Cultures in the laboratory
Public engagement on rapidly advancing gene-editing technologies requires attention not merely to science and economics, but also to culture. In focusing on the similarities and differences between Indigenous and non-Indigenous perspectives on new and emerging genetic technologies, this article reports on a national survey in Aotearoa New Zealand among a stratified random sample of an equal number of Māori and non-Māori participants. Identifying …
The cultural politics of climate change adaptation
A huge number of climate change adaptation projects are underway to manage risk and minimise vulnerability for communities and businesses. Yet, adaptation processes are often ineffective because of deeply entrenched structures of power and different value systems leading to conflicting priorities for action. This paper draws on the notion of cultural politics to understand climate change adaptation in the tourism sector of Aotearoa New Zealand, a…
Centering Culture in Public Engagement on Climate Change
Much of the communication efforts on climate change has focused on disseminating scientific projections of climate change to galvanize people into responding to the physical, natural, and biological changes being wrought on the planet by human actions. Yet, this dominant approach of public engagement has been limited because groups of people experience climate change in different ways and have very different approaches to respond to its impacts a…
Sustainable citizenship as a methodology for engagement
Running for Elected Office
Elections are a central feature of the U.S. system of government. Therefore, it is important that undergraduates, especially political science majors, acquire a substantive understanding of the electoral process. To help students gain this understanding, we have developed a simulation through which undergraduates gain firsthand knowledge of the campaign process. In this simulation, students assume the roles of candidates, staffers, or journalists…
Alternative Views of Crime
A potential policy problem based on an actual study of prisons and recidivism rates was presented to 47 Colorado legislators during a taped interview that was later transcribed. Men and women in this study conceptualized the origins of and solutions to crime differently. These differences can be understood in terms of gendered socialization, experiences and opportunities in western societies. Women tended to see criminals as people interacting wi…
Power and Influence in State Legislative Policymaking
There is an implicit assumption behind advocating for more minorities or women in elected office, namely, that these officials will bring a new power and influence to their underrepresented groups. However, for women, this idealized viewpoint ignores the social dynamics that subordinate women's words and actions even in "well-balanced" male and female group interactions. Using transcribed verbatim transcripts of 12 state legislative committee hea…
Enhancing Citizen Participation
Even though a citizen participation component is included in nearly every major local government planning and policy initiative, most citizen participation techniques have been judged to be less than adequate tools for informing policy makers about the people's will. Recently, having planners or policy analysts work closely with long-standing citizen panels composed of a randomly selected sample of community members has been proposed as one appro…
Uncovering the Political Impacts of Gender
TU YNDERSTANDING how women's lives shape their political attitudes and affect their policy orientations remains a significant challenge for today's social science. The different social experiences of women and men appear to affect not only individuals (Chodorow 1974; Weitzman 1975; Dinnerstein 1978; Brooks-Gunn and Matthews 1979; Gilligan 1982) but also institutions, through the design of hierarchical structures and through the application of par…
