Professional learning for out-of-field mathematics teachers: Priorities and perspectives from teachers and school leaders
Teacher shortages in Australia have led to a growing number of out-of-field (OOF) teachers delivering mathematics in secondary schools, raising concerns about the quality of instruction. This study investigates the professional learning priorities for OOF mathematics teachers from the perspectives of Queensland school leaders and teachers themselves. Drawing on conceptualisations of teacher knowledge, the research employed a two-phase design: int…
Identifying viable chronic wasting disease surveillance and management actions using support effectiveness analysis
Hunters are the primary actors in chronic wasting disease (CWD) surveillance and management, but research assessing hunter acceptability of CWD mitigation techniques has focused almost exclusively on areas where the disease has been detected. Further, most studies use unidimensional measures of support or perceived effectiveness that do not tell the full story of hunters’ perceptions toward disease surveillance and management actions. Thus, our s…
Gauging meat processors’ and taxidermists’ chronic wasting disease information needs in Georgia, USA using importance-information analysis
Mitigating the impacts of chronic wasting disease (CWD) requires timely management intervention and ongoing cooperation between multiple stakeholders, especially meat processors and taxidermists, as these partners have the skill and access to provide CWD samples. While integral partners for the detection of CWD, little research has assessed their perspectives on disease management and communication. Thus, we distributed a mail-based survey to mea…
Knowledge as justice: Examining the for-s, in-s, and of-s of an antibias, anti-racist teacher inquiry group
This article examines how five white elementary educators learned to teach for justice in a yearlong inquiry community committed to antibias, antiracist (ABAR) pedagogy. Through inductive and deductive analyses of inquiry group sessions, semi-structured interviews, and class observations, the authors identify the material and ideological dimensions that shaped and constrained teachers’ approaches to justice-oriented work in a pre-K–8 Catholic Sch…

Making Justice‐Oriented Futures From a Censored Past: Reanimating the Racio‐Religious Specters Haunting a Research–Practice Partnership in English Language Arts
This article explores how eight white teachers engaging in a two‐year anti‐bias, antiracist research–practice partnership with the aims of forwarding justice‐oriented English language arts came to name, recognize, and respond to curricular censorship and community controversy at their pre‐K–8 Catholic school in the Northeastern United States. Braiding theories of hauntology with conceptualizations of white Christian nationalism, we interrogated h…

Impacts of the US CDC recommendation on human papillomavirus vaccine uptake, 2010–2015
Objectives: As one type of vaccine policy, the effectiveness and spillover effects of the US CDC vaccine recommendations are inadequately evaluated. This study aims to fully evaluate its impacts on male adults, in addition to children, using better data. Design: A before-after study design to examine the CDC's 2011 HPV vaccine recommendation for men aged 11-21. Data analysis: Individual-level data included the 2010-2015 US National Health Intervi…
Ecological Dominance Orientation as a predictor of Wildlife Value Orientations and Support for Lethal Wildlife Management
While many environmental psychologists have relied on the Wildlife Value Orientations (WVOs) scale to understand the individual patterns in cognitions and behaviors related to wildlife, limits in scope constrain its application across other topics. Conversely, Ecological Dominance Orientation (EDO), defined as preference to maintain an anthropocentric arrangement between humans and the natural environment, has demonstrated applicability across a …
Self-determination theory as an alternate conceptual foundation for motivation in natural resource research
Motivation is a topic that receives substantial interest across the social sciences. However, in the human dimensions of natural resource literature, scholars have primarily treated motivation as a construct narrowly defined by the individual's desired goal state. In contrast, self-determination theory (SDT) suggests that multiple forms of motivation can influence levels of self-determination, integration of identities, and subsequent behavioral …

Laugh Lines: Humor, Genre, and Political Critique in Late Twentieth-Century American Poetry
Carrie Conners’s Laugh Lines: Humor, Genre, and Political Critique in Late Twentieth-Century American Poetry is a delight to read. She argues that while “humorous social and political critique” (4) of contemporary American poetry has been the subject of several studies, specifying Ronald Wallace’s God Be with the Clown: Humor in American Poetry and Calista McRae’s Lyric as Comedy: The Poetics of Abjection in Postwar America, there is much still t…
The role of behavior accessibility and individual risk perceptions in chronic wasting disease risk mitigation behaviors among Minnesota deer hunters
Human activities, including the movement of harvested cervids, pose significant risks for spreading chronic wasting disease (CWD) to new locations. This study used hierarchical agglomerative clustering to compare Minnesota, USA hunters’ carcass disposal habits and likelihood of CWD testing as a function of individual differences in risk perceptions and hunting area. We utilized a survey of Minnesota hunters conducted during Spring 2020 that inclu…
Application of the Heuristic-Systematic Model to Chronic wasting Disease Risk perceptions
The heuristic-systematic model (HSM) suggests that when presented with a choice, individuals will use either heuristic or systematic processing modes to arrive at a judgment. In this paper, we evaluate the HSM model in the context of hunter perceptions toward chronic wasting disease (CWD), a neurological disease found in members of the family Cervidae that threatens the health of cervid populations and the flow of benefits humans derive from them…
Centering culture in the treatment of opioid use disorder with American Indian and Alaska Native Communities: Contributions from a National Collaborative Board
American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities are disproportionally impacted by the opioid overdose epidemic. There remains a dearth of research evaluating methods for effectively implementing treatments for opioid use disorder (OUD) within these communities. We describe proceedings from a 2‐day Collaborative Board (CB) meeting tasked with developing an implementation intervention for AI/AN clinical programs to improve the delivery of medicat…
A Self-Determination Approach to Understanding Leisure Identity Salience among Lapsed Hunters
This study extended a framework based on self-determination theory (SDT) and leisure constraints to study identity salience in lapsed hunters. Self-determination theory suggests that multiple forms of motivation influence levels of self-determination and addresses how social-contextual factors affect satisfaction of needs. Data were drawn from a survey of recently lapsed hunters in Minnesota, United States conducted during the winter of 2021 (N =…

Inside Comedy: The Soul, Wit, and Bite of Comedy and Comedians of the Last Five Decades
The subtitle of David Steinberg’s Inside Comedy: The Soul, Wit, and Bite of Comedy and Comedians of the Last Five Decades is wonderfully apt. Steinberg has been a comedian for over fifty years and continues his work today with not only this book but also his TV show Inside Comedy. He was taught by an older generation of comedians, but because of his long career he has influenced a younger one, some members of whom have shown him the same reverenc…
A replication of proximity to chronic wasting disease, perceived risk, and social trust in managing agency between hunters in Minnesota and Illinois
The social, ecological, and institutional context is important for understanding individuals’ perceptions of risk (Slovic, 1987) and their trust in agencies tasked with risk management (Cvetkovich
