Housing And The Discursive Construction Of Community
In response to perceived housing problems, many housing cooperatives have been organized in Canada in the last 20 years. These co-ops are resident managed, nonprofit and nonequity. One of their chief goals is the creation of community. A discourse of cooperation frames co-op discussions on contentious issues, e.g. selection of new members, allocation of space, granting of subsidies to low-income members, and member participation. Yet the demands …
Nasa’s carbon monitoring system (CMS) and arctic-boreal vulnerability experiment (ABoVE) social network and community of practice
The NASA Carbon Monitoring System (CMS) and Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) have been planned and funded by the NASA Earth Science Division. Both programs have a focus on engaging stakeholders and developing science useful for decision making. The resulting programs have funded significant scientific output and advancements in understanding how satellite remote sensing observations can be used to not just study how the Earth is cha…
Hunger, nutrition, and precipitation
Changing precipitation patterns caused by climate change are expected to have major impacts on food security and nutrition in agrarian areas in developing countries. However, the linkages between the duration and severity of precipitation shocks and their effects on child nutrition and household food security metrics remain underexplored. In this study, we used Feed the Future datasets from Ghana and Bangladesh to examine the impact of precipitat…
Geographic factors predict wild food and nonfood NTFP collection by households across four African countries
Wild foods and other nonfood NTFPs are important for improving food security and supplementing incomes in rural peoples' livelihoods. However, studies on the importance of NTFPs to rural communities are often limited to a few select sites and are conducted in areas that are already known to have high rates of NTFP use. To address this, we examined the role of geographic and household level variables in determining whether a household would report…
Unraveling the Sikasso Paradox
When cash cropping leads to agricultural and livelihood changes in the Global South, concern about food security is common among policy makers. This is indeed the case in the Sikasso region of Mali, where many have suggested that the ubiquitous cash crop cotton is a cause of the unexpectedly high rates of malnutrition in the region. Using household and forest surveys, we found little evidence that cotton cultivation is associated with malnutritio…
Spatial Discourses and Social Boundaries
Spatial Discourses and Social Boundaries
THIS ARTICLE EXAMINES the work of a recent Canadian royal commission investigating the future of the Toronto waterfront. It is particularly concerned with the emergence of a new kind of spatial discourse and how it affected the perception of the area, definition of the issues, and planning strategies. Focusing on changing forms of discourse opens a window on the historical processes through which spatial meanings and the experience of space chang…

Conflicts over Use Values in an Urban Canadian Housing Cooperative
CONFLICT BETWEEN THE EXCHANGE and use values of land often is argued to be the chief determinant of the social construction of urban space. When exchange value considerations are not an issue, however, conflicts over use values help reveal the importance of social, cultural, and personal dimensions. Conflicts over landscaping and budget planning in a nonprofit Canadian housing cooperative show the interaction of such factors with people's structu…
