Too much hope in us? A qualitative inquiry into the deficit of ecological reflexivity in UN sustainability discourses
Strengthening the foundations of energy justice scholarship
The tenet-based approach to energy justice has seen substantial uptake over the past decade. Despite referring to philosophical terminology, energy justice scholars rarely engage rigorously with philosophical methods or ongoing debates. We argue this absence is challenging for two implicit goals that often arise in applications of the approach: to describe and capture ethical-issues surrounding energy systems and to normatively evaluate choices, …

Shadow Labor in Care Services
Korea is a country with extremely long working hours and severe gender inequality in the labor market. Based on twenty-nine in-depth interviews with Korean women care workers, this study investigates key mechanisms that reproduce unpaid and unrecognized shadow labor in paid care services.

Mother-Child Social Cognition Among Multicultural Families in South Korea
The current study examined the effects of social cognition of immigrant mothers on their children's socio-emotional development. As the findings indicated an important role of maternal factors (i.e., social cognition) for children's social cognition and their functions, psycho-social approaches (e.g., social cognition parenting education and training) should be incorporated in services for multicultural families

Operationalising Capability Thinking in the Assessment of Energy Poverty Relief Policies
This study examines a broader application of capability thinking in energy justice research, especially in the assessment of energy poverty relief policies. We review two emerging topics in energy research—energy justice and the capability approach—and connect them at the conceptual level. We then use both Sen’s and Nussbaum’s versions of capability theory to define three categories of ‘energy capabilities’ related to (a) biological and physical …
