Shaping society, building community. The role of mutual aid in a pastoral Basque valley (Xiberoa, France)
International audience
Assessing outcomes of a field-oriented course in natural infrastructure
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to address the need for transdisciplinary training programs to equip engineers and scientists with the skills required for planning, designing, building and managing natural infrastructure (NI) systems for sustainable and resilient water resources. Design/methodology/approach The study describes an experiential, field-oriented course in NI delivered over an intensive four-day period at the University of Georgi…

Environmental Change in Southern Appalachia
Peer-to-peer accommodation hosts
While peer-to-peer accommodation research is increasingly cognizant of various stakeholders impacted by the rising popularity of this disruptive phenomenon, one stakeholder remains understudied – the host. This study uses a Deductive Qualitative Analysis to explore a tripartite of peer-to-peer accommodation host identities (entrepreneurial identity, residential identity, and sustainable entrepreneur identity) within the US City of Savannah, Georg…

Assessing Social Vulnerability through a Local Lens
Vulnerability and resilience of coastal communities is increasingly important in the face of sea level rise and severe storms. Situated at the nexus of geographic information systems (GIS) and natural hazard vulnerability, this study compares and integrates a GIS-based approach that produces social vulnerability indexes from census data and a human subject survey-based approach that learns local perceptions of coastal hazards in the aftermath of …
Do April showers bring May flowers? Knowledge and perceptions of local biodiversity influencing understanding of global environmental change. A presentation of the Piaf project
The multidisciplinary and comparative PIAF program (ANR Jeunes Chercheurs 2014-2018) uses perceptions and discourse relating to biodiversity to investigate local understandings of environmental change and strategies for adaptation to those changes. Beginning from the hypothesis that a person's connection to the environment differs according to his or her degree of dependence on natural resources and place of residence, we examine perceptions and …
Can Science Writing Collectives Overcome Barriers to More Democratic Communication and Collaboration? Lessons from Environmental Communication Praxis in Southern Appalachia
Despite compelling reasons to involve nonscientists in the production of ecological knowledge, cultural and institutional factors often dis-incentivize engagement between scientists and nonscientists. This paper details our efforts to develop a biweekly newspaper column to increase communication between ecological scientists, social scientists, and the communities within which they work. Addressing community-generated topics and written by a coll…
Nature Talk in an Appalachian Newspaper
As the people of Southern Appalachia confront the challenges of climate change and exurban development, their foundational beliefs about the environment and human-environment relations will significantly shape the types of individual and collective action that they imagine and pursue. In this paper, we use critical discourse analysis of an influential small-town newspaper to understand how the environment is being represented publicly and conside…

Searching for Success
Much of the co-management literature is dedicated to determining the conditions that allow for successful management of natural resources. However, what constitutes is often left undefined. In practice, though, it is clear that different actors have different ways of conceptualizing success. This paper examines how different actors define success in the context of a common property system in southwestern France that is transitioning to a co-manag…
Hard choices
We're European Farmers Now
In this article, we discuss the economic constraints and opportunities that Basque farmers in two neighbouring valleys in France faced before the 2003 reforms of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). In the last decade, constraints and opportunities have shifted, and farmers have diversified their economic strategies in order to cope with a rise in rural tourism and second home ownership, an expansion of leisure activities into what has historica…
Sorting out roles and defining divides
Many conservation practitioners and scholars have called for increasing involvement of the social sciences in conservation and better integration among the various disciplines engaged in conservation practice. This research uses the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Fourth World Conservation Congress (WCC) as a site of ethnographic inquiry to explore in-depth how conservation researchers and practitioners view the social scien…
Graduate education and training in the neoliberal university
This essay explores the impacts of neoliberal policies on graduate education, focusing attention on issues of curriculum, decision-making, and the role of graduate students at the university
