The best laid plans: How do adopted city sustainability goals influence site-level action in urban forestry
Cities increasingly hope to mobilize nature-based solutions in urban sustainability planning because of their wide-ranging ecosystem services. In this critical moment, where failure due to poor implementation could lead policymakers to turn away from nature-based solutions, we investigate the case of urban forestry and ask: how do strategic-level sustainability goals influences site-level decision-making? We conducted semi-structured interviews w…
Pathways towards equity: Solutions-focused workshops with urban greening professionals
Urban green governance refers to the complex network of actors working across sectors to manage urban vegetation. While recent research has identified barriers to addressing green space inequities, there has been much less focus on how these barriers interact as self-reinforcing systems or on potential solutions. This study explores how urban greening professionals understand and operationalize pathways toward more equitable governance, applying …
From tyranny to hope: Harnessing the power of small decisions to achieve urban sustainability goals
Policy makers and planners aim to overcome the “tyranny of small decisions” to address the triple planetary threats of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. However, top-down policies intended to prevent the accumulation of small decisions from undermining collective goods and public infrastructure have removed agency from individuals and caused unintended negative impacts on society. Urban areas are a critical context to examine the …
What is equitable urban forest governance? A systematic literature review
Urban forest governance comprises the formal and informal rules, institutions, and processes that influence collective decision-making in urban forest management. As such, it shapes key processes and outcomes that are implicated in urban environmental justice, including whose priorities and values are reflected in urban forest management and how and where urban trees are distributed. However, despite its central role in determining urban forest p…

Producing Better Writers in Sociology Classes: A Test of the Writing-across-the-Curriculum Approach
The popular writing-across-the-curriculum approach to teaching better writing skills is examined in this paper. This approach, which encourages professors to require frequent writing while supporting less rigorous grading of the writing, has been promoted as a method of teaching writing without significantly increasing the workload. Pretest and posttest writing assignments were made in 10 sociology classes and in three other classes; these were t…
