Fire victims as policy narrators
The participatory processes used by local governments after a disaster are essential for successful community disaster recovery and integral to local land use and planning decisions. Within that process, disaster victims may hold privileged positions as narrators of policy conflicts due to the trust that officials place in these individuals. In 2021, Louisville, Colorado, adopted stringent green building codes with the intention of increasing the…
Connecting Policy Learning and Policy Conflicts
Disagreements and conflicts over public policy can create opportunities for people to learn about how others value and prioritize policy issues or what types of policy alternatives are feasible in the face of conflicting goals. Such learning can have feedback effects that either mitigate or enhance conflicts. Despite the logical intersections between policy conflict and learning, limited empirical attention has been paid to understanding their dy…
Diagnosing individual barriers to collective learning
A growing body of public policy and governance scholars recognise the importance of learning in supporting adaptive and responsive governance systems. Fostering learning within policy processes and governance systems, however, can be challenging. Collectively, we often ignore or misinterpret relevant policy information, or we may be incapable of translating new information into policy. Despite significant scholarly attention to learning, knowledg…
Landscape development, collective amnesia and the need for integration in geomorphological research
Studies of long–term landscape change have been central to the development of ideas in geomorphology. This paper examines the history of these ideas in the context of a spiral growth model, in which progress is punctuated by ‘paradigm shifts’ and important concepts are periodically revisited. This model is used to chart the widespread abandonment of landscape research in Anglo–American geomorphology in the 1960s and 1970s and its replacement with…
