Time, emotions and moral judgements
The emergence of Generative AI (GenAI) in higher education has prompted considerable discussion within the research community. Despite their centrality, students’ perspectives remain underexplored. We investigated how students position GenAI in relation to their studies, conducting focus groups with 79 students across four Australian universities. Taking a sociotechnical stance and employing reflexive thematic analysis, we identified three primar…
Reckoning with the ways in which the mechanistic worldview is embedded in chemicals management and how Indigenous Knowledge Systems might help account for the complexities of chemical risk
Governmental institutions in nations that have adopted the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) are working to create appropriate institutional structures to support the implementation of the declaration. This opens up a window of opportunity to learn from and engage with Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) and promote transformational change, provided that communication challenges are overcome. Canada recently e…
Incorporating equity, diversity, and inclusion in science
Questions of equity, diversity, and inclusion in the sciences have taken center stage in light of the COVID‐19 pandemic and Black Lives Matter movement of 2020. This paper focuses on the experiences of academics engaging in such work, particularly in their roles as educators, by sharing two of the authors' experiences introducing equity, diversity, and inclusion initiatives in a first‐year science course at a Canadian university. Using critical r…
Teaching Science as a Process, Not a Set of Facts
Changing Debates and Shifting Landscapes in Science Studies
Few studies consider how changes in science studies education might reduce barriers to fruitful engagement with scientific practices. This paper is co-authored by the participants and instructor of a small interdisciplinary graduate seminar at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver, Canada. The seminar reflected on the role of value-judgments in science, considering the learning experiences of a science studies student (AR, first a…
The manufacturing of consensus
On the limitation of evidence-based policy

For many in the Global North, urban life means that your shit is not your problem. We postulate that a possible reason for the global sanitation failure in urban areas is a disconnect between sanitation expectations-what we term the urban sanitation imaginary-and the practices required by proposed sanitation solutions. The case study presented here is based on interviews with residents of Villa Lamadrid, a marginalized neighborhood in Buenos Aire…
The notion of sewage as waste
Öberg, G., M. G. Merlinsky, A. LaValle, M. Morales, and M. M. Tobias. 2014. The notion of sewage as waste: a study of infrastructure change and institutional inertia in Buenos Aires, Argentina and Vancouver, Canada. Ecology and Society 19(2): 19. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-06531-190219
Where to begin? Grappling with how to use participant interaction in focus group design
Participant interaction is said to be the hallmark of the focus group method, but a number of studies suggest that the defining feature of the method is virtually absent in most focus group research. Our meta-analysis of this debate over participant interaction in the focus group literature suggests that absence of interaction data reflects a philosophical position, rather than neglect. Participant interaction is treated differently in different …
Learning in focus groups
The focus group is a research methodology in which a small group of participants gathers to discuss a specified issue under the guidance of a moderator. The discussions are tape-recorded, transcribed and analysed. Notably, the interaction between focus group participants has seldom been evaluated, analysed or discussed in empirical research. We argue that considering the focus group in light of current research into interaction in problem-based l…
