Full text linkThe birth and early years of INA, the International Neurotoxicology Association
No full textAbstractThe International Neurotoxicology Association (INA) is a scientific society whose members have interest and expertise in the discipline of neurotoxicology. The idea of forming INA was born in 1984, as a follow-up to a NATO-sponsored meeting on Toxicology of the Nervous System. INA held its first meeting in the Netherlands in 1987 and has had continuous meetings every other year since then. INA is registered as a scientific society in the Netherlands, and is an affiliated society of IUTOX. This paper presents a personal account of the events that led to the birth of INA, and of the first fifteen years of this association
All together now!:community initiatives engaging in sustainability transformations in the Netherlands
Full text linkThis dissertation explores how community initiatives engage in sustainability transformations. It uses the lenses of self-organization and collective intentionality to understand how community initiatives, formally and informally, formulate their goals, decision making and create everyday governance mechanisms and what that means for the institutional world around them. While community initiatives may not operate fully according to a fully conscious plan and are subject to self-organizational and emergent processes, individuals can be reflexive regarding their norms, values, and beliefs, leading to a collective process of shared wayfinding. Thus, this dissertation shows how initiatives can find their way and remain close to their core norms and values. In doing so, it illustrates how society, in general, can better interact with community initiatives. A key insight of this research is that community initiatives transform the ways of thinking about sustainability for both participants and those interacting with them while also instigating new feelings and actions regarding the pursuit of sustainability. In addition, community initiatives contextualize what sustainability transformations could mean pragmatically, as they, for example, produce their own energy, reconnect with nature, or prevent food waste. At the same time, the processes within community initiatives show how those engaged in initiatives often navigate a sea of opinions and meanings associated with an initiative, its possible role in pursuing sustainability, how it came to be what it is, and how to proceed in the future
