Emerging digital product passport initiatives require improved data structuring to support life cycle assessment
Persistent data gaps limit the quality of life cycle assessments (LCAs), which frequently rely on incomplete, outdated, or non-comparable process data. Digital product passports (DPPs), initially developed for supply chain traceability, regulatory compliance, and circular economy objectives, also hold potential to address long-standing data challenges in LCA. Based on 20 selected, publicly documented DPP initiatives assessed as of April 2025, thi…
Long live the Liver King
In this study, we link pertinent concepts from rhetorical studies of the alt-right, animality studies, and conspiracism to explicate the production and dissemination of “carnivore diets” through digital social networks. Taking the ideological and discursive interconnections of animality, hegemonic masculinity, and white nationalism seriously, we conceptualize primal rhetorical networks : a web of influencers and agitators who espouse an ahistoric…
Dairy Pride
In this essay, I utilize the U.S. Congress’ DAIRY PRIDE Act to critique the animal-sourced dairy industry's use of legislative and nutritional discourse to claim the name “dairy” and its analogs. Contextualizing the role of naming, re-naming, and un-naming in environmental communication, I begin with an overview of the U.S. animal-sourced dairy industry’s effort to suppress plant-based alternatives through strategic un-naming practices. I call th…
Woke Sausages at the Cracker Barrel
In August 2022, the U.S. restaurant chain Cracker Barrel introduced a meatless sausage patty—the “Impossible Sausage”—to its breakfast menu. A viral social media backlash against the restaurant ensued. Using Fabio Parasecoli's theory of gastronativism as a theoretical lens, we perform a critical rhetorical analysis of online commentaries regarding Cracker Barrel's Impossible Sausage with an eye toward synecdochic representation. We contend that t…
Losses and lifetimes of metals in the economy
Carnistic Colonialism
This article argues that a fusion of critical animal studies and postcolonial critique affords food systems scholars a richer understanding of Western media narratives regarding a “bushmeat problem” during the 2014 Ebola outbreak. To do so, I perform a rhetorical analysis of expert, journalistic, and editorial texts disseminated through outlets with high economic and/or social capital in North American and Western European countries. My analysis …
Companion Cyborgs
Wolf hybrids present a case study for deconstructing and critiquing how the nature/culture dualism permeates discourses about and constitutes human relationships with “wild” and “domestic” animals. In this essay, I conduct a critical textual analysis of three competing discourses about wolf hybrids: (1) wolf hybrid buyers and sellers determined to defend the animals as suitable pets for the “right owner”; (2) conservationists worried about preser…
Life cycle impact assessment methods for estimating the impacts of dissipative flows of metals
Archival Mocking As Feminist Praxis
My ironic rereading of Thomas Taylor’s Vindication of the Rights of Brutes accomplishes five tasks: First, I provide readers with an introduction to Thomas Taylor (one of protofeminist Mary Wollstonecraft’s harshest critics) and the satiric text he wrote specifically to undermine her. Second, I assess how the inherent instability of textual meaning provides a rationale for ironically reclaiming a text in the service of feminist emancipation (and,…
Effects of Distribution Choice on the Modeling of Life Cycle Inventory Uncertainty
Life cycle inventory data have multiple sources of uncertainty. These data uncertainties are often modeled using probability density functions, and in the ecoinvent database the lognormal distribution is used by default to model exchange uncertainty values. The aim of this article is to systematically measure the effect of this default distribution by changing from the lognormal to several other distribution functions and examining how this chang…
Zombification, Social Death, and the Slaughterhouse
Zombification, Social Death, and the Slaughterhouse:U.S. Industrial Practices of Livestock Slaughter Stephanie Marek Muller (bio) In an August 2016 interview with National Public Radio, Gloria Sarmiento, a representative for the labor advocacy group Nebraska Appleseed, recalled workers' comments on the horrific conditions facing employees working on "the chain" in U.S. American slaughterhouses: "The speed of the line is really fast. The superviso…
Post-conflict peace initiatives, British Mau Mau compensation, and the mastering of colonial pasts
This essay provides readers with a critical rhetorical analysis of the recent settlement of Mutua and others v. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office [2012. EWHC 2678 (QB). Case Number HQ9X02666]. This was a case that was brought by Wambugu Wa Nyingi, Paulo Muoka Nzili, Ndiku Mutwiwa Mutua, and Jane Muthoni, four Kenyans in the early 21st century who alleged that they needed tort relief for the injuries that they had suffered during the Kenyan ‘eme…
Emerging genetic patterns of the european neolithic
The transition from hunting and gathering to agriculture in Europe is associated with demographic changes that may have shifted the human gene pool of the region as a result of an influx of Neolithic farmers from the Near East. However, the genetic composition of populations after the earliest Neolithic, when a diverse mosaic of societies that had been fully engaged in agriculture for some time appeared in central Europe, is poorly known. At this…
The Impact of Value Similarity and Power on the Perception of Threat
Threat perception is a powerful tool in international and intergroup conflict. Realists in international relations argue that the perception of threat in intergroup conflict is a function of power asymmetries between groups. In contrast, social constructivists in international relations suggest that a shared sense of identity or similarity can reduce, and in some cases eliminate, perceptions of intergroup threat. Consequently, threat perception m…
Estimations of parental and self intelligence as a function of parents' status
Gender-Related Traits as Predictors of Alcohol Use in Male German and Spanish University Students
Die Neandertaler
Die Neandertaler gehören nicht nur zu unseren, vor weniger als 30.000 Jahren ausgestorbenen Verwandten, sondern sind - 150 Jahre nach der Entdeckung der ersten Neandertalerfossilien unweit von Düsseldorf - längst zu einem Mythos geworden. Ihr Bild im kulturellen Gedächtnis der Menschheit schwankt zwischen extremen Positionen: hier dumpfe, keulenschwingende Rohlinge, dort Vorfahren des modernen Menschen, die bereits über Sprache, Schmuck und Toten…
