Beyond Balance
Citizen science (CS) is often characterized as involving inherent trade-offs between scientific validity and public engagement. While existing literature has documented these competing imperatives, less is known about the concrete organizational mechanisms that enable their coexistence. Based on ethnographic fieldwork at the Israel Center for Citizen Science (ICCS), this article examines how hybrid knowledge production is sustained not by resolvi…
Have We Ever Been Natural? Rethinking Nature Conservation in the Anthropocene
The Anthropocene challenges the premise of separate natural and human spheres that underlies the human/nature dualism in conservation. Using a conceptual analysis of proposed Anthropocene starting points (golden spikes), we argue that this distinction arises from historical conceptions that produced what we term an “exhibitionary order of nature”—the 18th-19th century practices of collecting, cataloging, and displaying nature that established bas…
Strange birds of a feather
This paper examines the complex relationships between humans and invasive species through an ethnographic study of the Common Myna ( Acridotheres tristis ) in Israel. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork at the Israel Center for Citizen Science, interviews with birdwatchers, and analysis of public discourse, I explore how the myna has become embedded in Israeli society through three distinct but interrelated representations: as an invasive threat, a…
Fair data, fair data
This study examines how citizen science projects negotiate the meanings and practices of FAIR data principles (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability) within information infrastructures. Through ethnographic fieldwork at the Israel Center for Citizen Science, I explore how FAIR principles function both as standardized information management practices and as societal values related to data-ownership and accessibility. This f…
A Rich Person’s Problem? Socio-Ecological Analysis of Human-Wild Boar Conflict Distribution in an Urban Setting
Our study presents a comprehensive method for measuring the distribution of urban wildlife and human-wildlife conflicts based on citizen reports. We investigate the ecological and social factors affecting the distribution of synurbic wild boars ( Sus scrofa ) and related human-wildlife conflicts within Haifa, northern Israel. Using Maximum Entropy (Maxent) species distribution modeling, we analyzed 2,921 citizen reports of wild boar sightings col…
Purge the Evil From Your Midst
This article explores cancel culture as a material endeavor on the ground. We draw on ethnographic tools to call attention to formative material dimensions of canceling and employ the conceptual lens of material culture to analyze rationales and practices around the canceling of objects. The case study concerns how ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israel manage allegations of sexual abuse against a beloved author by engaging in a myriad of material-canceli…
