Meaning Across Context: Oral Histories, Big Data, and Climate Change
The use of oral histories in social scientific approaches to climate change has enabled richly detailed explorations of the situated, meaning-laden dimensions of local experiences and knowledge. But “big data” approaches have been increasingly advocated as a means to scale up understandings from individual projects, through better utilizing large collections of qualitative data sources. This article considers the issues raised by such secondary a…
Radical interdisciplinarity in scientific practice: Placing social networks in marine and fisheries sciences
New modes of science involving more integrated collaboration between disciplines, as well as better links between knowledge, decision-making, and action, are increasingly argued as critical for environmental sciences. Yet interdisciplinarity itself is often unspecified and ambiguous, ranging from collaboration of similar disciplines to more radical interdisciplinarity spanning natural and social sciences. We use social network analysis to chart c…
Implementing harm reduction in non-urban communities affected by opioids and polysubstance use: A qualitative study exploring challenges and mitigating strategies
Defining and Applying Sustainability: Connecting Sociocultural, Economic and Biological Concepts
sustainability, biological anthropology, fisheries management, food system, sustainable fishery, Community Supported Agriculture, food and nutrition, ecology and environment
Seeding nature, ceding culture: Redefining the boundaries of the marine commons through spatial management and GIS
Integrating diverse methods to understand climate–land interactions in East Africa
Defining Fishing Communities: Issues in Theory and Practice
Characterizations of fishing communities range from containers of cultural traditions to sites of resistance, from places of management to spaces of global connection. We review key themes and issues from the literature on fishing communities, in light of theoretical work on communities and the context of applied anthropological work in the United States, where fishing community is defined as a term of law as well as art

Contemporary Challenges of Participatory Field Research for Land Use Change Analyses: Examples from Kenya
This article discusses the evolution of participatory methods and their benefits and pitfalls in contributing to land use and land cover change (LULCC) analyses. Participation has become a practical means of developing a more complete assessment of societal change by bringing local people's narratives and understandings to bear on the interpretation of data collected using more extractive methods, such as the household survey, or data collected r…
Changing Property, Spatializing Difference: The Sea Scallop Fishery in New Bedford, Massachusetts
While the historical character of US fisheries has been dominated by the idea of open access, the last several decades have seen sometimes quite radical changes to this basic way of thinking. Government regulation has increasingly taken the form of limited access to fisheries by various means. The Atlantic Sea Scallop fishery in the Northeast US provides a unique insight into the meanings, practices, and implications of these changes in the chara…
Re-Placing the Space of Community: A Story of Cultural Politics, Policies, and Fisheries Management
Getting communities involved in resource management has seen increasing attention from a variety of disciplines. Within anthropology, sociology, geography, political science-even in the natural sciences and policy circles-grassroots perspectives have been argued essential to developing new frameworks built on local knowledge and institutions (e.g. Pinkerton 1989, Dyer and McGoodwin 1994, FAO 2000). This focus on community seems to imply a buildin…

Behind the recent tragedy in Rwanda
Understanding Teaching: Beyond Expertise
Emphasizing the folk wisdom of teachers' classroom practice, their significant routines and how they are undermined by imposed innovations and the importance of teachers' tacit knowledge, the author argues that change should not be introduced against the grain of teacher intuition
