Farm workers and the structural basis of climate change perceptions
Farm workers are particularly vulnerable to climate change, especially from extreme heat; however, little is known about how they perceive this risk. This study examines climate change perceptions (CCP) among 404 farm workers surveyed in-person in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, Texas from April-May 2024. Guided by Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of practice, we conducted a latent class analysis (LCA) of economic, cultural, social, and symbolic capital ind…

Fossil fuel interests in Puerto Rico: Perceptions of incumbent power and discourses of delay
This study explores perceptions of fossil fuel interests and the role narratives of fossil fuel obstruction play in slowing down the renewable energy transition in Puerto Rico.

This assumption proposes only three actors in the process of effective disaster management: the government officials that generate disaster information, the media that transmit it, and the public, who receives the information and acts accordingly. A case study of a floo…
