Frames of agency in a school with poor indoor-air quality
Problems with schools' indoor-air quality are common, and they can cause health problems to adolescents. However, no previous research has examined how adolescents make sense of such contaminated socio-material environments or what kinds of agency those environments afford. Taking an ecological psychology perspective informed by frame analysis, we analysed longitudinal focus group interviews with adolescents in a Finnish school with longstanding …
Learning to relocalize
We explore purposive institutional change and the role of institutional entrepreneurs in initiating and driving relational learning processes.Supplementing new institutionalist theory with an institutional learning lens and using a longitudinal set of rich qualitative interview and observation data, we investigate how institutional entrepreneurs engage in transformational work to effectuate change in dominant institutional logics, thus transformi…
Sociocultural affordances and enactment of agency
This article argues that when attempting to extend the concept of affordances to encompass action possibilities characteristic of our sociocultural environments, a transactionally informed relational perspective—along the lines formulated by classical pragmatist thinkers (especially Dewey and Bentley but also Peirce and Mead)—proves useful. A transactional perspective helps to reveal the intimate conceptual connections between sociocultural affor…
The legitimacy of result-oriented and action-oriented agri-environmental schemes
Farmers’ and citizens’ perceptions of the legitimacy of the current action-oriented and the proposed result-oriented agri-environmental schemes (AES) are poorly known. To help fill this gap, this study analysed such perceptions in the context of Finnish citizens and farmers. Hypotheses on legitimacy, ecosystem service perceptions and environmental values were developed and empirically tested with nationwide surveys of Finnish citizens (n = 1,744)…

Neoliberal governance and ‘responsibilization’ of agents
The ‘governmentality’ approach has been influential in analyzing how neoliberal governance transfers responsibility to individual agents through an ‘appeal of freedom’ mechanism. This productive conceptualization of power has generated a solid body of research on the workings of (neo)liberal governance and contemporary Western capitalism. However, such research has largely ignored a complementary mechanism characteristic of situations where ‘appe…
Making sense of multilevel governance and governance coordination in Brazil
Brazil is an example of a challenging governance context par excellence: continental size, multi-levelled governance structures and diverse administrative cultures meet with ambitious, large-scale policy needs and objectives. The multilevel governance approach is applied here to analyse implementation and governance coordination of the Bolsa Verde Programme (BVP). Through a close reading of the narratives told by three programme officials – and z…
Co-constructing a virtuous ingroup attitude? Evaluation of new business activities in a group interview of farmers
Acts of evaluation and their meaning-making functions have been approached from a variety of perspectives, under a range of disciplines and conceptualizations. In the field of social psychology, for example, the concept of attitude is predominantly interpreted as fairly stable, enduring inner dispositions of the individual. However, when the perspective is shifted to encompass the communicative and relational aspects wherein evaluative acts are e…
