Articulating conditions for geological carbon storage
This study examines how communities in three European contexts (depopulated rural Spain, rural industrial France, and coastal Portugal) articulate conditions for accepting geological CO2 storage. Drawing on engagement activities conducted within a Horizon 2020 project (2021–2026) across regions with no prior carbon capture and storage (CCS) experience, we identify a pattern of conditional acceptance that is not well captured by binary framings of…
Adapting whilst recovering
In recent decades, wildfires have become increasingly frequent and destructive worldwide. To tackle them, a shift in wildfire governance has been advocated: from fighting fire towards a ‘coexisting with fire’ strategy that emphasises fostering long-term, community-led transformations to reduce wildfire risk. This topic has received scant attention, particularly in Southern Europe, a region also grappling with land abandonment and an ageing, dwind…
Care and surveillance of children through domestic Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a range of technologies through which mundane objects are connected to the internet, collecting data about their environment and being able to be remotely operated. In domestic settings, they can be used to provide care for children but devices can also be used by them. This article aims to present an integrated analysis of IoT uses within the family context, particularly with regard to caring for and surveilling c…
Coalition Opportunity Structures and Advocacy Coordination in Consensus and Majoritarian Democracies
Research on advocacy coalitions suggests that belief homophily—the tendency of actors to coordinate based on shared policy beliefs—drives coalition formation. However, coalition opportunity structures, which are shaped by institutional contexts, may influence the extent to which belief homophily matters. We argue that coordination dynamics differ between majoritarian and consensus democracies. While majoritarian systems promote moderate norms of …
Assessing learning about food safety using Personal Meaning Maps
Objective: According to the World Health Organisation’s estimates, food contamination is linked to 23 million cases of illness and 5,000 deaths per year in Europe. While changes in food production and distribution play an important role in managing contamination risk, foodborne illnesses can originate in food-handling practices at home. This study aimed to assess how a food safety education initiative in which students learned about food safety r…

Wildfire mitigation and adaptation
There is a broad consensus in the academic and policy communities over the need to shift the focus from fire suppression to fire prevention. To inform policies that effectively promote this shift, we distinguish between prevention actions aimed at more fire-resilient landscapes and those focused on the protection of people, i.e., wildfire mitigation and adaptation (WM&A), respectively. With the goal of discussing the usefulness of this distinctio…
Shared Positions on Divisive Beliefs Explain Interorganizational Collaboration
Collaboration between public administration organizations and various stakeholders is often prescribed as a potential solution to the current complex problems of governance, such as climate change. According to the Advocacy Coalition Framework, shared beliefs are one of the most important drivers of collaboration. However, studies investigating the role of beliefs in collaboration show mixed results. Some argue that similarity of general normativ…
Trust and Mistrust in Sources of Scientific Information on Climate Change and Vaccines
Public trust in science and expertise remains a contentious issue. When public trust is analysed, it often simplifies a complex process of information retrieval and interpretation. Questionnaire surveys help us make sense of differences among actors and countries, but they fail to provide a comprehensive analysis of the reasons that lead citizens to trust a specific actor to differing degrees. Hence, we opted for using a qualitative grounded appr…
Visual Representations of Science in a Pandemic
This article aims to contribute to the understanding of the social dimensions of the 2020 pandemic, with a particular emphasis on the visual practices of science communication in times of health emergency, by analyzing how the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is being visually represented. It seeks to identify the format and content of images used to illustrate online information about the pandemic, in particular, from websites of pol…
Information exchange networks at the climate science‐policy interface
Scientifically informed climate policymaking starts with the exchange of credible, salient, and legitimate scientific information between scientists and policymakers. It is therefore important to understand what explains the exchange of scientific information in national climate policymaking processes. This article applies exponential random graph models to network data from the Czech Republic, Finland, Ireland, and Portugal to investigate which …
Children and Young People’s Participation in Disaster Risk Reduction
Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. Disasters are complex environmental, social and cultural events and processes yet disaster management approaches tend to simplify responses and homogenise affected populations. Participatory research with more than 550 children across Europe, detailed in this book argues for a radical transformation in children’s roles in disasters. It shows how more child-centred working in civil protection and emerg…

Local Responses to Renewable Energy Development
This chapter discusses both local opposition and local support to renewable energy developments, with particular attention to wind farms and solar power plants. Actors, arguments, and actions are examined and contrasted. It is argued that opposition to renewables has received far more attention from social scientists, even though the success of this sector in several countries can show that support is frequent and widespread. Regarding opposition…
Qué hacen los “científicos” en los museos
Este documento pretende discutir si la “ciencia en proceso” tiene algún tipo de representación en los museos. Los museos de ciencia han sido impulsados como ambientes adecuados para enseñar la ciencia, promover la alfabetización o la cultura científica, y desarrollar vocaciones científicas; pero ¿De verdad muestran cómo se hace la ciencia, lo que hacen los científicos y cómo trabajan las instituciones de investigación? Los museos de ciencia y cen…
Anti-Nuclear Mobilisation and Environmentalism in Europe
The article addresses the rise of anti-nuclear mobilisation in Portugal in the 1970s against the backdrop of similar movements across Western Europe. After performing a brief review of the literature on social mobilisation against nuclear energy, an overview is provided of the available sociological literature on environmental mobilisation in Portugal, mostly developed in a comparative southern-European perspective. The second section adds new em…
Children and the internet in Portugal
On the basis of a questionnaire survey carried out among Portuguese children, this article aims to characterise their possession and usage of the internet. The survey ascertained that the children can be grouped under four distinct user profiles — “confirmed cybernauts”, “applied students”, “inveterate gamers” and “beginners” — and demonstrates that these profiles are highly conditioned by variables such as a child’s sex and age and his or her pa…
Paisagem, tecnologia e desenvolvimento local
The study of the local impacts of renewable energy has given little attention to less implemented technologies. This work seeks to bridge this gap through a case study on the photovoltaic plant in Amareleja, based on interviews with stakeholders and residents and documentation analysis. The plant has the distinction of being part of a local initiative for regional development based on renewable energy. However, although the deployment process fac…
Community perceptions of renewable energies in Portugal
Not in Anyone’s Backyard? Civil Society Attitudes towards Wind Power at the National and Local Levels in Portugal
This article attempts to explain the swift development of renewable energy, in particular wind energy, in Portugal, by assessing the socio-political, community and market acceptance of renewables. We examine, on the one hand, the institutional and policy framework, the approaches to planning, and the ownership of facilities, and, on the other hand, the attitudes of Environmental Non-Governmental Organisations and citizens towards renewable energy…
Internet, children and space
At the dawn of modernity, in the 18th century, space became a critical category in defining generational attributes and locations. However, borders that previously tightly isolated adults and children are nowadays continuously challenged and modified by a constant and ubiquitous use of new information and communication technologies, namely the Internet, blurring notions of ‘private’ and ‘public’, ‘outdoors’ and ‘indoors’, ‘real’ and ‘virtual’. Gi…

Environmental education technologies in a social void
This article is based on a case study that follows the trajectory of a technological device aimed at environmental education from the engineering laboratory in which it was designed into the contexts in which it is used. ‘Greendrive’ is a driving simulator that accurately reproduces the performance of a vehicle in terms of fuel consumption and greenhouse gases emissions, in order to instill the principles of safe and environmentally friendly driv…
Children and digital diversity
This article discusses the heterogeneity in children's appropriation and use of the internet that make up contemporary digital divides. Based on a survey of Portuguese children in mandatory education (8- to 17-year-olds), it relies on multivariate statistical procedures to build a topological mapping of internet use patterns. Variations in digital practices and parental mediation are analysed in relation to social backgrounds and demographic trai…
Sharon Macdonald. Behind the Scenes at the Science Museum
Em Behind the Scenes at the Science Museum, a antropologia retorna ao museu, desta vez não como local de produção ou divulgação de conhecimento antropológico, mas sim como objecto de estudo. Esta obra é o resultado do trabalho de campo realizado por Sharon MacDonald (Universidade de Sheffield), no final dos anos 80, no Science Museum de Londres, acompanhando a concepção, execução e apresentação ao público de uma galeria de exposição subordinada a…
Ricardo Roque. Antropologia e Império
Antropologia e Império é uma obra de difícil classificação, na confluência de diversas tradições disciplinares. Escrita por um sociólogo, no âmbito de um curso de mestrado em sociologia histórica, aborda uma temática integrada tanto na história do colonialismo português como na história da antropologia em Portugal, com um tratamento meticuloso das fontes devedor das metodologias historiográficas, mas suportando-se teoricamente nas correntes const…
Microscópios, batas brancas e tubos de ensaio
As exposições nos museus científicos não se limitam a transmitir conhecimento ao público, constroem e difundem determinadas representações da prática científica que se destinam a promover atitudes positivas face à ciência. Este artigo procura analisar as imagens da ciência mostradas pelas exposições, nomeadamente as representações dos cientistas, dos instrumentos e técnicas, do trabalho de laboratório e de campo. É por fim discutida a relevância …
Scientific controversies in museums
This research note discusses the representation of scientific controversies in museums in a particular national context, Portugal. Despite the recent development of the national scientific system and the field of science museums, the connection between science and society has remained weak. The description of the content of scientific exhibitions, namely about controversial issues, shows that science is still portrayed as beyond dispute and unequ…
Going abroad to do science
This paper addresses the issue of scientific mobility from the standpoint of a departure country, Portugal. The analysis is focused on the conditions and motivations for leaving the home country, the choices made regarding host countries and institutions and the constraints and opportunities that bear weight on the decision to return. Mobility decisions are examined in light of the interplay between structural conditions (the global and national …

Ambiente, paisagem, património e economia
Nos últimos anos tem‐se assistido em Portugal ao crescimento exponencial do número de parques eólicos, respondendo às pressões políticas e económicas para atingir metas ambiciosas no que concerne à produção de energia através de fontes renováveis. A nível geral, este desenvolvimento tem‐se pautado por discursos consensuais – mitigação das alterações climáticas, diminuição da dependência energética face ao exterior –, mas ao nível local e situado …
