Emotional valence boosts partial and specific source memory
Previous research has shown that source memory is enhanced for emotionally valenced sources. However, it remains unclear whether this enhancement relies on better memory for specific source details or merely improved memory for the source-valence category. The present study addresses this question and disentangles emotion-based effects on partial and specific source memory using multinomial modeling. Participants ( N =67) encoded neutral words pa…
Fathoming philanthropy: Transparency in environmental grant-making philanthropic foundations
Large grant-making philanthropic foundations in the UK and the EU can have a significant influence over environmental law and as such are worthy of more attention from environmental law scholars. Through analysis of publicly available documents, we identify in this paper an absence of consistent transparency by these foundations. This makes their influence hard to understand, hard to research, hard even to see at work in the world. Transparency i…
Participation and Protest Across Civic Space: An Environmental Law Story
This article explores a continuum of environmental participation, from formalized participation in decision-making processes, protected by law, at one end, to protest on the streets, criminalized by law, at the other. Participation across this continuum is partially constituted, but also constrained, by law. We share and extend Brian Wynne’s evocative language of ‘uninvited’ participation to describe the contributions that fall outside institutio…
An umbrella review of reviews on challenges to meaningful adolescent involvement in health research
Philanthropy and environmental law
In this article, we begin to address the relative lack of scholarship on philanthropic engagement with environmental law. It is clear that big philanthropy exercises significant power in and over our discipline, in a variety of ways that extend beyond the granting (and, importantly, withholding) of funds for projects and activities. Power merits scrutiny. Building on a multi‐disciplinary literature, we identify the plausible ways in which philant…

The Aarhus Convention 1998 and the Environment Act 2021: Eroding Public Participation
On the 25 th anniversary of the signature of the Aarhus Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision‐making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters, this article explores the neglect and suspicion of its values in the new foundations of English environmental law, the otherwise sometimes admirable Environment Act 2021. Examining the journey into the Environment Act, its provisions on consultation, and processes arou…
Political differentiation and consolidation of choice in a U.S. media malaise environment: Indirect effects of perceived alikeness on voter participation
Political marketing campaigns expend enormous effort each campaign season to influence voter turnout. This cyclical democratic process and nonstop news cycle foster an environment of media malaise. Voter pessimism undercuts participation through increased perceived alikeness among ballot options. Differentiation and consolidation theory describe the voting decision process as reconciling rational and irrational information. Voters seek out differ…
Brexit and the Environment Bill: The Future of Environmental Accountability
One of the key functions of environmental law is to amplify the voice of those seeking to hold the powerful to account for their environmental performance. Now that the UK has exited the EU’s legal and institutional architecture, we turn to domestic law to glimpse the future of environmental accountability. This paper reviews the measures in the Environment Bill. Accountability measures are only ever as effective as the energy of those making use…
Validation of the Covid-19 Disbelief Scale: Conditional indirect effects of religiosity and Covid-19 fear on intent to vaccinate
The COVID-19 pandemic uprooted economies, infected millions, and altered behaviors. Yet, the invisible nature of the disease, paralleled symptoms to the common flu, and misinformation generated COVID-19 disbelief. Many believed COVID-19 was a hoax. Many believed case numbers were fabricated. Others claimed it was a ruse for sociopolitical reasons. The construction of the 8-item COVID-19 Disbelief Scale (CDS) measures the false belief COVID-19 was…
Validation of the Covid-19 Transmission Misinformation Scale and Conditional Indirect Negative Effects on Wearing a Mask in Public
The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic devastated the world economy. Global infections and deaths altered the behaviors of generations. The Internet acted as an incredible vehicle for communication but was also a source of unfounded rumors. Unfortunately, this freedom of information sharing and fear of COVID-19 fostered unfounded claims about transmission (e.g., 5G networks spread the disease). With negligible enforcement to stop the spread of rumors…
Using knowledge to care for country: Indigenous-led evaluations of research to adaptively co-manage Kakadu National Park, Australia
Participation in a time of climate crisis
The climate crisis puts real pressure on legal guarantees of public participation in decision making. This pressure comes from a number of directions, but we are particularly concerned with the technocratic erosion of routines of participation, in a turn to expertise rather than democracy for legitimate decision making. At the same time, populists resist the constraints imposed on their power by legal rights of participation. We argue, however, t…
Indigenous-led responsible innovation: Lessons from co-developed protocols to guide the use of drones to monitor a biocultural landscape in Kakadu National Park, Australia
The scholarship and practice of responsibly navigating the disruptive possibilities of new technologies has yet to fully consider Indigenous worldviews. We draw on Indigenous-led research in northern Australia’s Kakadu National Park to reflect on research practices for responsibly navigating the introduction of aerial drones as a tool for local Indigenous co-managers to monitor and manage this World Heritage Area. We co-developed protocols to gui…
Effectiveness of a social problem solving training in youth in detention or on probation: An RCT and pre-post community implementation
Techniques of Knowing in Administration: Co‐production, Models, and Conservation Law
Law frequently demands the production, sometimes effortful, of adequate knowledge for decision making. This article explores the challenging epistemic demands made by nature conservation law during planning law approval processes for major offshore wind farms. It explores this area through the prism of co‐production: not only are ‘science’ and ‘facts’ socially and legally constructed, but in addition, scientific and factual findings shape society…
The challenge of climate change
GMOs in the Internal Market: New Legislation on National Flexibility
In an area where until now national autonomy has been tenaciously resisted, new EU legislation provides Member States with ‘flexibility to decide whether or not they wish to cultivate GMOs on their territory’. This forces attention on to the subtle, and not so subtle, ways in which internal market law constrains political actors in the EU. But it is similarly suggestive of how political actors might contribute to the evolution of the internal mar…
Safety, Regulation and Tort: Fault in Context
The relationship between tort and regulation is dense and complicated. This paper examines diverse approaches to one small element of this relationship: the relationship between regulatory norms and the standard of care in personal injury cases. The lack of clear rules governing that interaction is not surprising: we would never expect the courts to give up the authority (or abdicate the responsibility) to generate private law norms; on the other…
Managing the health effects of climate change
Cooperation creates results: Third prize: 2007 Schubmehl-Prein Essay contest
Cyberspace is the non-physical space by which the whole world is connected. Cyberspace is made possible by the inventions of the computer and the internet. With this interconnectivity comes danger and fear as well. In this non-physical space, people never know what could be happening on the other end. Someone at this moment could be trying to get into the nation's computer infrastructure to plan an attack against America. However, the organizatio…
The Usual Suspects? Public Participation Under the Aarhus Convention
Principle 10 states that 'Environmental issues are best handled with the participation of all concerned citizens, at the relevant level.At the national level, each individual shall have appropriate access to information concerning the environment that is held by public authorities y and the opportunity to participate in decision-making processes.States shall facilitate and encourage public awareness and participation by making information widely …
Liability for the Escape of GM Seeds: Pursuing the ‘Victim’
The widespread commercial cultivation of GM crops in the EU and the UK is getting closer. Intense concerns about the uncertain health and environmental effects of GM farming have been the subject of high profile debate. The effects of GM farming on existing forms of agriculture, raised by the prospect of cross–pollination by GM seed, provoke similarly polarised views. However, whilst regulatory developments have been strongly influenced by enviro…
