Exploring an Extended Theory of Planned Behavior to Motivate Intentions to Remove Anthropogenic Food Sources in Residential Areas
Anthropogenic food sources in residential areas, including unsecured trash, bird feeders, and fruit trees, can attract wildlife and increase negative human-wildlife interactions. While agencies recommend behaviors to reduce attractants, research on factors driving residents’ intention to comply remains limited. This study applies and extends the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) by testing core constructs (attitude, perceived behavioral control, a…
Materiality, Agency, and the Reciprocal Dynamic of Reflexive Consumption
Thrift shopping, or “thrifting,” has gained widespread popularity over the past 15+ years. Sociological inquiry into thrifting has linked the phenomenon to a wide‐ranging blend of conditions and factors that principally include economic necessity, resistance to economic, environmental, and labor injustices, and hedonism. Yet, how thrift shoppers come to engage thrifting as an agentic, identity‐forming process remains relatively neglected in the r…
The peripheralization of prosocial messaging in the local food movement
This article explores the visual and textual curation of local food in the popular media. Using a cross-case study design, I analyze the photographs and associated textual phrases for 662 posted made across three distinct edible Community (eC) social media pages throughout 2023. The theoretical domains of institutional logics and value narratives guide my exploration. Three themes are found to consistently characterize the visual curation of loca…
Conceptualizing community innovation
Forgotten are the locals
Opening the analytical imagination
Entrepreneurial community development and the everyday realities of existing enterprises
Entrepreneurship and innovation are key inputs to the revitalization and sustainability of rural communities and economies. While compelling, entrepreneurial community development models heavily favor new venture start-up activities and largely overlook the needs and potential of existing enterprises. Drawing on principles of everyday life sociology and organizational culture, we explored how a sample of Southeastern Arizona ranchers confront per…

Intergenerational family farm leadership, organizational innovativeness, and resiliency
Family farms are central to the American agricultural economy and vital inputs to the prosperity and sustainably of rural communities. Yet, the resiliency of these farms is threatened by uncertainties associated with intergenerational leadership succession. The current study used a set of theoretical constructs from Rogers’s (2003) Innovation Diffusion Model (centralization, formalization, interconnectedness, organizational slack, size) to guide …
Looking behind the label
The contributions of firm-specific branding strategies to neolocalism and relocalization agendas have been largely overlooked within the local development literature. This article explores the strategic nature and relevancy of firm-centric brand storytelling to localized entrepreneurship and local development through a qualitative single case study of an Arizona craft brewery. Data originated from a label catalog consisting of 137 unique designs …
Overcoming Episodic Political Uncertainties and Tensions
Episodes of political tension and extreme rhetoric make the economic and socio-political conditions of borderland regions uncertain and oftentimes contentious. Yet, there is a paucity of research on how much tension and rhetoric affect the formation and function of borderland conservation communities of practice (BCCsP). Accordingly, the current study provides a deeper understanding of the effects of political uncertainties and tensions on the co…
Human-wildlife conflict mitigation and the self-efficacy of wildlife professionals in non-formal education and outreach
Preventing human-wildlife conflict (HWC) constitutes a substantial challenge for wildlife agencies. The literature on HWC is primarily focused on public understanding of and perceptions toward HWC issues and on mitigation interventions, which often involve public education and outreach. Yet, the non-formal education and community outreach capacities of wildlife professionals remain relatively under-studied. This study develops new insights into t…
Rancher perceptions of and attitudes toward Mexican gray wolves
Many socio-political issues arise when predators, like the endangered Mexican gray wolf, are reintroduced into areas that are concurrently used by ranchers. There is a gap in understanding of how public dialogue convey and perpetuate the perceptions and attitudes agriculturalists hold toward predator reintroduction efforts. Our study explores how ranchers’ use of social media and interactive communication relate to this topic. Our analysis is gui…
From within the shadows of the everyday
Economic re-localization is widely viewed as a principal mechanism for bringing greater autonomy, democracy, justice, prosperity, and general wellness to communities. Entrepreneurial initiatives that are bounded to the localized scale are a fundamental element of the underlying localism movement. The current study uses a set of theoretical constructs pulled from everyday sociology (reflexivity, contextualism, interaction) to guide a qualitative e…
Inter-organizational dynamics and the ecology of localized entrepreneurship
In this paper, a set of ecological principles (actor-type, interaction-type, nestedness) that have been theoretically associated with organizational ecosystems guides a qualitative exploration of the ecology of localized entrepreneurial clusters (LECs). The focus of analysis is the Southern Arizona craft brewing sector (SACBS). The inter-organizational dynamic that characterizes the ecology of the SACBS is found to be based more on mutualism than…
The Jazziness of Local Food Practice Work
Local food systems (LFSs) are complex and diverse social structures. The processes that influence the formation and evolution of LFSs are obscure, relatively uncoordinated, and somewhat mysterious. This study develops a stronger understanding of such processes through a qualitative exploration of the influence of routine practice work at the organization level on the entrepreneurial development of two distinct LFSs in the Southwest region of the …
Wild greens knowledge and consumption
This qualitative, single case study explores the influence of the dominant food system (DFS) on the knowledge and consumption of three wild greens (amaranth, lambquarters, purslane) by 24 Latinxs living in Tucson, Arizona (AZ), USA. The three greens are each considered to be traditional Latinx foods. In addition to the natural occurrence of the wild greens, Tucson was selected as the study site due to its rich and diverse food tradition and deep …
What Is Local Food Entrepreneurship? Variations in the Commercially and Socially Oriented Features of Entrepreneurship in the Southeastern Arizona Local Food System
Entrepreneurial activities are sometimes framed as market‐based strategies that compromise the integrity of the movement against the global agrifood system. Other times, scholars have argued that entrepreneurship is a critical component of local food system viability. This study helps reconcile these conflicting views through a qualitative exploration of the variations in the commercially and socially oriented features of local food entrepreneurs…
Institutional entrepreneurship and the negotiation and blending of multiple logics in the Southern Arizona local food system

Socially Oriented Student Entrepreneurship
This paper presents two clarifying cases of socially oriented student entrepreneurship. The findings illuminate an overlooked organizational space located at the intersection of the public good and academic capitalist knowledge/learning regimes (Slaughter & Rhoades, 2004) that provides students with the entrepreneurial agency to create social change
