- Electronic Green Journal: Drawing the Sea Near
- The case study captures the larger ideological problem—and subsequent shift—of environmental centered organizations. Their agendas have shifted from manufacturing distance between human activities and the natural ‘other’ that we are assumed to be apart from, to intentionally crafting nearness. In using a highly detailed case study to capture this shift, Claus fulfills an important need of environmental literature: turning the lens to conservation efforts.
- Elizabeth Dulemba: The ABC of It

- Elizabeth Warren Falls for Trump’s Trap—and Promotes Insidious Ideas About Race and DNA
- Within hours of the appearance of the video, Kim TallBear, a professor at the University of Alberta and a leading expert on the use of DNA testing in tribal communities, posted a statement. Sharply critical of Warren’s behavior and publicity surrounding the test, she pointed out that tribal governments have developed an approach for determining who belongs to a tribe that is explicitly not based on the results of DNA tests. Still, she wrote, Warren and her staff “know very well that the broader US public will understand a DNA test to be a true indication of Elizabeth Warren’s right to claim Native American identity in some way.”
