Social practice theories and research on sustainable consumption
Social practice theories are the subject of much discussion among those who study sustainability. Using social practice theories to analyze how routinized activity can contribute to unsustainability problems has resulted in a great deal of stimulating scholarship. In this introductory chapter, we begin by venturing back to some of the early work on social practices and offer an account of key theoretical contributions to the contemporary study of…
Downshifting
“Downshifting,” reducing work hours, thereby income, to increase leisure time, offers a possible individual‐level solution to the stress many experience from long working hours and work intensification. Recently, some have argued that an increase in leisure time with a reduction in income might also foster pro‐environmental lifestyles as has been demonstrated for the “voluntary simplicity” movement. Quantitative research on the relationship betwe…
A Revolution Reconsidered? Examining the Practice of Qualitative Research in Feminist Scholarship
One of feminism’s most notable objectives is to revolutionize the practice of empirical inquiry. Many feminist scholars have advocated the adoption of qualitative research methods based on standpoint epistemology as a means of reducing power imbalances and giving voice to participants. However, there has been little attempt to systematically address the extent to which qualitative methods have been integrated into feminist social science research…
Gender as contradiction
My Grandfather Would Roll Over in His Grave
In this paper we hypothesize that farmers with a stronger valuation of family farming will be more resistant to converting farmland to tree plantations. Our survey data analysis from 106 farmers in northern Alberta reveals that general opposition to trees on farmland is the strongest predictor of farmers' resistance to the establishment of poplar tree plantations on privately-owned land. Valuation of family farming is the strongest determinant of…
Critical Analysis of the Relationship between Local Ownership and Community Resiliency
Collectively, current resource-development literature has given little attention to organizational features of ownership as important variables in community resilience. By drawing from six local buyout cases in Canada's forest sector, we reveal the complexity and numerous constraints on local ownership and expose a more nuanced context than most sociologists tend to consider. Our findings suggest that the meaning of local ownership and community …
Social Consequences of Employee/Management Buyouts
Local control of natural resource processing facilities in small rural communities is often viewed as beneficial to community development. This paper employs social impact assessment tools to examine the social and economic effects of change in the ownership of forest products mills in two communities. Our analysis documents (1) the degree to which local ownership of the new, locally owned corporations led to local reinvestment of profits, and (2…
Sociology and the environment
Frame disputes in environmental controversies
Stakeholder groups’ arguments for or against regulations represent frames, or versions of reality and visions of solutions. Frame effectiveness, or the ability of a group convincingly to convey its grievances, increases its opportunities to gain valuable resources such as legitimacy, money, facilities, and labor to apply to its agenda for change. This paper uses the constructionist perspective to describe the basic frames advanced by each major g…
