Ryan, Sean; Gismondi, Mike; Hanson, Lorelei L.
There are 12 conservation land trust organizations
(CLTOs) in the province of Alberta, Canada that actively
steward land. Together they have protected over 1.09 million
hectares of land. Using in-depth interview data with published
documents on CLTOs, this paper examines how CLTOs make
decisions as to which projects to pursue and the kinds of
justifications they offer for the projects they have completed.
We identify 13 aspects that such a decision-making process
should contain. The CLTOs studied have, to some degree,
incorporated 7 of them. The remaining 6 aspects could easily
be contributing substantially to some of the main the challenges
identified in both the literature and our own research
regarding private land conservation. Consequently, we recommend
developing a robust landscape-scale approach to private
land conservation, communicating that approach to all
CLTOs, and increasing cooperation among CLTOs and between
them and government.

Gismondi, Mike
Political struggle at the local level is out of fashion. In today’s increasingly “globalized” world, appeals to the local can often appear parochial and tradition-bound. Determining whether effective political responses to ecological sustainability and social justice could come from the local level requires us to revisit the somewhat discredited, often forgotten place called municipal politics.

Gismondi, Mike
The paper indicates how a critical sociology could contribute to environmental impact assessment (EIA). It argues how sociologists must become involved in evaluating the EIA process itself. Topics examined include: how EIA excludes and frames social issues; why social science should precede natural science; the social construction of impact science; bias and the circulation of EIA consultants; and fairness when talking in public hearings. The author proposes an activist role for sociologists. Many EIA conventions described in this paper are examples of knowledge as a discursive source of power. Applied to EIA hearings, conversation analysis and discourse analysis could pry open conventions and suggest tactics for lay people, minorities and women to overcome obstacles, and make the hearing process more fair. The role for critical sociology in EIA that author has outlined is not neutral, or cloaked in claims to objectivity. It begins from the premise that knowledge is socially constructed.

Gismondi, Mike; Sosteric, Michael; Ratkovic, Gina
The academy, like many public and private institutions before it, has been colonised by the discourses of consumerism, efficiency, and market discipline. By now it is a familiar trend and, as many countries have experienced the neo-right assault on the public sector, a familiar discourse. In this paper we examine the implications of this colonisation suggesting how effects penetrate the very core of the university. Access by all social classes to higher education, pedagogical effectiveness, and even the possibility of critical inquiry are under systematic attack. The situation appears grim. Yet we now approach a critical historical juncture where resistance is becoming increasingly possible and probable. Towards that end, strategies are suggested for resisting the colonisation and reclaiming the academic public space.
