Reflections on Inter-University Collaboration to Deliver a Graduate Certificate in Evaluation to Government of the Northwest Territories Employees
This practice note describes and reflects on an inter-university collaboration to deliver a graduate credential in evaluation to Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) staff. The collaboration involved faculty members from two member institutions of the Consortium of Universities for Evaluation Education (CUEE). We describe the process of negotiating a contractual agreement, developing and delivering the program, and offer our reflections…

Reflections
Cosmopolitanism nationalism and the heritage of shame
During World War II the Japanese military used approximately 200,000 women, mainly Koreans, as bonded workers they euphemistically labeled, ‘comfort women’. Since 2010, six memorial sites dedicated to the suffering of these women have been built in the United States. Campaigns for these memorials have been led by Korean-Americans, reflecting the importance this issue has in South Korea and within the Korean Diaspora. While a growing body of resea…

The Human Rights State
Reviewed by: The Human Rights State: Justice Within and Beyond Sovereign Nations by Benjamin Gregg Robert Shepherd Benjamin Gregg, The Human Rights State: Justice Within and Beyond Sovereign Nations. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2016. 288 pp. In this book, Benjamin Gregg calls for a “post-metaphysical” approach to human rights (2), thus accepting the human origins of rights. Human rights, Gregg argues, are social constructs whi…
Scientific decision-making and stakeholder consultations
Tourism, heritage, and sacred space
This paper analyzes the development of a Buddhist pilgrimage destination, Wutai Shan, China, as both a world heritage site and a tourist destination. We examine the impact this process has had on local residents and the types of visitors world heritage status attracts. This research points to two findings: (1) United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization world heritage status can lead to spatial conflicts in societies in which…
Development of strategies for effective communication of food risks and benefits across Europe
The FoodRisC project offers a unique approach to the investigation of food risk/benefit communication. The effective spread of food risk/benefit information will assist initiatives aimed at reducing the burden of food-related illness and disease, reducing the economic impact of food crises and ensuring that confidence in safe and nutritious food is fostered and maintained in Europe
Using 'may contain' labelling to inform food choice
May contain' labelling was interpreted in the light of judgements about the product, producer and previous personal experience. It is vital that these interpretation strategies are taken into account by those responsible for labelling itself and for the provision of advice to nut allergic individuals. Suggestions to improve labelling and advice to the allergic individual are considered
The process of setting micronutrient recommendations
Objective To examine the workings of the nutrition-related scientific advisory bodies in Europe, paying particular attention to the internal and external contexts within which they operate. Design Desk research based on two data collection strategies: a questionnaire completed by key informants in the field of micronutrient recommendations and a case study that focused on mandatory folic acid (FA) fortification. Setting Questionnaire-based data w…
Departmental audit committees and governance
One of the key policies arising from the Federal Accountability Act 2006 was the requirement for deputy heads to establish “department and agency audit committees.” These committees comprise retired public servants, academics and leaders from the private sector. This policy requires deputy heads to take advice from “outside” advisers for the management of their departments or agencies. This is unprecedented. The author examines the reform anteced…
Genetically modified food in the news
This paper analyses a corpus of articles on GM crops and food which appeared in six UK newspapers in the first three months of 2004, the year following the GM Nation? debate (2003). Using the methods of critical discourse analysis we focus on how specific and pervasive representations of the major stakeholders in the national debate on GM—the British public, the British government, the science of GM, and biotechnology companies—served significant…

Cultural preservation, tourism and ‘donkey travel’ on China’s frontier
As the editors to this volume highlight, in anthropology and sociology, much attention has been paid to the impact of tourism, mainly from the ‘West,’ on local cultural practices in non-Western societies (cf. Greenwood 1989; MacCannell 1992; Linnekin 1997). Implicit in these concerns has been an assumption that increased tourism flows to a site inevitably lead to a dilution of authentic cultural practices as local residents take on performative r…
Precautionary advice about mobile phones
There is a widespread academic and policy debate about public responses to precaution in public health campaigns. This paper explores these issues in relation to the precautionary stance adopted in the UK around the regulation of mobile telecommunications. The aim of the paper is to examine the nature of attitudes to precaution, and the way in which these, along with other relevant variables, relate to the intention to adopt relevant behaviours. …

Determinants of Consumer Behavior Related to Organic Foods
There have been many studies of what influences consumers in their decisions to purchase or consume organic foods, mainly concerned with fresh organic foods. These show a discrepancy between attitudes and behavior with people being positive about organic foods but often not purchasing them. This discrepancy seems to be explained by the fact that consumers do not consider “organically produced” to be an important purchase criterion, that organic f…

Commodification, culture and tourism
This article revisits the question of tourism’s role in the commodification of culture. I argue that an acceptance of a cause and effect relationship between tourism and cultural commodification requires an acceptance of a problematic notion of ‘authenticity’. This is because the belief that tourism causes cultural commodification is based on a largely unexamined reliance on Marx’s labor theory of value, source of what Barbara Herrnstein Smith ha…

The influence of initial attitudes on responses to communication about genetic engineering in food production
Public Concerns in the United Kingdom about General and Specific Applications of Genetic Engineering
The repertory grid method was used to determine what terminology respondents use to distinguish between different applications of genetic engineering drawn from food- related, agricultural, and medical applications. Respondents were asked to react to fifteen applications phrased in general terms, and results compared with a second study where fifteen more specific applications were used as stimuli. Both sets of data were submitted to generalized …
Understanding public attitudes to technology
The social context which surrounds technology is likely to be one of the most important determinants of its future development and application. The application of repertory grid techniques (n = 26) in conjunction with generalized Procrustes analysis identified important psychological constructs which determine attitude. A larger survey study (n = 227) examined the reliability and predictive capacity of these items in quantifying attitudes to tech…
An investigation into the relationship between perceived control, attitude variability and the consumption of two common foods
The study reported here takes its lead from the literatures which emphasize the importance of attitude variability and the role of perceived control over action. Within‐person variability and perceptions of control are investigated in the context of people's attitudes towards the consumption of two common foods. The role of attitude ambivalence is also examined. The findings indicate that higher attitude variability is associated with weaker rela…
Perceived behavioural control, unrealistic optimism and dietary change
Moderator effects of attitudinal ambivalence on attitude–behaviour relationships
Attitudinal ambivalence is generally construed as existing when the same attitude object is evaluated simultaneously as both positive and negative. The present research examined the moderating role of attitudinal ambivalence (as assessed by split‐semantic differential measure) on the relationship between bipolar semantic differential measures of attitude and subsequent behaviour using moderated regression analysis. In Study 1, higher levels of at…

Fieldwork Without Remorse
This article reviews the answers posed to the question of travel motivation in recent research. Much of this research, whether in tourism studies or related disciplines such as anthropology, critical theory, and cultural studies, begins by assuming a clear-cut and specific distinction between "travelers" and "tourists" and a more generalized but just as clear distinction between "travelers", "tourists" and "fieldworkers". These distinctions are b…

Expectancy‐value models of attitudes
Concern has been expressed in the literature regarding the method of scoring ‘beliefs’ within expectancy‐value models of attitudes. This paper reviews the major issues and focuses upon some hitherto largely neglected problems with scoring methods. Empirical findings from a series of studies concerned with ‘the theory of reasoned action’ are examined: with a multiplicative Combination of beliefs and evaluations, it is found that bipolar scoring of…

EEG correlates of hemisphere differences during a rapid calculation task
Twenty male subjects performed a continuous task involving response to digit sets. The subject was required to respond to sets containing only odd numbers, and whose sum was greater than or equal to 20. Abundance of both left and right hemisphere EEG was inversely related to the number of odd digits in a set, showing accumulation of cortical arousal in response to cue value. This effect was stronger for the left hemisphere in some of the frequenc…

Preferences for protein and carbohydrate foods following protein and energy supplements
Thirty subjects took part in three experimental conditions where they received a protein supplement of 19 g, an energy supplement of 420 kcal or a placebo. One hour later they completed three food preference questionnaires. These consisted of ratings of momentary liking for a list of twenty foods (half high in protein and half high in carbohydrate), ranking of the 10 foods most liked, and 5 paired preference comparisons between high protein and h…

The use and perceived appropriateness of milk in the diet
The repertory grid method (short structured interviews) was used to study the place milk occupies within the total diet, its perceived appropriateness and people's beliefs concerning different types of milk ("ultra‐high temperature processed” (UHT) versus “fresh” and different levels of fat content) in Finland, France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom (UK). Twenty subjects (10 male, 10 female, 18–74 years) were interviewed in each country. …

Attributing information to different sources
What is salient in risk communication, and what is believed, is likely to be related to factors additional to the informational content itself. The social context or derivation of the information are important determinants of receiver reactions, particularly where the potential hazard is characterized as unknown, or where the knowledge base surrounding the potential hazard is perceived to be at the level of society rather than of individual membe…
Public Perceptions of the Potential Hazards Associated with Food Production and Food Consumption
Although public perceptions of food-related hazards receive much media comment and debate, the research literature on such perceptions is sparse and piecemeal. In the reported study, 216 people completed a questionnaire relating to their perceptions of the "risk characteristics" of potential hazards associated with various aspects of food production and food consumption. Responses were examined via principal-components analysis to obtain a struct…
Meat consumption, definition of meat and trust in information sources in the UK population and members of The Vegetarian Society
A sample of UK residents and members of The Vegetarian Society (TVS) were questioned by postal survey on their consumption of and attitudes towards meat. The related issue of trust in sources for meat‐related information was also addressed. Over 15% of the general population (GP) sample classified themselves as "demi" vegetarians; 28% reported that they were currently reducing meat consumption. However, the demi‐vegetarians consumed a wide variet…
