This paper offers a linguistic approach to narrative analysis, illustrated through a quantitative/qualitative lexico-semantic study of sustainability reports by BP, Equinor, ConocoPhillips, and ExxonMobil. It contributes novel insights into how major CO2 emitters present themselves in climate narratives. My aim is, first, to show how the basic…

In this research, it is aimed to reveal the relationship between secondary school teachers' perception of organizational justice and their perception of school climate. The research is a relational descriptive study in which the survey model is used. The sample of the study consists of 370 teachers selected by convenient sampling method among the…

In the current climate crisis, young people are portrayed paradoxically: victims and stakeholders, political protagonists and school truants. Based on ethnographic research with the climate movement, this article explores how youths manage their activism as it interfaces with their socialisation contexts, tracing prevalent adult antagonisms:…

The challenge of climate change means that school education is more important than ever in preparing young people for an uncertain future. The focus of this research is climate change education and its status in the compulsory middle school years (approximately years 7-10) across six countries (Australia, Israel, Finland, Indonesia, Canada and…

The climate crisis is not (merely) a problem of science but also, pre-eminently, a moral and ethical one. Humans alive today are the first with overwhelming data that our modern, industrialised, high-carbon-consumption ways of living threaten the biosphere we depend on, and perhaps the last with meaningful opportunity to avert climate disaster.…

Amy Strachan and Jemima Davey's new book, "Saving the Planet One Science Lesson at a Time" (Strachan and Davey, 2022) uses the UN Sustainable Development Goals (the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all; United Nations, 2015) as a framework to show that science knowledge and skills can support the achievement…

This paper investigates the positive influence of perceived organizational support (POS) on employees' knowledge sharing behavior through their affective commitment. Moreover, it examines the moderating effect of task interdependence, as a situational factor, on this mediating relationship. The results from a total of 222 supervisor-subordinate…

Schools have a vital role to play in helping young people understand and engage with the pressing issues of our time. More effective and engaging climate education can help prepare them to play their part in combatting climate change. Practical science activities, such as those promoted in the CREST Awards hydrology resources described here, can…

The spatial mobility of students and academics as part of the internationalisation of higher education is becoming increasingly relevant in securing top-tier positions, especially within academia. While the number of doctoral candidates is rising, new positions are not created at the same rate, leading to scarcer career opportunities in academia…

Equity-centered trauma-informed practice can benefit not just individuals who have experienced trauma but all members of a campus community. Recent events such as the COVID-19 pandemic have provided space for many students, staff, and faculty to articulate their exhaustion, burnout, discrimination, and/or lack of being valued. These are clear…

Although diversity has been a guiding preoccupation in higher education for several decades, organizational diversity "practice," i.e., what happens when colleges and universities implement diversity plans, is rarely a subject of inquiry. As a result, there is relatively little empirical understanding of why diversity has failed to…

Educational gardens are powerful outdoor learning environments to address the subject of climate change and foster climate action. Using an online questionnaire, this study examines the influence of the main sociodemographic and academic factors, and the role of connectedness to nature, on the perception of educational gardens as contexts of…

Objective: Systems thinking can be counterintuitive to everyday ways of knowing. This can surface doubt around predicted patterns of emergence in complex systems data, especially as it relates to the current climate crisis and related justice-oriented solutions. Method: Our study describes a four-year design-based research project in which we…

Introduction: Climate change is a pressing topic as scientists continue to reveal its links to human activities as contributing factors to its exacerbation. These observations lead global governments to seek initiatives that could mitigate these negative impacts. South Africa's government has attempted to grow knowledge and awareness by…

Purpose and Method of Study: The purpose of this nonexperimental quantitative study was to examine the relationship between level of job satisfaction and perceived organizational support among nonexempt employees at East Central University. A stepwise multiple regression research design was used to investigate the association between the…
