Understanding Climate Change through Religious Lifeworlds
This informative book moves the field of religion and ecology in significant ways into dialogue with climate studies around the world.What the contributors present here is local knowledge that has global implications for our shared planetary future

Anticipating Climatic Variability
Does Diversification Improve Livelihoods? Pastoral Households in Xinjiang, China
Diversification is routinely promoted to improve poor rural peoples' livelihoods. However, policy recommendations for livelihood diversification based on evidence from crop-cultivating sedentary rural societies may not work for mobile pastoral communities, where socio-ecological conditions predetermine livestock herding as the preferred livelihood strategy. Using survey and semi-structured interview data collected from 159 households in the Altay…
Foodways Transmission in the Standing Rock Nation
Effective foodways transmission is critical to maintain the food sovereignty of indigenous peoples. In order to determine their own foodways, indigenous communities have developed diverse systems to convey knowledge related to the procurement, preparation, distribution, and consumption of food. In recent years, community organizations are taking a more active role in facilitating foodways transmission. In the Standing Rock Nation of the northern …
Biocultural Diversity and Indigenous Ways of Knowing
At the dawn of the third millennium, dramatic challenges face human civilization everywhere. Relations between human beings and their environment are in peril, with mounting threats to both biological diversity of life on earth and cultural diversity of human communities. The peoples of the Circumpolar Arctic are at the forefront of these challenges and lead the way in seeking meaningful responses. In Biocultural Diversity and Indigenous Ways of …
Pluralism, Resilience, and the Ecology of Survival
As resilience is observed under circumstances of systemic stress, the various ecological zones of the Pamir Mountains of Afghanistan and the cultural diversity contained within this milieu provide an appropriate setting from which to ask "How can a dynamic concept of pluralism inform adaptation, survival, and resilience in the face of dramatic socio-cultural and environmental change?" This paper asserts that understanding of resilience in coupled…
Academics as Citizens—Collaborative Applied Interdisciplinary Research in the Service of Communities
The article uses two case studies from native Denke Aboriginal communities in the Canadian boreal forest and the Alaskan Arctic, to argue that university-community partnerships are essential to applied interdisciplinary research and community development. It analyzes development research in those communities, with particular reference to human ecology and the impact of chemical pollutants, as well as the empowerment of women. Employing foundation…
Thunder on the Tundra
Inuit, Whaling, and Sustainability, by Milton M.R. Freemand, Ingmar Egede, Lyudmila Bogoslovskayas, Igor I. Krupnik, Richard A. Caulfield, and Marc G. Stevenson
Northern People, Southern States
Theme Schools
In sciences, when anomalies or discrepant observations generate a crisis, so that the old way of looking at things no longer suffices to explain or predict observable events, scientists construct a new paradigm (Kuhn, 1996). Despite vast differences in our backgrounds and in the attributes of our widely separated home institutions, we have arrived at strikingly similar perceptions of the need to fashion a new paradigm within undergraduate educati…
