    Chen-Yuan Chen, John Chung‐en Liu et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Sociology2026

    Illegal factories on farmland represent one of Taiwan’s most persistent environmental governance challenges. This article examines how civic actors Thaubing Footprints confronted this issue through data activism. In 2020, the group used Taiwan’s Presidential Hackathon as an entry point to demand data transparency and to challenge regulatory loopholes on farmland factories. During and after the hackathon, activists integrated datasets from multipl…

  • Gender bias in competitive music composition evaluation: An experimental study

    Open AccessChaowen Ting, Yating Chuang et al.ARTICLEPublic Choice2026

    We study women’s underrepresentation in science by experimentally examining gender imbalance in music composition and whether it is due to unfair judgment in evaluative settings. We invite composition faculty to rate new compositions associated with randomly assigned gendered names along with live recordings directed by the same conductor. We find no evidence of gender bias against women, and in fact compositions associated with female names are …

Netizens generally see the campaign as a criticism …

    Using the case of Hong Kong's finance-related industries, this article examines whether preference or discrimination based on job applicants' ethnic background manifests in Hong Kong employers' hiring practices.

    John Chung‐en Liu, John Chung-En Liu et al.ARTICLECase Studies in the Environment2019

    Sharks play critical roles in the marine ecosystem, and they face serious threats due to overfishing. Conservation efforts have focused on the consumption of shark fins, especially the “finning” practice that removes the fins of a shark and discards the carcass at sea. This article reviews the shark fin legislation in the United States, including the “finning ban” which outlaws finning practices and the “fin ban” that prohibits the use of shark f…

  • China's summons for environmental sociology

    Open AccessJ A Zinda, Yifei Li et al.ARTICLECurrent Sociology2018Cited by: 1References: 73

    From demand for natural resources to sustainability initiatives, everything seems to hinge on China. China's environmental entanglements call out for the analysis and understanding that environmental sociologists practice. Environmental sociologists from within and beyond China have begun to explore how society, polity, and ecology intersect, but we have yet to fully take on the challenges that China's environmental struggles pose. This article f…

  • Pacifying uncooperative carbon: Examining the Materiality of the Carbon Market

    John Chung‐en Liu, John Chung-En LiuARTICLEEconomy and Society2017Cited by: 8References: 60

    This paper scrutinizes how greenhouse gases are 'pacified' so that they can become tradable in the carbon markets. To advance the economization programme and other materialist frameworks, I argue that the existing literature does not pay enough attention to the diverse modes of carbon accounting and, in particular, carbon measurement – the most basic step – is overlooked and undertheorized. Drawing from the 'critical metrology' approach, I sugges…
