  • Critical reflections on the process of interdisciplinary building science research

    Open AccessGarrett T Morgan, Marianne F Touchie et al.ARTICLEBuildings and Cities2026

    Interdisciplinary building science research has emerged as a promising approach to gaining more holistic understandings of the ways in which buildings perform and are experienced by their inhabitants. The problem is that despite a desire for interdisciplinary approaches, there remains a disconnect between those trained in technical studies and those whose fields are grounded in community-based or participatory efforts. Despite its adoption in res…

  • A Poetics of William Stafford's ‘With Kit, Age 7, At the Beach’

    John RobinsonARTICLECritical Survey2025

    This article is an application of concepts to the reading of poetry borrowed from Jonathan Culler's Structuralist Poetics: Structuralism, Linguistics and the Study of Literature (Cornell University Press, 1975). I also use Roland Barthes’ language codes; hermeneutic, semantic, symbolic, actional and cultural-referential demonstrated in his well-known text S/Z , with slight modifications for their application as well. The discourse advocated by Cu…

  • Transformational climate actions by cities

    Open AccessKimberley R Slater, John RobinsonARTICLEBuildings and Cities2023Referências: 2

    Highlights With their predominantly coastal geographies, rapidly growing populations, and emissions-intensive activities, cities are highly vulnerable and major contributors to climate change. Their role as cultural centers, and commerce and innovation hubs, means they are also promising sources of solutions. Taken together, these factors demand a closer examination of the progress and solutions that cities are making to mitigate climate change a…

  • Do Advisories, Warnings, or Color Coding Matter to Risk Perception and Precautionary Decisions

    Open AccessGala Gulacsik, Susan Joslyn et al.ARTICLEWeather, Climate, and Society2022

    There are lingering questions about the effectiveness of the watch, warning, and advisory system (WWA) used to convey weather threats in the United States. Recently there has been a shift toward alternative communication strategies such as the impact-based forecast. The study reported here compared users’ interpretation of a color-coded impact-based prototype designed for email briefings, to a legacy WWA format. Participants, including emergency …

  • Communicating Uncertainty Information in a Dynamic Decision Environment

    Gala Gulacsik, Susan Joslyn et al.ARTICLEWeather, Climate, and Society2022

    The likelihood of threatening events is often simplified for members of the public and presented as risk categories such as the “watches” and “warnings” currently issued by National Weather Service in the United States. However, research (e.g., Joslyn and LeClerc) suggests that explicit numeric uncertainty information—for example, 30%—improves people’s understanding as well as their decisions. Whether this benefit extends to dynamic situations in…

  • Developing an outcomes-based approach to achieving Target 3 of the Global Biodiversity Framework

    Open AccessNicole Dudley, Nigel Dudley et al.ARTICLEPARKS2022

    The draft Global Biodiversity Framework proposes to increase protected areas and OECMs to at least 30 per cent of land and ocean by 2030 (30x30). Such areas are central to conservation, but only if effectively managed and equitably governed. In practice, governments often recognise areas that do not achieve successful outcomes or respect human rights and fail to recognise other effective governance systems. We argue that protected areas and OECMs…

  • Assessing climate action progress of the City of Toronto

    Open AccessKimberley R Slater, Jacob Ventura et al.ARTICLEBuildings and Cities2022Referências: 4

    The Canadian City of Toronto’s progress is evaluated for the implementation of its climate action plan, TransformTO, and its effectiveness in reducing sectoral emissions. Following a brief history of climate action in Toronto, the key climate policies and programs are subjected to a content analysis and assessed using an aggregate evaluation framework composed of qualitative indicators commonly used to track municipal climate action. The results …

  • Possibles and Post Qualitative Inquiry

  • Sustainability in an Imaginary World

    David Maggs, John RobinsonBOOKSustainability in an Imaginary…2020

    Sustainability in an Imaginary World explores the social agency of art and its connection to complex issues of sustainability. Over the past decade, interest in art’s agency has ballooned as an increasing number of fields turn to the arts with ever-expanding expectations. Yet just as art is being heralded as a magic bullet of social change, research is beginning to throw cautionary light on such enthusiasm, challenging the linear, prescriptive, i…

    This article presents the results of a 2014 survey of more than 2,100 U.S. employers on their requirements for multilingual employees. The survey found a significant discrepancy: On the one hand, 93% of respondents “value[d] employees who...are able to work effectively with customers, clients, and businesses from a range of different countries and cultures.” On the other, 66% of respondents reported identifying foreign language skills in the hiri…

  • Triggering transformative change

    Stuart Burch, Sarah Burch et al.ARTICLEClimate Policy2014

    While climate change action plans are becoming more common, it is still unclear whether communities have the capacity, tools, and targets in place to trigger the transformative levels of change required to build fundamentally low-carbon, resilient, healthy communities. Evidence increasingly supports the finding that this transformation is not triggered by climate policy alone, but rather is shaped by a broad array of decisions and practices that …
