Exploring unintended outcomes and trade-offs of climate adaptation for human well-being, using qualitative network models (QNMs)
Adaptation to climate change can have trade-offs and unintended outcomes that may add to climate impacts. Identifying how these consequences arise in local contexts is an important step in climate adaptation planning, but the tools for doing so are still evolving. We demonstrate how social-ecological qualitative network models (QNMs) can be used to explore the consequences of climate adaptation in fisheries. Drawing on the dynamics of the U.S. We…
Reimagining community-centered engagement to guide offshore wind planning and development
Community engagement in energy development is increasingly recognized as critical to align project design choices with the needs and perspectives of affected communities. However, offshore wind (OSW) development along the U.S. West Coast has often seen engagement efforts that are inconsistent, delayed, or disconnected from local decision-making. This study advances theoretical and applied understanding of public participation in energy planning b…

Commercial fisher perceptions illuminate a need for social justice considerations in navigating climate change impacts on fisheries systems
Climate change will amplify stress on marine systems already challenged by conflicts and inequities relating to fisheries access, management decisions, and ocean uses across sectors. Understanding how those most connected to fisheries perceive the risks associated with climate change is critical to developing effective responses and establishing management priorities. Adaptation planning efforts may be hindered by perceptions of unequal or unfair…
Cancer, Stress, and Ironies of Cancer Understanding in South Korea
Cancer incidence has been rising in South Korea, coincident with industrialization and with increased longevity. This has opened the way to a presentation of cancer as a symptom of prosperity and social advancement. Cancer care for older South Koreans is marketed widely as a way of giving back to the older generation, and is often portrayed as an opportunity to mobilize technological achievement alongside family care work to honor aging parents. …
Shopping for Identities
Consumer culture is ubiquitous; it has no certain historical origins and no clear social boundaries. In the United States, where consumer society was ostensibly invented as a way to wage the cold war, shopping is the number two leisure activity after watching television. Young Japanese women who arrive in the United States as exchange students list shopping as their number one hobby. Is shopping women's work or a form of leisure activity for the …
Measured excess gender, status, and consumer nationalism in south korea
"Past scholarship on the culture of nationalism has largely focused on the ways in which institutions utilize memory and "history" to construct national identity. Laura C. Nelson challenges these assumptions with regard to South Korea, arguing that its identity has been as much tied to notions of the future as rooted in a recollection of the past. Measured Excess offers an analysis of the ways in which South Korean economic development strategies…
