Teaching Urban Sociology and Urban Sustainability on Two Feet, Two Wheels, and in Three Cities: Our Experience Teaching Sustainable Cities in North America
In: Teaching sociology: TS, Band 38, Heft 4, S. 301-313
ISSN: 1939-862X
The authors describe their experiences teaching Sustainable Cities in North America, a course on both urban sociology and urban sustainability. This course brought students to Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, British Columbia, and then compared those cities with Minneapolis, Minnesota, on various dimensions of urban sustainability. After connecting this course to existing sociological scholarship on teaching urban sociology and travel–study abroad, the authors describe their course "in action": what they did, why it was (and was not) "green," and an assessment of the course, including postcourse actions and institutional changes that the course inspired. The authors conclude with a call for more "green" sociology courses and travel–study abroad courses as innovative and exciting ways to teach sociology and to further the discipline's commitment to ethical environmental actions.
Pluralism or State Autonomy? The Case of Amnesty International (British Section): The Insider/Outsider Group
In: Political studies: the journal of the Political Studies Association of the United Kingdom, Band 42, Heft 1, S. 15-24
ISSN: 1467-9248
This paper presents a case study of Amnesty International's relationship with the British Government. It demonstrates that Amnesty has a close working relationship with the Foreign Office over human rights violations abroad but is excluded from policy formation with regard to human rights in Britain. The differential treatment accorded to this legitimate group within different policy networks is discussed with regard to pluralist and state autonomy theories. It concludes that present accounts of pluralism cannot be empirically differentiated from reasonable theories of state autonomy.

Framing the Adaptation Gap Report
In: Magnan , A , Christiansen , L & Neufeldt , H 2021 , Framing the Adaptation Gap Report . in Adaptation Gap Report 2021 - The Gathering Storm . pp. 7-12 .
The Adaptation Gap Report AGR2021 builds on the framing first introduced in the 2020 edition of the report to further advance knowledge on adaptation progress around the world. It focuses on adaptation progress at the global and national scales, relying primarily on publications from national governments (for example, documents submitted under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change [UNFCCC] process). It has also expanded the sources of information to include recent peer-reviewed scientific literature and reports by multilateral organizations and think tanks. This chapter frames the report both in terms of the climate risk context within which adaptation is taking place (section 2.2) and the conceptual and methodological approach used to understand adaptation progress (section 2.3).

BACKGROUND: Levels of physical activity and variation in physical activity and sedentary time by place and person in European children and adolescents are largely unknown. The objective of the study was to assess the variations in objectively measured physical activity and sedentary time in children and adolescents across Europe. METHODS: Six databases were systematically searched to identify pan-European and national data sets on physical activity and sedentary time assessed by the same accelerometer in children (2 to 9.9 years) and adolescents (≥10 to 18 years). We harmonized individual-level data by reprocessing hip-worn raw accelerometer data files from 30 different studies conducted between 1997 and 2014, representing 47,497 individuals (2-18 years) from 18 different European countries. RESULTS: Overall, a maximum of 29% (95% CI: 25, 33) of children and 29% (95% CI: 25, 32) of adolescents were categorized as sufficiently physically active. We observed substantial country- and region-specific differences in physical activity and sedentary time, with lower physical activity levels and prevalence estimates in Southern European countries. Boys were more active and less sedentary in all age-categories. The onset of age-related lowering or leveling-off of physical activity and increase in sedentary time seems to become apparent at around 6 to 7 years of age. CONCLUSIONS: Two third of European children and adolescents are not sufficiently active. Our findings suggest substantial gender-, country- and region-specific differences in physical activity. These results should encourage policymakers, governments, and local and national stakeholders to take action to facilitate an increase in the physical activity levels of young people across Europe.
