Curling for Cash
This essay considere the sport of curling as practiced in Canada. At a general level, I propose that the cultural understandings which have grown around the sport are important for an assessment of its social importance. In particular, I intend to examine some of the conflicting meanings which participants have created through their involvement in the sport. I will point to the ways in which the sport is implicated in the construction and renegot…
Linking land displacement and environmental dispossession to Mi'kmaw health and well‐being
For over five decades, Pictou Landing First Nation, a small Mi'kmaw community on the northern shore of Nova Scotia, has been told that the health of its community is not impacted by a pulp and paper mill pouring 85 million litres of effluent per day into a lagoon that was once a culturally significant place known as “A'se'k,” and which borders the community. Based on lived experience, the community knows otherwise. Despite countless government‐ a…
If only they had accessed the data
For over fifty years, Pictou Landing First Nation (PLFN), a small Mi'kmaw community on the northern shore of mainland Nova Scotia, Canada, has been told by a Joint Environmental Health Monitoring Committee (JEHMC) mandated to oversee the health of the community that their health has not been impacted by exposure to 85 million litres of pulp mill effluent dumped every day into what was once a culturally significant body of water bordering their co…
Governmental Fiduciary Failure in Indigenous Environmental Health Justice
From 1967 until 2020, [Community] has had 85 million litres of pulp and paper mill effluent dumped every day into an estuary that borders the community. Despite long-term concerns about cancer in the community, a federal government appointed Joint Environmental Health Monitoring Committee, mandated to oversee the health of the community, has never addressed [Community] concerns. In this study we accessed the 2013 Canadian Cancer Registry microfil…
A Typology for Investigating the Effects of Sturgeon Aquaculture on Conservation Goals

Community, State, and Market on the North Atlantic Rim
This is a study of Northern Norway and Atlantic Canada, two regions experiencing a severe crisis due to overexploitation of fisheries resources. The work of a group of researchers from Canada, Norway, and the United States, it examines the implications of common market integration, privatized resource management, and small business development policies for fishery-dependent communities in terms of long-term sustainability and participatory democr…
Cheap Wage Labour
Cheap Wage Labour is the first analysis of shore work and shoreworkers in British Columbia from the 1860s to the mid-1980s. Muszynski provides an interpretation of events that led to the creation of a cheap wage labour force of shoreworkers, their organization within the framework of the fishermen's union (UFAWU), and, as a consequence, the steady decline of their numbers until today they represent only a small portion of the labour force. She lo…
A Sociology of Standards? Commentary on Benjamin Singer's Proposal
There are two basic components to Singer's analysis of standards. The first is concern with disjunction in North American professional and organizational life between the and standards of social structure and systems ostensibly generated to guard them (p. 206). Singer argues that systems, which are widespread in our major institutions, have generated dynamics of their own which undermine which should prevail in a well-ordered (p. 207). The second…

Formal and Informal Economic Ties between Fishing Boat Captains and Fish Buyers in Nova Scotia
Growing interest in the impact of formal and informal economic ties between fishermen and fish buyers has characterized orthodox and radical perspectives alike. Economists are concerned with the process underlying price determination, while political economists have assessed the issue of class fractionalization and dependence. On the basis of 404 interviews with boat captains in the Nova Scotia fishery, we examine the extent and structure of thes…

Economic Segmentation and Politics
Recent research, most of it American, has demonstrated the importance of segmentation theory for explanations of a wide array of social and economic phenomena. This paper attempts to extend this theoretical perspective by examining some of its implications for political orientations and relationships. As many segmentations proponents are aware, conventional liberal and Marxist theories have systematically underestimated the persistence of heterog…
Segmentation and wage determination
Dans leurs écrits récents sur la segmentation socio‐économique, les Américains ont utilise des données secondaires recueillies dans le secteur industriel, pour démontrer que les arguments qui veulent que les salaires soient fixés par la population active ou fonctionelle, étaient limités. A l'aide de données recueillies principalement dans des maisons de commerce canadiennes, cette étude explore les effets d'une notion alternative du fonctionnemen…

The Segmentation Perspective as a Middle-Range Conceptualization in Sociology
This paper is an examination of the segmentation perspective which recently has be- come popular in sociology and economics. It discusses the contemporary roots of segmentation theory, empirically and ideologically, and identifies the central tenets underlying its diverse speci- fications. In characterizing the theory as a middle-range conceptualization, attention is drawn to both the connection to the sociological classics and the alternative re…
