Pathways to pluralism in Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA): The Multi-Author Team and integrated governance model
Pluralism – the integration of different perspectives and values across diverse stakeholders – has long been considered foundational to Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) good practice. Yet guidance on how practitioners should elicit and then manage pluralism remains scarce. This professional practice paper explores the topical concept of pluralism within the context of the South African Energy SEA programme, conducted between 2013 and 2019…
Toward an Epistemology of Evolutionary Psychiatry Insights from Evolutionary Psychology
The burgeoning field of evolutionary psychiatry seeks to apply an evolutionary perspective to the study of mental disorders. Although this approach has already shown promise, it is replete with philosophical complexity. There is currently only a limited literature broaching this. To this end, in this paper we clarify the main five academic disciplines which can contribute to epistemology of EP, before focusing specifically on delineating four key…
Evolutionary Psychiatry: Current Perspectives on Evolution and Mental Health
Evolutionary psychiatry attempts to explain and examine the development and prevalence of psychiatric disorders through the lens of evolutionary and adaptationist theories. In this edited volume, leading international evolutionary scholars present a variety of Darwinian perspectives that will encourage readers to consider 'why' as well as 'how' mental disorders arise. Using insights from comparative animal evolution, ethology, anthropology, cultu…
