Cultivating reciprocity and supporting Indigenous lifeways through the cultural transformation of natural resource management in North America
Recent decades have seen increasing calls for implementing Indigenous Knowledges (IK) in natural resource management (NRM). However, efforts have been limited by the cultural incommensurabilities between (1) NRM institutions, which are rooted in worldviews that prioritize extraction for dominant cultures and assume dominance over nature and (2) Indigenous worldviews that prioritize kincentric reciprocity with the environment. This manuscript addr…
Beyond growth: Reshaping fisheries for a wellbeing economy
Contemporary fisheries have been shaped by a paradigm of perpetual growth, characterized by increasing global production and consumption. While this growth has driven economic benefits and technological progress, it has jeopardized the sustainability of marine ecosystems, with implications for the long-term livelihoods and wellbeing of fishers, consumers and resource dependent coastal populations worldwide. This paper advocates for a shift beyond…
Centering community values in marine planning
Centering community values in conservation decision-making can mitigate harm to social-ecological systems caused by the climate, biodiversity, and social justice crises. However, it can be unclear how to weave these values into complicated processes, such as marine spatial planning (MSP), that have historically favoured western and biophysical knowledge and can perpetuate inequitable and status-quo power dynamics. Here, we contribute a community-…

The Ambivalence of Alexander Berkman’s Anti-Prison Anarchism
Alexander Berkman’s 1912 Prison Memoirs of an Anarchist is a significant book in the development of American anti-prison politics, not despite, but because of its ambivalent approach to prisons. I trace through Berkman’s book and archive an unresolved tension between two approaches to the prison: advocacy for political prisoners, whereby the prison is a state tool for suppressing radical ideas, and advocacy against the politics of prisons, whereb…
George Jackson’s Perfect Disorder
The goal of this essay is to situate the radical George Jackson’s views on violence within his political thought and practice, with particular attention to his position as an incarcerated witness indicted by a legal system he would not recognize. The first section sketches Jackson’s analysis of what he called a “captive society”: a fascist global and American arrangement that classifies and criminalizes black, brown, and poor life. In the second …
The State was Patiently Waiting for Me to Die: Life without the Possibility of Parole as Punishment
Despite its growing use over past decades, there has been relatively little public or scholarly discussion of life sentences that deny the possibility of parole. This essay outlines the labyrinthine legal and political developments that have rendered life imprisonment difficult to address—including the intertwined histories of the death penalty and civil death—and draws upon the life writing of those serving life to theorize a more distinct under…
Unwillingness and Imagination in Frederick Douglass'sThe Heroic Slave
Frederick Douglass testified often to his experiences and the injustice of slavery. Yet how did he explain those who were unmoved, and what did he envision as compelling them to act? I turn toThe Heroic Slaveto investigate Douglass on white unwillingness. A fictional account of the factual mutiny of the enslaved Madison Washington in 1841, Douglass's novella narrates Washington's emancipation through the perspectives of a white northerner and sou…
Emma Goldman and the Autobiography of the People
Anarcha-feminist Emma Goldman wrote her 1931 autobiography to evaluate her early politics and American radicalism at the turn of the century. I find in Living My Life two approaches to antiauthoritarian action: Adversarial politics seeks to emancipate the masses by contesting the agents of state, market, or patriarchy, but it falters when radicals act for those with whom they share few experiences. Empathetic politics builds that needed solidarit…
To Narrate and Denounce: Frederick Douglass and the Politics of Personal Narrative
What political problem can autobiography solve? This article examines the politics of Frederick Douglass’s antebellum personal narratives: his 1845 slave narrative, the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, and his 1855 autobiography, My Bondage and My Freedom, written at the opposite ends of Douglass’s transition from the abolitionist politics of William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips to Douglass’s defense of polit…

A multilevel analysis of procedural justice context
Using a multilevel framework, we hypothesized that both employee perceptions of procedural justice and a work unit level measure of procedural justice context would be associated with employee reports of job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Three hundred and twenty-three employees from 53 branches of a financial services organization were used to test this hypothesis. Hierarchical linear modeling analyses revealed that procedural justi…
Social exchange in organizations: Perceived organizational support, leader–member exchange, and employee reciprocity.
Social exchange (P. Blau, 1964) and the norm of reciprocity (A. W. Gouldner, 1960) have been used to explain the relationship of perceived organizational support and leader-member exchange with employee attitudes and behavior. Recent empirical research suggests that individuals engage in different reciprocation efforts depending on the exchange partner (e.g., B. L. McNeely & B. M. Meglino, 1994). The purpose of the present study was to further in…
Presence of drug screening and employee assistance programs: Exclusive and inclusive human resource management practices
Drug screening and employee assistance programs (EAPs) are human resource management practices for addressing substance abuse among employees. The two practices reflect different human resource management strategies and lead to different outcomes for employees and applicants. Drug screening is designed to exclude drug users from the workplace whereas EAPs offer them ‘rehabilitation’. Characteristics of worksites and their surrounding labor market…
The effects of tolerance for ambiguity on feedback‐seeking behaviour
In an article that appeared in this Journal in 1985, Ashford & Cummings found that tolerance for ambiguity (TA) moderated the relationship between feedback‐seeking behaviours (FSB) and ambiguity or uncertainty about one's role or outcome contingencies. The authors concluded that, in uncertain situations, individuals who are low in TA will consider feedback an especially valuable resource, and will engage in higher levels of FSB. The aim of this a…
Evaluation of goodness-of-fit indices for structural equation models
Evaluation of goodness-of-fit indices for structural equation models
Discusses how current goodness-of-fit indices fail to assess parsimony and hence disconfirmability of a model and are insensitive to misspecifications of causal relations (a) among latent variables when measurement model with many indicators is correct and (b) when causal relations corresponding to free parameters expected to be nonzero turn out to be zero or near zero. A discussion of philosophy of parsimony elucidates relations of parsimony to …
