associated with higher rates of food insecurity, and have recommended improving awareness of and access to resources such as campus food pantries. We argue in this article that this emphasis on individual-level factors and efforts can lead to stigma or shame for many of those using pantries and other programs. Our survey and interview data…
More than Money
Studies have shown that many college students are experiencing food insecurity and that the reasons for this are multifactorial. Students are unable to acquire adequate food to meet their needs because of limited money, time, transportation, and other factors. However, food insecurity rates are almost always assessed by using the USDA’s food security survey module, which frames the barriers to food access as purely financial by relying entirely o…

Unequal sustainabilities
In this article, I examine the efforts of a national marine protected area in Loreto, Mexico, to create sustainable development through regulations and economic development programs. I argue that these kinds of efforts can ignore social aspects of sustainability, particularly the ways that existing economic, political, and social inequalities interact with sustainability efforts through flawed participatory processes, misunderstandings of communi…
Evidence of Demand for Index Insurance
We present results of experimental games with smallholder farmers in Tigray, Ethiopia, in 2010, in which participants in the games allocated money across risk management options. One of the options was index insurance that was the same as commercial products sold locally. Participants exhibited clear preferences for insurance contracts with higher frequency payouts and for insurance over other risk management options, including high interest savi…
Breaking the Bounds of Rationality
In fishing communities in Baja California Sur, Mexico, fisheries management is heavily influenced by models of individual economic rationality held by biologists and others involved in management, in which fishermen 'choose' to overfish because they are motivated by selfish individual rationality. Yet there is much that is neglected by these models, including the pressures of economic markets, family and community expectations, and cultural and p…
Introduction
In this brief introduction, we examine the themes and issues that link the three papers in this special section. In each case, neoliberal conservation practices appear to be predicated on a certain kind of individual subject with certain kinds of motives and behaviours-the rational actor. Taken together, these three papers challenge three assumptions of rational actor models, including that individuals are self-interested and attempt to maximise …
We Are Daughters of the Sea
Este artículo traza el desarrollo de una cooperativa de mujeres en un área rural de Baja California Sur, México, y describe cómo estas mujeres han usado estrategias locales para crear un negocio relativamente exitoso. Sus estrategias incluyen la creación de una cooperativa con una carpeta de proyectos diversificados, e integración de redes sociales que les permiten adquirir recursos externos, mientras que mantienen control sobre sus proyectos. El…
To cooperate or not to cooperate
Developing Climate Adaptation
Using a case study from Ethiopia, this article examines the ways in which climate information and economic development interact in climate adaptation programmes. Microinsurance programmes have become very popular as an adaptation strategy but there has been little attention paid to the social, economic and political aspects of implementation. Examining one case in relation to the broader literature on climate adaptation projects suggests that gre…
Choices, Options, and Constraints
This paper analyzes the making processes of the staff of a Mexican national marine park and how their options for natural resource management are affected by internal, external, and relational constraints. Using ethnographic data gathered from 2001-2003, I suggest that the failure of the marine park to accomplish its management goals was not from the lack of a plan to manage the marine area or from internal policies or practices, but from mismatc…
