The Venue Shopping Strategies of Atlantic Northeast Environmental Groups
In 2011, two massive, closed-cycle cooling towers were constructed at the base of a coal-fired power plant in Somerset, Massachusetts, to mitigate the plant’s contribution to the ecological problem of declining fish populations. The U.S. political system allows for policy problems like this to be solved through a variety of policymaking venues. Of these venues, this case explains how environmental stakeholders in Rhode Island and Massachusetts en…
What's Water Got to Do with It? Place-Related Symbolic Meanings Alter Residents' Perceived Effects of Coastal Infrastructure
The symbolic meanings residents associate with their local bodies of water and coastal infrastructure can shape their perceptions of the infrastructure's effects. In this case, we conduct a survey (N = 168) to examine residents' perceptions of visibly disruptive, yet environmentally protective cooling towers attached to a long-standing coal-fired power plant on Mount Hope Bay. Residents' symbolic meanings of the bay corresponded predominantly wit…
Online professional development for environmental educators
Massive open online courses (MOOCs) offer opportunities for professional development of environmental educators globally, yet we lack understanding of participantsTM cognitive and social learning processes and of how instructors can enhance these processes. Based on the Community of Inquiry framework, we used a survey and coded participant discussion board and Facebook posts to examine the cognitive, social, and teaching presence in the Environme…
Connecting brawn, brains, and people
Programs in which youth work collectively on an environmental stewardship project may provide social learning opportunities that support social-ecological system resilience and the development of social ties. However, few empirical investigations document the social learning processes that actually occur in these programs. This paper presents a multi-case study ethnography of six summer youth civic ecology education programs. Methods included par…
Climate adaptation education
Given the magnitude and immediacy of climate change, how should environmental education (EE) address not only reducing our climate footprint but also climate adaptation? Whereas some approaches to adaptation education are consistent with EE foundational principles, others, while crucial for individual survival, address more immediate risks in ways that do not promote longer-term environmental quality. Using a literature review, we examine issues …
