  • Fossil fuel phaseout, renewable energy, and just transition discourse at COP26 and COP28: A discourse network analysis of Instagram posts

    Open Access•Mark Shakespear, Yasmin Koop-Monteiro et al.•ARTICLE•Energy Research & Social Science•2026

    The authors conduct a comparative discourse network analysis of Instagram posts discussing the 2021 (COP26) and 2023 (COP28) UN climate change conferences. COP26 produced the first UNFCCC agreement to explicitly acknowledge the central role of fossil fuels in climate change, calling for the phasedown of unabated coal power and phaseout of inefficient fossil fuel subsidies. The COP28 agreement further acknowledged the need to transition away from …

  • Canada and the United States—a Friendship Strained

    Open Access•Seth Abrutyn, Amin Ghaziani et al.•ARTICLE•Contexts•2025

    A curated collection of sociological essays on the fraying of an international relationship built on years of trust, reciprocity, mutual understanding, and shared reality, this special section considers U.S.- Canada relations from the Canadian perspective

  • Instagram as an Arena of Climate Change Communication and Mobilization: A Discourse Network Analysis of COP26

    Mark C J Stoddart, Yasmin Koop-Monteiro et al.•ARTICLE•Environmental Communication•2025

    Conference of the Parties (COP) meetings on climate change are opportunities for social movements and other non-state actors to engage in climate change communication and mobilization. We focus on Instagram as an online arena of climate communication and mobilization during COP26, held in Glasgow. Instagram is a distinct arena for eco-political communication and activism because of its visual focus and generally younger user base. Using a Discour…

    Yasmin Koop-Monteiro, Mark C J Stoddart et al.•ARTICLE•Environmental Sociology•2023•Cited by: 1•References: 26

    Animals featured prominently during the United Nations’ 2021 Climate Change Conference (COP26), both within the meeting and outside during protests. This begs the question: How are animals portrayed in climate change discourse? To answer this question, we conduct visual and discourse network analysis of animal-related Instagram posts collected around COP26. We present a typology of four ways in which animals are framed as (1) metaphors for climat…

  • Conference of the Parties Meetings as Regularly Scheduled Critical Events for Global Climate Governance: Reflecting on COP 26 and the Glasgow Climate Pact

    Mark C J Stoddart, David B Tindall et al.•ARTICLE•Society & Natural Resources•2023•Cited by: 3•References: 9

    In this commentary, we reflect on COP26, its outcomes, and the UNFCCC processes. While the value and results of COP meetings are often contested by researchers and activists, we highlight three areas that deserve more attention in post-COP assessments. First, the COP process creates an arena where state leaders, researchers, climate activists, and private actors regularly meet, which facilitates cooperation over time. Second, COP meetings are sit…

  • Big data, computational social science, and other recent innovations in social network analysis

    Open Access•David B Tindall, John Mclevey et al.•ARTICLE•Canadian Review of Sociology/Revue…•2022•Cited by: 3•References: 34

    While sociologists have studied social networks for about one hundred years, recent developments in data, technology, and methods of analysis provide opportunities for social network analysis (SNA) to play a prominent role in the new research world of big data and computational social science (CSS). In our review, we focus on four broad topics: (1) Collecting Social Network Data from the Web, (2) Non-traditional and Bipartite/Multi-mode Networks,…

  • Political values and socialization in environmental movements

    David B Tindall, Valerie Berseth et al.•CHAPTER•Routledge Handbook of Environmental…•2021

    In this chapter we provide an overview of political values and socialization as applied to the environmental movement. We begin by considering some ways in which the environmental movement might be mapped and provide some empirical examples using survey data. Next, we review several theoretical perspectives that focus on values and related phenomena as explanations for environmentalism and other forms of social movement activity. Specifically, we…

  • Tangled Roots: Personal Networks and the Participation of Individuals in an Anti-environmentalism Countermovement

    Open Access•David B Tindall, A C Howe et al.•ARTICLE•Sociological Perspectives•2021•References: 52

    We focus on the personal networks of members of an anti-environmentalism countermovement in a small town in Canada (Port Alberni, B.C.) that mobilized against the environmental movement. Drawing primarily from social survey data, we investigate the effects of network-based mobilization processes, and contending-movement ties (ties to the environmental movement), on level of participation in the countermovement. We add to the literature on network…

  • What a Small Group of People Can(’t) Do

    Ana-Elia Ramón-Hidalgo, Howard W Harshaw et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology of Development•2020

    A growing body of scholars in natural resources management have called for the examination of the roles of social capital and social networks in the effective maintenance of community-based projects. Yet, the role of social capital in collective action cannot be effectively understood without studying agency. The goal of this study is to examine how agents’ individual characteristics and their structural social capital, along with broader cogniti…

  • Media Coverage and Perceived Policy Influence of Environmental Actors: Good Strategy or Pyrrhic Victory

    Open Access•A C Howe, Mark C J Stoddart et al.•ARTICLE•Politics and Governance•2020•Cited by: 4•References: 28

    In this article we analyze how media coverage for environmental actors (individual environmental activists and environmental movement organizations) is associated with their perceived policy influence in Canadian climate change policy networks. We conceptualize media coverage as the total number of media mentions an actor received in Canada’s two main national newspapers—the Globe and Mail and National Post . We conceptualize perceived policy inf…

  • Social Networks and Climate Change Policy Preferences: Structural Location and Policy Actor Support for Fossil Fuel Production

    David B Tindall, Mark C J Stoddart et al.•ARTICLE•Society & Natural Resources•2020•Cited by: 13•References: 23

    Contrary to what is needed for reducing global GHG emissions, successive Canadian governments have placed fossil fuel production at the core of national economic development. This presents a puzzle: how should we understand contradictory political commitments to the Paris agreement and low carbon energy futures, on one hand, and the persistence of support for fossil fuel centered energy futures, on the other hand. Using a policy network perspecti…

  • Climate change policy networks: Why and how to compare them across countries

    Open Access•Tuomas Ylä-Anttila, Antti Gronow et al.•ARTICLE•Energy Research & Social Science•2018•Cited by: 18•References: 20

    Why do some countries enact more ambitious climate change policies than others? Macro level economic and political structures, such as the economic weight of fossil fuel industries, play an important role in shaping these policies. So do the national science community and the national culture of science. But the process by which such macro-structural factors translate into political power and national climate change policies can be analyzed throu…

  • Media, politics, and climate change: The ASA Task Force report and beyond

    Mark C J Stoddart, Tuomas Ylä-Anttila et al.•ARTICLE•Environmental Sociology•2017

    This review essay focuses on the American Sociological Association (ASA) Task Force on Sociology and Global Climate Change final report, Climate Change and Society: Sociological Perspectives. We take the report as a jumping off point to provide an overview of research on climate change in the media sphere and in the political sphere. The political sphere and the media sphere are key sites for the politics of climate change, where the meaning of t…

  • Media Access and Political Efficacy in the Eco-politics of Climate Change: Canadian National News and Mediated Policy Networks

    Mark C J Stoddart, David B Tindall et al.•ARTICLE•Environmental Communication•2017

    We use a discourse network analysis approach to answer two questions about national news coverage of climate change policy debate in Canada during the period 2006–2010. First, what is the media visibility of actors relevant to policy development and advocacy on climate change? Second, given the political and economic context of climate policy-making in Canada, does greater or lesser media visibility reflect effectiveness in climate policy advocac…

    Weak ties are relationships between individuals marked by relatively low levels of intensity and emotional closeness. By contrast, strong ties are relationships that involve high levels of intensity and emotional closeness. The importance of weak ties to a variety of sociological phenomena has been most influentially articulated by Mark Granovetter in the most cited article in sociology, “The Strength of Weak Ties” (SWT). Granovetter argues that …

  • Differential Effects of Cognitive and Structural Social Capital on Empowerment in Two Community Ecotourism Projects in Ghana

    Ana-Elia Ramón-Hidalgo, Robert A Kozak et al.•ARTICLE•Society & Natural Resources•2017•Cited by: 4•References: 23

    Researchers have cautioned against both erasing conceptual complexities and homogenizing communities in community-based natural resources (CBNRM) studies and interventions. Social capital is seen as an enabler of CBNRM, yet we argue that differential access to social capital and associated outcomes deserves greater attention to avoid oversimplification of community interventions. Drawing upon literature on social networks and social capital, we a…

    Reducing global emissions will require a global cosmopolitan culture built from detailed attention to conflicting national climate change frames (interpretations) in media discourse. The authors analyze the global field of media climate change discourse using 17 diverse cases and 131 frames. They find four main conflicting dimensions of difference: validity of climate science, scale of ecological risk, scale of climate politics, and support for m…

  • Canadian News Media Coverage of Climate Change: Historical Trajectories, Dominant Frames, and International Comparisons

    We examine climate change news coverage from 1997 to 2010 in two Canadian national newspapers: the Globe and Mail and the National Post. The following questions guide our analysis: Why did the volume of climate change coverage rise and fall during the period? Focusing on the key period of 2007–2008, what kinds of issue categories, thematic frames, and rhetorical frames dominate the news discourse? Canadian news coverage of climate change is chara…

  • Environmentalists' Mediawork for Jumbo Pass and the Tobeatic Wilderness, Canada: Combining Text-Centred and Activist-Centred Approaches to News Media and Social Movements

    Mark C J Stoddart, Mark Cj Stoddart et al.•ARTICLE•Social movement studies•2015•Cited by: 2•References: 28

    For social movements, the mass media are a key means of reaching potential supporters, engaging public and political debate and reshaping cultural interpretations of relationships with the non-human environment. We examine how outdoor sport becomes the object of environmental movement mobilization and media claims-making in conflict over the Jumbo Pass ski resort, British Columbia, and Off-Highway Vehicle use in the Tobeatic Wilderness Area, Nova…

  • Canadian news media and the cultural dynamics of multilevel climate governance

    Mark C J Stoddart, David B Tindall•ARTICLE•Environmental Politics•2015•Cited by: 4•References: 49

    Links between national news outlets (Globe and Mail and National Post) and climate-change discourse are examined in order better to understand the cultural politics of Canadian involvement in climate governance. National news media use a narrow range of issue categories to interpret climate change to the public. Both news outlets also privilege national and international political spheres, with less attention to climate governance at the sub-nati…

  • Social Structure, Identities, and Values: A Network Approach to Understanding People's Relationships to Forests

    A social network approach is employed to examine the role that social capital plays in the relationships people have with forested landscapes and to identify the implications of these relationships to forest land-use planning. We argue that network-based processes lead to the development of social identity and to the formation of forest values. By linking the individual level of analysis to expressive outcomes, the relationship between network ra…
