That’s Where Our Income Comes From”
Reproductive hardship is highly stigmatized, which leads to such struggles being relegated to the private sphere. At the same time, numerous studies show links between toxic chemicals and reproductive hardship including miscarriage, infertility, and birth defects. There thus exists a disconnection between structural contributors to reproductive challenges and the fact that such hardship is frequently viewed as a personal problem. Considering this…
Socio-Psychological Impacts of Hydraulic Fracturing on Community Health and Well-Being
At the core of the hydraulic fracturing (fracking) debate is the level of perceived risk involved with extractive industries, such as the release of toxic and carcinogenic chemicals, increased population growth, and truck traffic.

In this study, we examine the perceived impacts of hydraulic fracturing (fracking) o…

This paper studies the power struggle of two rival groups (Frack Free Denton and Denton Tax Payers for a Strong Economy) over fracking in Denton. How did each of these groups challenge the claims-making activities and goals of their adversaries?” We conducted data from ten in-depth interviews from each side to compare conce…

Moreover, Gumplowicz considered conflict to be a cycle that brought on the economic exploitation of others. Gumplowicz formularized that history is as a repetitive cycle consisting of groups attacking, suppressing, and absorbing each other. The state emerges as a means to subju…
