Patterns of belief and trust in climate change information
A crucial hurdle to addressing climate change is science denial. While research suggests that science denial is related to judgments individuals make about the credibility of information sources, less is known about how source credibility and characteristics of the individual interact to affect science denial. In the present study, we examined the extent to which individuals' belief in climate change claims and trust in the sources of these claim…
Institutional and network social support during Covid-19: A case study of one university’s students and their support-seeking behaviors
This case study of one university’s students and their support-seeking behaviors offers an initial explanation of what types of social support students sought during the pandemic and if their needs were met. This study fills a gap in the literature, as it addresses where students actually sought support during this time of crisis, and based on this analysis, we offer applications for how universities can be ready to support students even more eff…
Geographies of education: A journey
This paper provides a critical overview of scholarship on the geographies of education. The article explores some of the key roots, linguistic traditions, and conceptual underpinnings of what has become a burgeoning and diverse area of scholarship. It emphasises the different subdisciplinary areas to which research on geographies of education has contributed, including work on social reproduction, the relationship between education spaces and the…
Youth Shifting Identities, Moving Aspirations, Changing Social Norms, and Positive Uncertainty in Ethiopia and Nepal
This article explores uncertainty and aspiration in the everyday lives of marginalised youth in fragile and conflict-affected areas of Ethiopia and Nepal. The concept referred to as 'positive uncertainty' was developed through analysis of 300 qualitative case-study interviews with marginalised young people (15-25 years) across rural and urban research sites as part of the Youth Uncertainty Rights (YOUR) World Research (2016-2019). Six exemplary c…
Trapped bodies, moving minds: Uncertainty and migration among marginalised urban youth in Ethiopia
This paper from YOUR World Research highlights and explores the role of positive uncertainty in lives, strategies and transitions towards adulthood of marginalised children and youth in two urban locations in Ethiopia. Young men and women embraced notions of positive uncertainty, making journeys to street situations and internationally in search of more hopeful futures. While youth navigate uncertainty positively in the short term, the research s…
Layered and Linking Research Partnerships: Learning from Your World Research in Ethiopia and Nepal
This article draws on learning from the YOUR World Research project in Ethiopia and Nepal, which uses the socioecological Change‐scape framework to understand how participants in research need to be understood within a landscape of changing institutional, environmental, and political contexts. The article explores whether trustful relationships, ownership, and commitment can bring about more effective societal change through research. Through gro…

Children’s Participation in Global Contexts: Going Beyond Voice
Children's and young people’s right to participate has been increasingly acknowledged and taken up internationally, as expressed in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Yet much of this has focused on collecting children’s voices, rather than achieving change, and has met its limits. This book provides an analysis of children’s participation in formal, collective and action research processes in six different international settings. It o…

Moving beyond voice in children and young people’s participation
This paper introduces research that challenges decision-makers to listen to and act upon children and young people’s evidence. The data come from revisits, 10 years after research ended, to participatory action research processes in Nepal and the UK in which children and young people's (CYP) voices and opinions were surfaced for community decision makers. I sought to understand if and how children and youth input was valued and acted upon by adul…

Evaluating the health impacts of participation in Australian community arts groups
This study evaluates the impacts of three well-established community arts programmes in Victoria, Australia, on the mental health and well-being outcomes of participants typically from disadvantaged backgrounds during 2006-07. It employs a theoretical framework that reconciles evidence-based practice in health and the phenomenological nature of community arts practice. Self-determination theory (SDT) was used to do this with SDT-derived psychomet…
Evaluating community outcomes of participation in community arts: A case for civic dialogue
VicHealth's Community Arts Development Scheme (CADS) funded three community arts organizations to work with people from marginalized or disadvantaged communities, to provide opportunities for personal and community development through the arts. This article investigates how CADS engages the public in thinking about and discussing social issues and, more generally, the role of community arts practice in promoting civic dialogue. A mixed method app…
To Partition or Not to Partition Evaluative Judgments: Comparing Measures of Structural Ambivalence
Attitudinal ambivalence is one of the most widely studied structural properties in the attitudes literature. The current research compared two commonly used measures of structural ambivalence. Both measures separately assess the positive and negative components of ambivalence; however, one approach instructs participants to partition their oppositely valenced evaluative responses whereas the other does not. Using both experimental and nonexperime…
Identity, Sustainability, and Local Setting at U.S. Botanical Gardens
In the last decade, an increasing number of U.S. botanical gardens have adopted the concept of “sustainability” as an explicit element of their missions and practices. By reducing water, energy, and pesticide usage, these gardens seek to model environmental behavior that mitigates the destructive impact of human activities. However, botanical gardens are also complex organizations whose members have varying understandings of their organization’s …

When Callings Are Calling: Crafting Work and Leisure in Pursuit of Unanswered Occupational Callings
Scholars have identified benefits of viewing work as a calling, but little research has explored the notion that people are frequently unable to work in occupations that answer their callings. To develop propositions on how individuals experience and pursue unanswered callings, we conducted a qualitative study based on interviews with 31 employees across a variety of occupations. We distinguish between two types of unanswered callings—missed call…

What Is Organizational Imprinting? Cultural Entrepreneurship in the Founding of the Paris Opera
Organization theorists have long recognized that organizations take on elements from their environments in the course of being founded. This observation, articulated by Stinchcombe in 1965 and known today as the “organizational imprinting hypothesis,” is frequently cited but remains little understood. Advances in cultural sociology and entrepreneurship studies have provided tools for unpacking this process. The author draws on these tools to unde…

The Status of Identities: Racial Inclusion and Exclusion at West Coast Ports
Left leadership, organizers, and industrial organization have been associated with union strategies of racial inclusion, yet unions exhibiting these characteristics have not always been inclusive in practice. Why did some industrial unions with left leadership and organizers implement racial inclusion while others resisted? I answer this question through an incorporated comparative analysis of racial inclusion among longshore unions at two West C…

Physician and Clinical Integration Among Rural Hospitals
The pressures for closer alignment between physicians and hospitals in both rural and urban areas are increasing. This study empirically specifies independent dimensions of physician and clinical integration and compares the extent to which such activities are practiced between rural and urban hospitals and among rural hospitals in different organizational and market contexts. Results suggest that both rural and urban hospitals practice physician…
