Rhetorical Leadership of a Data Story
Developments in teleconferencing, necessitated by the COVID pandemic, have changed the ways that Indigenous and marginalized communities participate in development planning. In this paper I examine digital artifacts (recorded Zoom meetings and digital data stories) to uncover the rhetorical leadership strategies of Indigenous and minority population leaders as they reach international audiences. I ask if presentation of data stories and participa…
Deliberating Herders
How can herders directly participate in national policy debates and deliberations? In this article I assess two episodes of the Mongolian Open Society Institute's TV Forum which was nationally televised between 2005 and 2006. Focusing on two episodes which debate mining policy, I ask how herder participation was modelled through topical framing, speaking roles and decision-making criteria. Then, from this analysis, I examine the ways in which con…
Nomadic Digital Ethnography and Engagement
The availability of information and communication technologies (ICTs) such as cell phones, WIFI connections, and social media has broadly changed communication norms amongst mobile pastoralists. Scholars and development organisations have reported on the end results of digital tools, for example by examining the ability of governments and development organisations to send early-warning weather reports through enhanced cellular access; the use of …
Preserving lions and culture
Conservation biologists predict that human–wildlife conflicts will increase in the near future as climate change forces the migration of both human and animal populations in search of increasingly scarce resources. These conflicts often capture international attention pitting wildlife against human communities, which are framed as savage hunters or uncaring consumerists. This framing often presumes that wildlife killing is optional, a sport or an…
Live from the pastures
While much attention has turned to new and social media as tools to facilitate democratic participation, little attention has been paid to the ways that these tools are used by rural and nomadic communities. In this article, I examine the ways that Maasai pastoral-nomads are utilizing YouTube to present evidence of eviction, hunger, and other threats to their communities. I explore how the Maasai are using new and social media to engage and creat…
Plebiscite Deliberations
In 2015, Guåhan (Guam), an unincorporated territory of the United States, could hold a plebiscite to determine its political status. This self-determination plebiscite will give the electorate the opportunity to deliberate on one of three internationally recognized political plans for the future: Statehood, Independence or Free Association. This monumental event has received little attention in the United States, with little media coverage appear…
