Weaving Indigenous and Western knowledge systems across a continuum of knowledge and decision-making spaces
Researchers and practitioners in many fields are increasingly bringing together (i.e. weaving) Indigenous and Western Knowledge Systems to address intertwined issues of environmental sustainability and social justice. However, varying expectations of what it means to ‘weave’ knowledge systems in practice can reinforce existing power structures, even in well-meaning collaborations. For instance, weaving knowledge systems to generate new insights a…
Application of Tiime (Toward an Inclusive Intergenerational Model of Ecology) to Experiences of Poverty: Environmental Justice Research, Prevention, and Intervention Efforts
Climate change increases vulnerability to poverty and impedes the achievement of no poverty (SDG1). Individuals and communities facing poverty experience climate (or environmental) injustices within and across interconnected economic, education, energy, food, health, housing, transportation, and water systems. Understanding and addressing climate injustices, then, require a comprehensive approach. TIIME (Toward an Inclusive Intergenerational Mode…
Small-scale fisheries in ecologically sensitive areas in Latin America and the Caribbean: Do marine protected areas benefit fisheries governance
Many small-scale fisheries (SSFs) in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) operate in ecologically sensitive areas, where balancing conservation and resource use is challenging. 'Multiple-use' marine protected areas (MPAs) have been implemented to accommodate SSFs (among other uses) within areas designated for conservation, creating opportunities and challenges for SSF governance. We analyzed eleven case studies from LAC to explore: (1) how diffe…
Reducing Climate Change Denial and Increasing Support for Climate‐Friendly Policies: The Role of Climate Change Education
Insufficient US public education and misinformation from other sources contribute to climate change (CC) denial. Public US university students in the South (Study 1) and Northeast (Studies 1 and 2) were randomly assigned to watch two educational science videos on CC (experimental condition) or flu viruses (control condition). Experimental (vs. control) condition participants reported (a) less agreement with statements reflecting CC denial (immedi…

Implementation of the new intervention model had a positive impact on the indicators of interest, halting the downward trend in vaccination coverage recorded in recent years
Education for peace in a peace-friendly context: Testing a virtual learning tool to improve teachers’ competencies for conflict transformation in Colombia
Colombian society has been exposed to decades of sociopolitical violence with apparent effects on its social infrastructure that may inadvertently lead to more structural, cultural, and interpersonal forms of violence. Peacebuilding efforts are required, and education for peace plays a key role. This requires building conflict sensitivity within the school system and improving teachers' competence-based knowledge in several domains. To achieve th…
A human rights‐based approach to climate injustices at the local, national, and international levels: Program and policy recommendations
The climate crisis threatens and violates human rights to development, education, food, health, housing, life, meaningful and informed participation, self‐determination, and water. Climate injustices refer to how some communities are shouldering the disproportionate brunt of the negative effects of climate change while being the least responsible. With a human rights‐based approach focused on protection and participation rights, this paper review…
Intersections of ageism toward older adults and other isms during the Covid‐19 pandemic
The COVID‐19 pandemic is a significant global issue that has exacerbated pre‐existing structural and social inequalities. There are concerns that ageism toward older adults has intensified in conjunction with elevated forms of other “isms” such as ableism, classism, heterosexism, racism, and sexism. This study offers a systematic review (PRISMA) of ageism toward older adults interacting with other isms during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Articles were …
A human rights based approach to the global children's rights crisis: A call to action
Children are not responsible for diseases, natural disasters, political conflicts, and wars; yet, children generally suffer the most. Although the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989) is one of the most ratified world treaties, ample evidence of violations of children's rights exists in reports on the devastating effects of climate change, the COVID‐19 pandemic, and armed conflicts (e.g., Afghanistan, Haiti, Syria, Ukraine, Yemen) incl…
Educación para la Paz, Convivencia Escolar y Resolución de Conflictos: Una revisión de programas de intervención
La Educación para la Paz en los colegios es un proceso que implica que los estudiantes aprendan habilidades para convivir pacíficamente y resolver conflictos con otros. Múltiples instituciones educativas en diferentes contextos han emprendido esfuerzos en este sentido, pero no siempre estas experiencias, ni sus resultados, quedan suficientemente documentados. En este artículo se propone presentar un Estado del Arte, resultado de la exploración e…
Linking transdisciplinary research characteristics and quality to effectiveness: A comparative analysis of five research-for-development projects
More and more effective research is needed to help address complex sustainability problems. Many research approaches have adopted more transdisciplinary characteristics as a way to improve effectiveness. However, empirical evidence of the extent to which and how transdisciplinary research design and implementation contribute to (more) effective scientific and social outcomes remains limited. This paper reports a comparative analysis of five resea…
Crossing the science-policy interface: Lessons from a research project on Brazil nut management in Peru
There are high expectations for contemporary forestry research, and sustainability research more broadly, to have impact in the form of improved institutions, policy and practice and improved social and environmental conditions. As part of this trend, there has been an evolution of research approaches that move beyond isolated, reductionist, disciplinary science toward approaches that integrate disciplines (interdisciplinary) and that engage a wi…
Stereotypes about Old Age, Social Support, Aging Anxiety and Evaluations of One's Own Health
As the aging population in Colombia grows, caring for older adults falls not just to family but also to the community including friends and religious organizations. While there is very little research on ageism in Colombia, it is increasingly urgent to understand the role of social support of the growing older population. Two studies were conducted with a community sample in Bogotá, Colombia. In a pilot study, we developed a measure of positive a…
The Protestant Work Ethic: A Lay Theory with Dual Intergroup Implications
The authors propose that, in the US, the Protestant work ethic (PWE) relates both to social tolerance and intolerance. PWE is proposed to have a surface meaning that relates to social tolerance, and also an associated meaning that relates to intolerance, which is acquired in part through social and cultural experience (e.g. PWE being used as a justifier of inequality). In correlational and experimental studies, PWE was related to greater egalitar…
Lay theories and intergroup relations: A social-developmental perspective
Abundant research suggests that the study of lay theories helps to explain intergroup relations. Building on this work as well as "interactionist" theories for understanding social behaviour from developmental and social psychology, we propose an integrative social-developmental perspective examining how lay perceivers' characteristics (e.g., age, race, psychological motivations) interact with the environments in which they are nested to impact l…
