SDGs and IPCC Cities offer an unprecedented opportunity for a transformative urban agenda. This also requires bold, integrated action to address constraints imposed by economic, cultural, and political dynamics. We move beyond a narrow, techno-centric view and identify five key knowledge pathways needed to catalyze urban transformation. While the topic of urban responses to climate change has been on the research agenda for the past two decades, 1 it has only slowly made its way onto the global stage, and is now at a critical juncture
The concepts of alternative forms of organization and organizing are germane to organizational studies writ large and to the subfield of organizational communication. Here we interrogate the ambiguity of the terms themselves while also considering the family resemblances of organizational forms under this rubric. The discussion proceeds with an explanation of values, principles, and models of alternative organizations and organizing. A variety of research exemplars are cited. Issues for further research are identified throughout.
Mapping out the eight main nodes of nanotechnology discourse that have emerged in the past decade, we explore how various scientific, social, and ethical islands of discussion have developed, been recognized, and are being continually renegotiated. We do so by (1) identifying the ways in which scientists, policy makers, entrepreneurs, educators, and environmental groups have drawn boundaries on issues relating to nanotechnology; (2) describing concisely the perspectives from which these boundaries are drawn; and (3) exploring how boundaries on nanotechnology are marked and negotiated by various nodes of nanotechnology discourse.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
