  • “In Montana, you're only a week away from a drought”: Ranchers’ perspectives on flood irrigation and beaver mimicry as drought mitigation strategies

    Open AccessMegan A Moore, James McevoyARTICLERangelands2022

    The concept of natural water storage has gained traction as an alternative to traditional dams that can potentially mitigate the impacts of changing precipitation patterns by slowing runoff and increasing aquifer recharge. We investigated the barriers and opportunities for two natural water storage practices, flood irrigation and beaver mimicry. We interviewed 8 amenity and 14 traditional ranchers in the Red Rock Watershed in southwest Montana. W…

  • Cultural Plurality and Inculturation: Foundations for Intercultural Dialogue

    Open AccessJames Mcevoy, James Gerard McEvoyARTICLEIrish Theological Quarterly2022

    This article investigates the significance of cultural plurality for social and ecclesial life in a post-imperial age. It argues for a view of culture that recognizes and accommodates the diversity of each culture, conceives of culture in terms of social imaginaries and practices, and incorporates a nuanced view of intercultural dialogue. It begins with a précis of Stuart Hall’s account of culture, then examines at length the conceptions of cultu…

  • Narrative Risk Communication as a Lingua Franca for Environmental Hazard Preparation

    Eric D Raile, Elizabeth A Shanahan et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Communication2022

    Incorporating narrative elements into risk communication may encourage preparation for environmental hazards in ways that scientific language alone does not. We integrate narrative theory, narrative persuasion, and risk theories into a Narrative Risk Communication Framework and then assess the effectiveness of character selection as a narrative mechanism in scientific risk communication as compared to conventional science messaging alone. We util…

  • Persuasion with Precision: Using Natural Language Processing to Improve Instrument Fidelity for Risk Communication Experimental Treatments

    Open AccessAnn Marie Reinhold, Eric D Raile et al.ARTICLEJournal of Mixed Methods Research2022Cited by: 2References: 10

    Instrument fidelity in message testing research hinges upon how precisely messages operationalize treatment conditions. However, numerous message-testing studies have unmitigated threats to validity and reliability because no established procedures exist to guide construction of message treatments. Their construction typically occurs in a black box, resulting in suspect inferential conclusions about treatment effects. Because a mixed methods appr…

  • Murky waters: Divergent Ways Scientists, Practitioners, and Landowners Evaluate Beaver Mimicry

    Open AccessTori Pfaeffle, Megan A Moore et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2022

    Beaver mimicry is a fast-growing conservation technique to restore streams and manage water that is gaining popularity within the natural resource management community because of a wide variety of claimed socio-environmental benefits. Despite a growing number of projects, many questions and concerns about beaver mimicry remain. This study draws on qualitative data from 49 interviews with scientists, practitioners, and landowners, to explore the q…

  • Integrating Ecological Impacts: Perspectives on Drought in the Upper Missouri Headwaters, Montana, United States

    Open AccessAmanda E Cravens, James Mcevoy et al.ARTICLEWeather, Climate, and Society2021

    Drought is a complex challenge experienced in specific locations through diverse impacts, including ecological impacts. Different professionals involved in drought preparedness and response approach the problem from different points of view, which means they may or may not recognize ecological impacts. This study examines the extent to which interviewees perceive ecological drought in the Upper Missouri Headwaters basin in southwestern Montana. T…

  • Thinking Through Levees: How Political Agency Extends Beyond the Human Mind

    Nicolas T Bergmann, James Mcevoy et al.ARTICLEAnnals of the American…2020Cited by: 1References: 51

    Emerging new materialism scholarship provides an exciting theoretical space not only for challenging traditional conceptions of human agency but also for rethinking the role of the material world in shaping political outcomes. Although a wildly diverse intellectual movement, this scholarship shares the common goal of widening traditional understandings of agency to include nonhuman objects. This article adopts insights from cognitive science to e…

  • Bounded Stories

    Open AccessElizabeth A Shanahan, Eric D Raile et al.ARTICLEPolicy Studies Journal2018Cited by: 25References: 62

    Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) and framing scholars share an interest in how the construction of policy arguments influences opinions and policy decisions. However, conceptual clarification is needed. This study advances the NPF by clarifying the meaning and function of frames and narrative, as well as their respective roles in creating policy realities. We explore sociological and psychological roots of framing scholarship and map these onto N…

  • Defending dissensus: Participatory governance and the politics of water measurement in Montana's Yellowstone River Basin

    Matthew B Anderson, Matthew Anderson et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Politics2016Cited by: 3References: 53

    The role of a particular aspect of collaboration, dissensus, in stimulating critical reconsideration of ‘prior appropriation’, a historically hegemonic condition related to water rights in the western United States, is examined via a collaborative planning effort in Montana. Consensual support for a water-use measuring proposal was undermined by strong libertarian resistance to governmental regulation, and an unwavering embrace of the status quo.…

  • Water Security and Adaptive Management in the Arid Americas

    Christopher A Scott, Francisco J Meza et al.ARTICLEAnnals of the Association of…2013References: 32

    Societal use of freshwater, ecosystems’ dependence on water, and hydroclimatic processes interact dynamically. Changes in any of these subsystems can cause unpredictable feedback, resulting in water insecurity for humans and ecosystems. By drawing on resilience theory, we extend current productive–destructive framings of water security to better address societal–ecosystem–hydroclimatic (SEH) interactions, dynamics, and uncertainties that drive in…

  • Gendered Mobility and Morality in a South-Eastern Mexican Community: Impacts of Male Labour Migration on the Women Left Behind

    James Mcevoy, Jamie Mcevoy et al.ARTICLEMobilities2012Cited by: 20References: 34

    Based on research conducted in a migrant-sending community in south-eastern Mexico, we find that male out-migration has forced women to take on labour tasks that are associated with new spatial and mobility patterns. While these patterns have potential for increased empowerment for women, they also call the women’s morality into question, resulting in a policing of the women’s behaviour, and a simultaneous restriction of their mobility, by themse…

  • Labour Migration and Gendered Agricultural Relations: The Feminization of Agriculture in the Ejidal Sector of Calakmul, Mexico

    Open AccessC Radel, B Schmook et al.ARTICLEJournal of Agrarian Change2012Cited by: 16References: 50

    We examine the nature of the 'feminization of agriculture' in the semi-subsistence, peasant production sector of southeastern Mexico, as associated with male labour out-migration. Presenting findings from empirical work with smallholder producers, we discuss the impact of men's migration to the United States on women's participation in agriculture and gendered relations of agricultural production. In 2007, we conducted a survey of 155 semi-subsis…

  • Adapting Across Boundaries: Climate Change, Social Learning, and Resilience in the U.S.–Mexico Border Region

    Margaret Wilder, Margaret O Wilder et al.ARTICLEAnnals of the Association of…2010Cited by: 4References: 24

    The spatial and human dimensions of climate change are brought into relief at international borders where climate change poses particular challenges. This article explores “double exposure” to climatic and globalization processes for the U.S.–Mexico border region, where rapid urbanization, industrialization, and agricultural intensification result in vulnerability to water scarcity as the primary climate change concern. For portions of the wester…

  • Robert Grosseteste

    James McevoyBOOKRobert Grosseteste (Great…2000

    In this book, James McEvoy provides a brief, accessible introduction to the thought of Robert Grosseteste (c.1168-1253). Grosseteste was the initiator of the English scientific tradition, one of the first chancellors of Oxford University, and a famous teacher and commentator on the newly discovered works of Aristotle. Despite his importance, very little of his work is available in English. McEvoy translates into English brief passages from Grosse…
