A bit about what I'm all about!! #rangelandsocialscience #climateadaptation

Our article on range riding in @VoiceofWLA's Research Roundup! Thanks, WLA, for sharing relevant science with your network! #scicomm #workinglands onland.westernlandowners.org…
What values drive regenerative agriculture (RA)? 🌱 In our new study, we reviewed the RA literature to understand how relational values—those rooted in human-nature connections—shape RA, moving beyond practice- and outcome- oriented definitions. link.springer.com/article/10…
New paper on how ag produers use local knowledge, climate information, and on-farm experiments to address drought risk. Check it out! link.springer.com/10.1007/s1…
New paper out on beef + sustainability, a complex topic indeed! We examined *U.S. beef producer perspectives,* highlighting the key components and constraints they perceive to achieving desirable sustainability outcomes in the industry. doi.org/10.1007/s43621-024-0…
Headed to SRM next week?? Mark your cal for this symposium session where we’ll present on the “3M” project, a multidisciplinary, collaborative research effort on grazinglands across the US @rangelands
Come chat poetry and multispecies ethnography in science on the range!! Less than a week away at SRM 2024. @rangelands @hnw2 @H_Gosnell @drethangordon
New paper out!! "Social dimensions of adaptation to climate change in rangelands: a systematic literature review" @libbymetcalf

More of this kind of conference pls!! What a great day with producers, managers, and scientists gathered together (around a soil pit) @HLRanch to talk about range mgmt and monitoring. Today we discuss markets and policy! @WoodwellClimate
New paper!! We looked at the use of monitoring and other adaptive mgmt practices among MT ranchers, finding that monitoring may be an important feedback tool, but we need to know more about what kind of monitoring will be useful AND used!

Howdy, WY! Last round of interviews for the @FoundationFAR @nobleresinst project linking soil/env health, grazing mgmt, and producer well-being is closer to home in this complex, vast, semi-arid, public-private-tribal land tenure context! And it has ok sunsets. :)
If you are at @PathwaysCon, come connect at this session today! Excited to share about the Indigenous Kinship Circle, a project with the Central Grasslands Roadmap, that centers Indigenous knowledge and leadership to inform grasslands conservation and resilience.
I attended my 10 (!!) yr reunion at @Wellesley and got to catch up with my Env Studies thesis advisor, Dr. Jay Turner, who supported and inspired my love of SES/env soc sci research. Immensely grateful for the wonderful mentors I’ve had (and hope to pay it forward)!
You know those people who are the GLUE that holds a collaborative project together? Micaela, one of our regional proj managers, is one of those people. So fun to meet in person at the @nobleresinst campus in OK in between rancher interviews!!
…and that’s a wrap for interviews with farmers/ranchers in Michigan!! As part of the @FoundationFAR and @nobleresinst 3M project, @ethan_m_gordon and I are learning lots about grazing management and decision-making in this sandy, green, Great Lakes state.
Continually in awe of the women I get to work with - like these sharp, hard-working, and fun “Wild Women of Range” I got to see at SRM in Boise last month! #InternationalWomensDay @rangelands #WildWomenofRange
It’s time for some “Social Science on the Range” today! Can’t wait! @rangelands #SRM

Have you heard of RELATIONALITY or RELATIONAL THINKING, and wondered what that really meant?
It is supposed to be an antidote to over-reductionist thinking
Empirical examples might help. check out our NEW PAPER in @PaN_BES led by @HaroldEyster : besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…

Are you working on #Resilient #FoodSystems? Interested in presenting at @RGS_IBG Annual Conference this year? @DrRStClair & I are organizing a session on 'Building and conceptualising resilient food systems for a climate-changed world' and the call is open till Feb 19th!
Registration is open for the 2023 Montana’s Next Gen Conference offering 36 (!!) workshops for producers. MT Drought & Climate will present what we learned about how producers are impacted by and responding to drought. @mt_climate mtnextgen.com/
