Engaging publics on gene editing of farm animals: Evidence from the online gray literature
Researchers are using diverse strategies to engage publics on what they think about emerging biotechnologies in agriculture, like gene editing applications for farm animals.

Postwar play and petroleum: Tourism and energy abundance in Rocky Mountain National Park
Few historians have focused on the centrality of petroleum to tourism in the post-Second World War United States. We argue that oil, as a source of motive power that facilitated a certain style of travel and consumption, has been central to the cultural and physical construction of tourist spaces, especially national parks. We use Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) as our case study, analysing automobile tourism, urbanisation, and globalised mas…
Geophysical Agency in the Anthropocene: Engineering a Road and River to Rocky Mountain National Park
Proponents of the Anthropocene epoch posit that human activities now powerfully influence the Earth’s governing systems. Many environmental scholars have offered alternative concepts for this new geologic epoch to challenge its outward anthropocentrism and tendency to flatten the diversity of the world’s people into a single planetary humanity. But in doing so, these critiques distort a more distributive and systemic understanding of agency. This…

The Wild West: The Mythical Cowboy and Social Theory
Ecology, equality and class
Perhaps it is time, or way past time, that we started thinking about equality and justice as issues of ecological relations rather than strictly as issues of economic relations. Put another way, perhaps we should begin thinking about inequality and injustice as issues of environmental degradation as well as issues of class structure. Our modern social ideas have focused on structural, class inequality, first as feudal class inequalities, and late…
