Birds of many feathers? Examining perceptions among US birders following the American Ornithological Society's eponymous renaming decision
In 2023, the American Ornithological Society announced it will phase out the English eponymous (honorific) names of 152 bird species in the United States and Canada, some of which are named after historical figures with racist, genocidal, or otherwise violent histories that serve as reminders of ornithology's exclusive origins. Via mixed methods combining a national survey and in‐depth interviews, we (1) compare birders' pro‐environmental and pro…
Backfire
Since the 1940s, the United States Forest Service’s (USFS) national fire suppression efforts have been bolstered by a public-facing ad campaign led by the Ad Council, most notably through the iconic rise of Smokey Bear. The consequences of decades of strict fire suppression, promulgated and solidified by this highly successful campaign, have been ecologically disastrous, and especially detrimental for fire-dependent Indigenous communities and eco…
Dangerous pipelines, dangerous people
Drawing on theories of settler colonialism, colonial ecological violence, and media framing this article considers how media framing contributes to the production of colonial ecological violence. Focusing on the case of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) I examine how local media deploys frames of risk and security in order to minimize or invalidate Indigenous responses to ecological harms as well as to legitimate violence against those who resist…
Colonial America Today
The article systematically assesses U.S.-Native relations today and their historical foundations in light of a narrow, empirical definition of colonial empire. Examining three core elements of colonial empire—the formal impairment of sovereignty, the intensive practical impairment of sovereignty through practices of governance and administration, and the continuing otherness of the dominated and dominant groups—we compare contemporary U.S.-Native…
How Environmental Decline Restructures Indigenous Gender Practices
On the Klamath River in northern California, Karuk tribal fishermen traditionally provide salmon for food and ceremonies, yet the region has sustained serious environmental degradation in recent years. What happens to Karuk masculinity when there are no fish? Using interviews and public testimony, the authors examine how declining salmon runs affect the gender identities and practices of Karuk fishermen. Gendered practices associated with fishing…
