social capital and sustainability in a community under threat
Local Environment, 2007Co-Authors: Melissa Edwards, Jenny OnyxAbstract:Abstract Engaging with dialogue concerning the relevance and applicability of social capital to a model of sustainable community development, we illustrate an in-depth case of a community experiencing an ideological clash with the dominant politico-societal structures. We argue that while the exclusivity of bonding social capital has been described as the ‘dark side’, it may be essential for progressive sustainable community development (PSCD). When faced with a development threat, such bonds are essential for building links, bridges and solidarity, enabling Cultural Reproduction and promoting environmental protection for sustainability.

vegaphobia derogatory discourses of veganism and the Reproduction of speciesism in uk national newspapers
British Journal of Sociology, 2011Co-Authors: Matthew Cole, Karen MorganAbstract:This paper critically examines discourses of veganism in UK national newspapers in 2007. In setting parameters for what can and cannot easily be discussed, dominant discourses also help frame understanding. Discourses relating to veganism are therefore presented as contravening commonsense, because they fall outside readily understood meat-eating discourses. Newspapers tend to discredit veganism through ridicule, or as being difficult or impossible to maintain in practice. Vegans are variously stereotyped as ascetics, faddists, sentimentalists, or in some cases, hostile extremists. The overall effect is of a derogatory portrayal of vegans and veganism that we interpret as ‘vegaphobia’. We interpret derogatory discourses of veganism in UK national newspapers as evidence of the Cultural Reproduction of speciesism, through which veganism is dissociated from its connection with debates concerning nonhuman animals' rights or liberation. This is problematic in three, interrelated, respects. First, it empirically misrepresents the experience of veganism, and thereby marginalizes vegans. Second, it perpetuates a moral injury to omnivorous readers who are not presented with the opportunity to understand veganism and the challenge to speciesism that it contains. Third, and most seriously, it obscures and thereby reproduces exploitative and violent relations between human and nonhuman animals.

our children and other animals the Cultural construction of human animal relations in childhood
2014Co-Authors: Matthew Cole, Kate StewartAbstract:Focusing on the socialization of the human use of other animals as resources in contemporary Western society, this book explores the Cultural Reproduction of human-nonhuman animal relations in childhood. With close attention to the dominant practices through which children encounter animals and mainstream representations of animals in children's culture - whether in terms of the selective exposure of children to animals as pets or as food in the home or in school, or the representation of animals in mass media and social media - Our Children and Other Animals reveals the interconnectedness of studies of childhood, culture and human-animal relations. In doing so it establishes the importance of human-animal relations in sociology, by describing the sociological importance of animals in children's lives and children in animals’ lives. Presenting a new typology of the various kinds of human-animal relationship, this conceptually innovative book constitutes a clear demonstration of the relevance of sociology to the interdisciplinary field of human-animal relations and will appeal to readers across the social sciences with interests in sociology, childhood studies, Cultural and media studies and human-animal interaction.

Cultural and educational careers the dynamics of social Reproduction
American Sociological Review, 1997Co-Authors: Karen Aschaffenburg, Ineke MaasAbstract:Using data from the Surveys of Public Participation in the Arts conducted in 1982, 1985 and 1992, the authors analyze the relationship between Cultural careers and educational careers. Drawing on ideas of Cultural Reproduction (Bourdieu) and Cultural mobility (DiMaggio), they formulate two competing sets of hypotheses regarding the importance of high brow Cultural capital at different ages on the likelihood of making particular educational transitions. They find that Cultural capital plays a strong role in determining school success. The effects of parental Cultural capital, Cultural participation before age 12 and Cultural participation between ages 12 to 17 and 18 to 24 are largely independent and have enduring effects across the educational career. All Cultural effects decline over the course of the educational career. The context of participation is significant - Cultural participation in school has less of an effect on educational success than does participation elsewhere. Generally, they find stronger support for the Cultural mobility model, although social Reproduction still governs the most important educational transition - entering college
