“…(Cantor 1983, p. 27) A common cause of conflicts amongst humans is due to perceived power differentials (Nibert 2002;Jeong 2008). As we have shown, the conflicts between humans and nonhuman predators, and between Europeans and Africans, were no exception.…”

“…This reinforces the in-group's beliefs and stereotypes of the Other, spurring further subjugation, as the dominating force believes it is morally justified in acting in a demeaning manner towards the perceived inferior (Jeong, 2008). The result is a polarisation of the two beings, where the exploiters lack any empathy towards the exploited (Haddad, 2000).…”

“…Psychologists commonly believe that stereotypes, prejudices and discrimination are caused by individuals in an in-group thinking of themselves as more intelligent, worthy or moral than those in an out-group (Crompton & Kasser, 2009). This out-group (the "Other") is deemed inferior in some way, such as being less valuable or necessary (Jeong, 2008); women, for example, have been oppressed by the men who stereotyped women as emotional, animalistic and weak, and themselves as rational, cultural and intelligent (Plumwood, 2004).

Understanding the human dimensions of coexistence between carnivores and people: A case study in Namibia

Many carnivore populations were in decline throughout much of the 20 th century, but due to recent conservation policies, their numbers are stabilising or even increasing in some areas of the world. This, compounded with human population growth, has caused increased livestock depredation by carnivores, which threatens farmer livelihoods, particularly those in developing countries such as Namibia. How to resolve this so-called "conflict" between carnivores and livestock farmers remains challenging, in part because some mitigation strategies have proven somewhat ineffective or unacceptable. By using a case-study approach on the commercial farmlands of northcentral Namibia, I aimed to understand the complexity of the human dimensions affecting coexistence between carnivores and people in an unprotected working landscape. Specifically, my objectives were to 1) develop a participatory decisionmaking exercise to analyse the views of stakeholders on how they would like carnivores to be managed in unprotected lands, 2) understand how the media framed financial incentives to improve human-carnivore coexistence, and 3) determine if there were any underlying social, economic or political causes of negative human-carnivore interactions on commercial livestock farms.To answer objective 1, I developed a new decision-making exercise that combined Q-methodology and the Delphi technique to determine whether a diverse group of stakeholders could agree on how to manage carnivores on commercial farmland. A strong agreement was reached by participants: providing conservation education and training on livestock husbandry were acceptable and effective ways to improve coexistence with carnivores. This new also method highlighted areas of disagreement between stakeholders and showed that there were two different narratives on how carnivores should be managed. This method could be used by policy makers to help with participatory decision-making for resolving other conservation conflicts.To answer objective 2, I undertook content analysis of national newspapers to determine how the media framed articles on financial incentives to mitigate this conservation conflict. The most common (30%) financial incentive discussed was compensation -many (61%) of these articles framed compensation positively. Niki Rust © 2015However, upon categorising these articles into those where respondents were enrolled in compensation schemes compared with those who were not, a clear pattern emerged: articles were more likely (89%) to be framed ambivalently or negatively when respondents had experience of this financial incentive compared with respondents that did not. These results can help conservationists plan more effective communication interventions and anticipate issues that can affect the success of mitigation strategies.To answer objective 3, I undertook eight months of participant observation on livestock farms and interviewed 69 respondents and found that reported livestock depredation was associated with increased instances of poaching of wildl...

“…Structural violence refers to those social and institutional practices that produce and maintain pervasive and enduring inequalities between groups of people (DeVerteuil, 2015;Gil, 1999), obstruct persons from accessing resources and reaching their full potential (Galtung, 1990) and violate human rights (Jeong, 2008). Understanding the influences of such systemic oppression requires attending to subtle patterns of exclusion and marginalization.…”

Abstract:In this paper, we present some of the results of a youth participatory action research (Y-PAR) project that involved youth aged 16 to 20 who reported being marginalized in their community, primarily due to a lack of stable or consistent housing. Participants met in weekly group meetings to explore the influences of structural violence on their lives. The participants used arts-based methods to express their experiences of inclusion and exclusion, the influences of structural violence in their lives, and how they see those factors contributing to their ability to influence their own visibility in their communities. Themes in their visual arts projects highlighted aspects of visibility of marginalized youth. Youth participants described visibility as both a positive and negative attribute, depending on the youth's need for resources or support. We include examples of the participants' arts projects to demonstrate these themes and descriptions.
