“…Research on social movement framing has traditionally focused on the identification of mobilizing frames (Zuo & Benford, 1995;Cadena-Roa, 2002), factors that affect the development of frames (McCaffrey & Keys, 2000;Rohlinger, 2002) and framing outcomes (Cress & Snow, 2000;McCammon, 2001;Martinez, 2009). To date, there has been very little research carried out on frame variation, except for that which focuses on changes in the way an issue or movement is framed from one point in time to another (Berbrier, 1998;Ferree et al, 2002;Rauch et al, 2007).…”

Framed Encounters with Conservation and Mining Development: Indigenous Peoples' use of Strategic Framing in Suriname

While studies on the use of framing as a strategy for social movements have proliferated in the past 20 years, little is still known about how and why the frames vary across social movement actors and/or events. This article addresses this knowledge lacuna by comparing and contrasting Indigenous peoples' use of rights and identity frames in response to conservation and development events in Suriname. The variation in frames, and possible reasons for these variations, was compared across actors and events by considering (1) alignments of the global Indigenous rights movement with different movements and organizations over time, and (2) participants' level of involvement with national and global Indigenous rights movements. Evidence of strategic frame variation in this study demonstrated Indigenous peoples' ability to creatively and strategically pursue their interests by asserting their collective identity and rights in encounters with conservation and development projects. They accomplished this through the presentation of frames that called into question the logic and fairness of protected areas, their innate capacity to protect the environment, as well as their rights to land, and economic interests in mining. The greater use of rights frames by participants reflected networks generated with human rights organizations. Frame inconsistencies were apparent across conservation and development events that indicated uneven levels of involvement with Indigenous rights movements, which may yet produce unintended consequences for Indigenous communities. However, this case could also signal new possibilities for Indigenous peoples in terms of greater maneuverability in being able to assert their rights and negotiate their identities in relation to conservation and development, and ultimately to gain more power and autonomy over their own affairs.

“…Rising property values have eventually forced out many community gardens (Armstrong, 2000;Voicu and Been, 2008). This issue is especially prevalent in low income neighbourhoods in New York City (Schmelzkopf, 2002;Staeheli et al, 2002;Smith and Kurtz, 2003;Martinez, 2009) and Los Angeles (Barraclough, 2009) where up to 400 community gardens have been closed for redevelopment. Property dynamics and property rights thus play a major role in shaping USA community gardens The question is do community gardens in other countries experience similar issues, and if they do, what impact is this having on agro-biodiversity?…”

Globally, rapid urbanization has substantially reduced the amount of viable agricultural land a food security issue. Food security is bringing a renewed scholarly interest in community gardens. This paper reviews the extent of English academic literature on community gardens, including: who has undertaken the research, where it has been published, the geographical location of the gardens studied, and the various methods used to undertake the research. The characteristics of the community gardens are summarised, including what types of plants are grown, who is involved in the gardens, and who owns the land. The motivations, benefits and limitations of community gardening are also examined. Finally, potential directions for research into community gardens are highlighted. Academic literature on community gardens is dominated by studies investigating gardens in low income areas with diverse cultural backgrounds. Research based in cities in the USA also dominates the literature. Scholars from a wide diversity of disciplines have examined community gardens but research is mostly concentrated in the social sciences. The natural sciences are notably underrepresented, yet they have much to offer including assessing gardening practices to better understand the agro-biodiversity conservation potential of community gardens.

“…As green oases in the city gardens are said to heal rifts between people and nature riven through urbanisation and industrialisation (McClintock, 2010;Turner, 2011), so a New York community garden is described as crystallising the notion of reengaging with nature (von Hassell, 2005). A desire for reconnection is said to drive community gardening's popularity (Firth, Maye, & Pearson, 2011;Guitart et al 2012;McClintock, 2010;Martinez, 2009;Turner, Henryks & Pearson, 2011). The narrative of reconnection promotes community gardens as places offering tangible connections to nonhuman nature (Beilin & Hunter, 2011;Galt, Gray & Hurley, 2014;Kurtz, 2001;Martinez, 2009).…”

Citation for final published version:Pitt, Hannah 2017. Questioning care cultivated through connecting with more-than-human communities. AbstractThis paper challenges the proposition that connecting with nature through direct encounters with nonhumans promotes ethical regard for them. It probes the limits of more-than-human ethics founded on personal encounters which struggle to cross distance and difference. I consider how personal engagement influences ethical perspectives and attend to processes by which care for nonhumans is learnt.Empirical research in community gardens reveals diverse relationships with nonhumans and underlines the importance of attending to qualities of relating. I propose typologies for thinking through more-than-human relationships, organising them according to degree of care. The research finds limits to gardening's potential to promote more care-full relations with others, with care limited by the prevalence of instrumental relationships with nonhumans. Learning to care for nonhumans requires a sense of connection to combine with disconnection gained through reflection, setting specific encounters within the context of more extensive relations and their power dynamics. More important than encounters teaching care for specific nonhuman dependents are those promoting understanding of the interdependent nature of more-than-human communities, and that stimulate reflection on the cumulative impact of a human tendency to forget this.
