Climate Change‐Conscious Methodologies
Changes in the frequency and intensity of climate‐related disasters are changing the social landscape for environmental research. Even in the most optimistic scenarios, the proportion of researchers forced to deal with the effects of climate change will continue to grow. Methodologies across disciplines need to be adaptable to meaningfully address the ethical and practical challenges of conducting research in an increasingly disaster‐prone world.…
Salmon imaginaries
Whose Authority Drives the Narrative
Climate change is facilitating the expansion of biorisks (invasive species, viruses, diseases) into new environments. While news media are a key site where expert authorities communicate about risks in the public sphere, there is limited understanding of how media narratives change as biorisks spread into new areas. We use mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) in Canada as a case study to examine how narratives in media coverage evolved …
Constructing the public in public perceptions research
Contemporary scientific and technological endeavours face public and political pressure to adopt open, transparent and democratically accountable practices of public engagement. Prior research has identified different ways that experts ‘imagine publics’ – as uninformed, as disengaged, as a risk to science, and as co-producers of knowledge – but there has yet to be a systematic exploration of how these views emerge, interact and evolve. This artic…
Should we adapt nature to climate change? Weighing the risks of selective breeding in Pacific salmon
This paper uses the case of genomics-assisted selective breeding in Pacific salmon hatcheries to investigate how people weigh the risks of adapting nature to changing climate conditions. Drawing on 105 interviews with people involved in salmon management, this study embeds risk assessments of selective breeding in the context of present interventions into salmon life cycles. While responses to novel technologies are frequently plotted along a sup…
Political values and socialization in environmental movements
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…

How "wild" are hatchery salmon? Conservation policy and the contested framing of nature in Canada and the United States
The idea of the Anthropocene presents a paradox for conservation: to restore and protect wild species and ecosystems, greater human intervention is required through efforts such as artificial propagation. This paradox is evident in efforts to conserve Pacific salmon. Salmon hatcheries produce millions of salmon to augment wild populations and sustain fishing industries, but emerging knowledge about salmon genomics has called into question the "wi…
