Surviving Dictatorship
The Intention Was Good”
The introduction of public participation into land and resource management planning in the Canadian province of British Columbia represents a unique application of alternative dispute resolution theory. Portentous in its scope and inclusivity, this case provides an opportunity to evaluate large-scale consensus decision-making processes within natural resources planning and management. Qualitative analysis of in-depth interviews, conducted from Se…
The Intention Was Good
Doing Time as an Act of Survival
As it is created by inmates in a county jail, time is a remarkably malleable phenomenon. Inmates must alter the meaning of hour, day, month, and year for self-preservation and to maintain social stability, whether they serve sentences that are long or short. They control time through a host of cognitive feats, including ignoring diurnal cycles by rolling entire weeks into single days, and through actions and activities that make time pass more qu…
Good Faith, Bad Ethics
It's the little things that bring back my 159 days in jail. A mention on the television news of a Talk of how fair our judicial system is and how soft our prisons have become. Even images of motorcycle gang members. And, of all things, our utility ladder at home. I spent more than five months in jail after refusing to answer some of the questions that were propounded to me by prosecutors running a federal grand jury. My recalcitrance was based on…

Who or What is in Control Here? Understanding the Social Context of Salmon Biology
Increasingly, those examining social-environment interactions debate whether nature is ''socially constructed.'' Realists argue that science yields a relatively complete and true picture of the environment, while idealists assert that science produces nature and does not discover it. A middle ground is possible wherein ecological science conveys its best understanding of nature's contents within a social context where the influences of powerful, …
What do wolves mean? Conflicting social constructions of Canis lupus in “bordertown”
Meanings are an indispensable part of all human societies, yet when social controversies arise, meanings often lose their shared, commonly understood characteristics. This is exhibited in the substantial variety of meanings imbued to wolves (Canis lupus) by social groups in communities bordering Yellowstone National Park, where wolves were reintroduced beginning in 1995. Residents of the region give a range of meanings to the wolves, including sy…
Socially Constructing Pacific Salmon
What does "nature" mean? This general question, central to the social construction of nature, is addressed here by examining one of nature's particulars, Pacific salmon, and by looking at how one group of people, salmon biologists, imbue the fish with meaning. Based upon historical, comparative, and qualitative data, it appears that nature is socially constructed through both cognitive and physical processes. "Salmon"- and indirectly nature - eme…

Doing Research on Sensitive Topics
No) Trial (But) Tribulations
The author, a Ph.D. candidate in sociology, recently was jailed for 159 days after refusing to reveal the content of confidential research interviews to a federal grand jury that was investigating vandalism by an animal rights group. The case makes clear that social science researchers who gather original data, in general, and ethnographers, in particular, have little legal protection against compelled testimony or seizure of their data. For thei…
