Contribution of Training to Scientists’ Public Engagement Intentions: A Test of Indirect Relationships Using Parallel Multiple Mediation
This article investigates the impact science communication training has on engagement intentions through a parallel multiple mediation model. Theory of planned behavior variables for internal efficacy, response efficacy, norms, and attitudes are examined as potential mediators. Based on a survey of randomly selected scientists from universities in the Association of American Universities, results indicate indirect effects for internal efficacy an…
Evaluating Epistemic Commitments and Science Communication Practice in Transdisciplinary Research
Transdisciplinary research is a central commitment in efforts to advance sustainability. Transdisciplinarity requires integrating knowledge from a variety of groups, including scientists, policymakers, and regulators. Success in integrating multiple ways of knowing is influenced by the relative authority that science, as an epistemology, holds within a collaborative effort. This study draws from the literature on epistemic authority and science c…
Science Communication and Stakeholder Expertise: Insights from Sustainability Science
Communicating science is a multifaceted and complex process, particularly in sustainability science where researchers directly engage with non-academic stakeholder partners. In this insight, we explore the relationship between science communication behaviour and perceptions of stakeholder scientific expertise in a large-scale sustainability-focused research project in the Northeastern United States. We find that higher levels of perceived scienti…

Mass Communication Research in Sustainability Science: Moving Toward an Engaged Approach to Address Society’s Sustainability Dilemma
Mass communication scholarship provides invaluable insight into how discursive trends in media reflect, produce, and obscure society’s most pressing sustainability issues, yet too often this research falls short of creating action, interventions, or change. In this article, we argue that mass communication should be considered a cornerstone discipline for sustainability science research, particularly within transdisiciplinary sustainability scien…
Communication and sustainability science teams as complex systems

Integrating Media Studies of Climate Change into Transdisciplinary Research: Which Direction Should We Be Heading
Research in the area of media coverage on climate change communication represents one of the most prolific areas of inquiry within communication and mass communication studies. This body of literature, which ranges from empirical to critical studies, continues to expand. Much research has focused on representations of climate change causes, effects, and human actions, while some has assessed the impacts of these representations. What is broadly m…
Knowledge to Action: Investigating Implicit Knowledge Production Models Held Among Forest Science Researchers
Criticisms of conventional knowledge production systems target their inability to address complex issues involving natural resources. In response, several researchers have adopted participatory research methodologies, incorporating more holistic problem-solving approaches that greatly value the knowledge and abilities of stakeholders. This case study explores forest science researchers' engagement strategies with stakeholders and how researchers …
Interdisciplinarity and Actionable Science: Exploring the Generative Potential in Difference
Community practice and actionable science share a commitment to solving complex problems to promote sustainability. Collective abilities to address these types of problems rely on interdisciplinary collaborations that also offer unique challenges. In this case study of a statewide interdisciplinary setting, we focus on key methodological differences related to problem identification, stakeholder involvement, competing research paradigms, and orie…

Digging Down to the Roots: On the Radical Potential of Documentary Food Films
Within the last decade there has been a significant outpouring of documentary films seeking to critique and transform the modern, industrial agricultural system. Although they have not attracted audiences comparable to a Hollywood blockbuster, some have received far more attention than is usual for documentary films. This article seeks to offer a strategy for thinking about these films' ability to facilitate deep-rooted change. First, we must con…
Can Documentary Food Films Like Food Inc. Achieve their Promise
Mediated narratives of food are important objects of analysis because they provide insight into food's signifying power, the pleasure of consuming food via media, and the commercialization of basic
Thawing the North: Mostly Martha as a German-Italian Eatopia
The establishment of the European Union, reunification of Germany, and Germany's extension of dual citizenship to immigrant minorities provided challenges to the country's understanding of itself as a nation. In negotiating these changes, debates on citizenship frequently centered on definitions of German culture. Using the concept of Leitkultur (guiding culture), conservatives argued that Germany should reject multiculturalism and stem immigrati…
Visiting the Mexican American Family: Tortilla Soup as Culinary Tourism
This essay argues that the film Tortilla Soup constructs a mediated culinary touristic experience for mainstream spectators who are invited to vicariously visit a Mexican American family. Analysis of the film's neocolonialist discourse demonstrates how the commercialization and appropriation of food culture mirror hegemonic tendencies to market and consume ethnicity. Tortilla Soup attempts to deconstruct homogenizing notions of Latinidad. Yet it …
