Willingness to change and transition pain - exploring forestry students’ views on future forestry
This study explores the thoughts of forestry students at upper secondary school about future working life, as well as their hopes and concerns related to the phase-out of intensive forest management practices. How students relate to forest is seen as central to understanding the emotions that shape their view of the future. The concept of transition pain is used to analyse feelings such as resistance and perceived unfairness. The study is based o…
Co-creating multifunctional landscapes – lessons from three case studies
In the face of overlapping social and environmental challenges, multifunctionality has emerged as an important concept in ecosystem and landscape governance. To operationalize multifunctionality, the governance literature calls for collaborative approaches. Despite the abundant literature on collaborative approaches, there is a gap between rhetoric and practice and a need for more real-world examples. This paper explores the role and value of co-…
Unlocking a transition to alternative forest management in intensive management contexts
Forests are increasingly recognized as providing key nature-based solutions for societal challenges related to climate change, biodiversity loss, and sustainable development. This is driving a shift towards greater consideration of alternative forest management (AFM) approaches that promote ecological integrity and social values alongside economic viability. This study investigates constraints and opportunities influencing the adoption of AFM pra…
Representations of wildfires in academia
In response to intensifying wildfire seasons, scholars call for new wildfire policy and management approaches. Based on the assumption that science, policy, and management are integrated spheres of meaning-making, this article aims to contribute to reflective and creative research conversations about fire policy and management by directing analytical attention to the role of science. Using Causal Layered Analysis, we unpack scientific representat…
Public perceptions of using forests to fuel the European bioeconomy
The political project on bioeconomy strives to address multiple societal aspirations, namely combine economic growth with environmental sustainability in some socially acceptable manner. The contradictions between the goals and the concrete plans to increase production, processing, and consumption of forest biomass in Europe have however raised sustainability concerns within and beyond its borders. While political actors articulate such contradic…
Whose transformation is this? Unpacking the ‘apparatus of capture’ in Sweden's bioeconomy
This study investigates how and by whom the Swedish (forest) bioeconomy has been shaped so far. We unpack emerging bioeconomies as discursive constructs and use the 'apparatus of capture' as a conceptual framework to understand and rethink the Swedish bioeconomy. Based on analysis of empirical data from multiple sources (e.g., online surveys, in-depth interviews, participatory observations), we identify a closed bioeconomy network structure that …
Critical, Engaged and Change-oriented Scholarship in Environmental Communication. Six Methodological Dilemmas to Think With
While calls for critical, engaged and change-oriented scholarship in environmental communication (EC) abound, few articles discuss what this may practically entail. With this article, we aim to contribute to a discussion in EC about the methodological implications of such scholarship. Based on our combined experience in EC research and drawing from a variety of academic fields, we describe six methodological dilemmas that we encounter in our rese…
Swedish Forests in the Bioeconomy
The concept of a bioeconomy has been placed central in formation of a Swedish National Forest Program (NFP). Drawing on Hajer's conceptual framework of storylines, we present a discourse analysis of the working group reports underlying the establishment of the NFP strategy. We ask what stories about Swedish forests come to dominate the NFP process, how well they reflect the commitment of balancing economic, social and environmental interests, and…
Bioeconomy perception by future stakeholders
This article provides useful information for universities offering forestry programs and facing the growing demand for bioeconomy education. An explorative survey on bioeconomy perception among 1400 students enrolled in 29 universities across nine European countries offering forestry programs was performed. The data have been elaborated via descriptive statistics and cluster analysis. Around 70% of respondents have heard about the bioeconomy, mai…
