  • Communities actively seek nature for well‐being despite constraints: (Re)representation of nature experiences through composite narratives

    Open AccessAndrew K Palmer, Mark Riley et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2026

    While the physical and mental health benefits of greenspace exposure are well documented, ethnic minority communities in the United Kingdom continue to engage with these environments at disproportionately lower rates. This persistent disparity points to an oversight in existing literature, specifically regarding how these communities navigate everyday encounters with nature. This qualitative study employs interviews and diary methods to explore t…

  • Exploring the role of ethnicity and culture in shaping greenspace practices: A qualitative study from Bristol, UK

    Open AccessAndrew K Palmer, Mark Riley et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2025

    Greenspaces provide multiple wellbeing and social benefits, yet ethnic minorities often have restricted engagement with these spaces which reinforces health inequalities. Addressing these requires a detailed understanding of the diversity of ethnic minorities’ perceptions, preferences, and practices relating to greenspaces. Through thematic analysis of interview and diary transcripts from 53 people from multiple ethnic minority groups in Bristol,…

  • Conceptualizing and measuring socio-cultural values in marine and coastal environments: Progress and research needs from a systematic map

    Open AccessJames A DelBene, Serge Clément et al.ARTICLEEcosystems and People2025

    Marine and coastal environments underpin societal wellbeing and prosperity, yet decisions about their management often overlook socio-cultural values because they are mainly intangible and non-monetized. As these environments face rapid social and environmental change, there is a pressing need to improve our understanding of such values and incorporate them into decision-making before they are lost. Various conceptual frameworks and global assess…

  • Why do we burn? Examining arguments underpinning the use of prescribed burning to manage wildfire risk

    Open AccessPele J Cannon, Serge ClémentARTICLEPeople and Nature2025

    Managing wildfire risk requires consideration of complex and uncertain scientific evidence as well as trade‐offs between different values and goals. Conflicting perspectives on what values and goals are most important, what ought to be done and what trade‐offs are acceptable complicate those decisions. Prescribed burning is an important intervention to mitigate wildfire risk, but its planning and implementation are often controversial and politic…

  • In and out of place: Diverse experiences and perceived exclusion in UK greenspace settings

    Open AccessAndrew K Palmer, Mark Riley et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Planning E Nature…2025Cited by: 2References: 102

    People from all sections of society should feel welcome and included to enjoy greenspaces. However, people from ethnic minority backgrounds may experience exclusionary practices and discriminatory processes, limiting their access, enjoyment, and benefits from such spaces. This paper aims to address these issues through an in-depth qualitative study exploring how 53 individuals from UK ethnic minority backgrounds residing in Bristol perceive and e…

  • Action research for transformative change

    Open AccessThami Croeser, Serge Clément et al.ARTICLESustainability Science2024Cited by: 1References: 9

    As major policy actors (e.g. governments, global organisations) grapple with 'wicked’ sustainability challenges, the use of demonstration projects or ‘living labs’ has promise in showcasing potential solutions. However, these projects can struggle to realise enduring change, with initial experimental deliverables tending not to be replicated and remaining as once-offs. As well as demonstrating solutions, projects also need to overcome the conside…

  • Removing Barriers to Science and the Outdoors for Teenage Youth and Early Career Professionals in the US Arctic and Beyond: An Expedition-Based Model

    Open AccessJ C Young, Serge Clément et al.ARTICLESibirica2023References: 5

    Inspiring Girls* Expeditions is a global organization that empowers 16- to 18-year-old youth through 12-day backcountry science and art expeditions, including in the US Arctic and Subarctic. Because science and outdoor fields are historically white- and male-dominated, Inspiring Girls* follows an intersectional approach to welcome youth with marginalized genders, people of color, Indigenous people, and other marginalized groups into these arenas.…

  • Expert preferences on options for biodiversity conservation under climate change

    Open AccessSerge Clément, Rachel J Standish et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2023Cited by: 1References: 7

    Climate change and other anthropogenic drivers challenge the efficacy of traditional approaches to biodiversity conservation. Moreover, the extent and pace of drivers of change are projected to intensify, making ecological restoration of some ecosystems to historical baselines increasingly untenable. This new reality has sparked debates about what new approaches are needed in restoration and conservation. The individual preferences of experts (e.…

  • Towards an understanding of quality and inclusivity in human-environment experiences

    Open AccessAndrew K Palmer, Mark Riley et al.ARTICLEGeography Compass2023Cited by: 2References: 98

    As calls grow for relational approaches to nature and wellbeing research that consider reciprocity in human-environment interactions, the concept of affordances is gaining importance as a useful way of thinking about nature experiences. Affordances provide a framework to enable individualised conceptions of nature by focusing on what is functionally meaningful to people. However, affordance thinking is currently limited in its ability to help us …

  • Knowledge governance for the Anthropocene: Pluralism, populism, and decision‐making

    Open AccessSerge ClémentARTICLEGlobal Policy2022

    Many new models of governance are presented as offering potential to more effectively confront environmental challenges in the Anthropocene by transforming the underlying logic of decision‐making. A common feature of these models is the imperative to integrate multiple forms of knowledge, disciplinary perspectives, and diverse networks of actors both within and outside the academy. These calls for pluralism are not just about it as a democratic p…

  • Progressing Green Infrastructure planning: Understanding its scalar, temporal, geo-spatial and disciplinary evolution

    Ian Mell, Serge ClémentARTICLEImpact Assessment and Project…2020

    Growing recognition has developed between policy-makers and practitioners that green infrastructure (GI) provides an approach to planning for effectively integrating ecosystems, biodiversity, socio-economic and political factors into a coherent framework for environmental management. While there has been progressive development of the concept, a deeper analysis demonstrates that this process has been disjointed. We identify four factors or ‘axes’…

  • Balancing closeness and distance through identity enactment: Psychological therapy assessments explored through the assessor-client dyad

    Angela Sweeney, Katie Kelly et al.ARTICLEQualitative Research in Psychology2020Cited by: 1References: 5

    Whilst encounters in psychology are typically experienced relationally, qualitative dyadic research in psychology is relatively rare. This study used qualitative dyadic research to understand psychological therapy assessments, exploring how experiences are actively created through situated, relational encounters. Seven dyads participated in qualitative semi-structured interviews, predominantly from services for trauma survivors. Thematic dyadic a…

  • Understanding Effectiveness in its Broader Context: Assessing Case Study Methodologies for Evaluating Collaborative Conservation Governance

    Serge Clément, Angela M Guererro et al.ARTICLESociety & Natural Resources2019Cited by: 6References: 13

    Collaborative forms of governance are increasingly favored in conservation and potentially offer a range of practical and outcome-based benefits. However, tools for critically assessing whether and how collaboration enhances the attainment of conservation objectives are lagging behind the enthusiasm. We use a framework that considers effectiveness in relation to capacity of key actors and institutions to achieve outcomes and respond to emergent p…

  • Consideration of urban green space in impact assessments for health

    Open AccessThomas B Fischer, Urmila Jha‐Thakur et al.ARTICLEImpact Assessment and Project…2018

    This paper explores how health aspects connected with the planning of urban green space are currently supported through two types of impact assessments: health impact assessment (HIA) and environmental assessment, including strategic environmental assessment (SEA) of policies, plans and programmes and environmental impact assessment (EIA) of projects. Seven HIAs and five EIAs/SEAs from the UK, the US, the Netherlands, Austria and Germany are revi…

  • Genèse de la déprise

    Serge Clément, Marcel Drulhe et al.ARTICLEGérontologie et société2018

    Trente ans après la première mention de « déprise » en sociologie du vieillissement, ce libre propos revient sur l’histoire de la notion, que l’on peut découper en quatre phases : d’abord celle de l’invention, faite de lien et de prise de distance avec la « disengagement theory » ; ensuite celle de la mise à l’épreuve par l’enquête sur les pratiques de la ville des personnes vieillissantes qui permet de préciser la notion dans le cadre des rappor…

  • L'idiotie ou la subversion par les marges dans Molloy

    Serge Clément, Sarah ClementARTICLELittérature2017

    La figure de l'idiot beckettien remplit une triple fonction : critique, philosophique, et poétique. Cet article montre que l'indétermination de Molloy porte en germe une puissance de subversion qui remet en cause les lois de la communauté. En inversant la hiérarchie des valeurs, l'idiot se pose comme une conscience interrogeante qui remet en cause tous les emblèmes du savoir docte, institué, académique. Il oppose également une résistance au langa…

  • Defining continuity of care from the perspectives of mental health service users and professionals: An exploratory, comparative study

    Open AccessAngela Sweeney, Jonathon Davies et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2016

    BACKGROUND: Continuity of care (COC) is central to the organization and delivery of mental health services. Traditional definitions have excluded service users, and this lack of involvement has been linked to poor conceptual clarity surrounding the term. Consequently, very little is known about the differences and similarities in the conceptualization of COC by mental health service users and professionals. OBJECTIVE: To explore and compare menta…

  • Le mourir et le lien social

    Marcel Drulhe, Serge ClémentARTICLEInternational Review of Community…2015References: 6

    La désocialisation de la vieillesse et de la mort est-elle aussi généralisée qu'on le dit et ce processus supposé en touche-t-il tous les aspects ? Dans cet article, on part au contraire de l'hypothèse d'un changement du rapport social aux personnes âgées et aux mourants, de telle sorte que les divers traitements contemporains du mourir manifestent de nouveaux modes de socialisation, parce qu'à chaque épisode du vieillir et du mourir, le problème…

  • Vieillesse ou vieillissement ? Les processus d'organisation des modes de vie chez les personnes âgées

    Jean-François Barthe, Serge Clément et al.ARTICLEInternational Review of Community…2015Cited by: 10

    Comme n'importe quel acteur social, les personnes âgées mettent en oeuvre diverses sortes de tactiques (on ne préjuge pas que leurs pratiques sont le fruit d'une élaboration consciente ou l'adaptation de routines) pour affronter les difficultés de la vie quotidienne. La diversité et la dispersion de ces pratiques s'expliquent en partie par la nature des problèmes auxquels elles sont confrontées aux différents moments de leur trajectoire. Trois so…
