Being objective: How Mr Nowhere. threatens the success of co-management
No full textIn chapter 13, “Being Objective: How Mr Nowhere Threatens the Success of Co-management,” Jennifer Jill Fellows considers the peculiar problems that arise when managing the environment with diverse stakeholders. Fellows’s focus is the current co-management projects in the Canadian Arctic, where Indigenous knowledge is frequently questioned or dismissed as unscientific or lacking objectivity. Fellows argues that this treatment of Indigenous knowledge undermines the trust necessary to effectively co-manage the Arctic. While we ought to reject the specific concept of objectivity understood as knowledge gathered from a “view from nowhere,” we should embrace a concept of objectivity from a particular perspective.Published

Determining the Winner of a Dodgson Election is Hard
No full textComputing the Dodgson Score of a candidate in an election is a hard computational problem, which has been analyzed using classical and parameterized analysis. In this paper we resolve two open problems regarding the parameterized complexity of DODGSON SCORE. We show that DODGSON SCORE parameterized by the target score value does not have a polynomial kernel unless the polynomial hierarchy collapses to the third level; this complements a result of Fellows, Rosamond and Slinko who obtain a non-trivial kernel of exponential size for a generalization of this problem. We also prove that DODGSON SCORE parameterized by the number of votes is hard for
Downstream of the experts: Trust-building and the case of MPAs
No full textIn this paper Dr. Fellow's examines Grasswick’s theory of trust-building through knowledge-sharing across the scientific–lay divide. Dr. Fellows applies this theory to the case of scientific–lay interactions in the development of marine protected areas (MPAs). This case-study not only supports Grasswick’s work, but suggests one friendly amendment to her theory. When it comes to trust-building through knowledge-sharing, the case of MPAs demonstrates that this sharing must be reciprocal.Peer reviewedFinal article published
Network analysis of econometric society fellows
No full textBeing elected as an Econometric Society Fellow is one of the greatest honors for an economist. In this paper, we see whether the Fellows are well-connected. We collected the Fellows' publication records and the institutions where they work to analyze their co-author and co-worker networks. Although there are more than 80 years between the foundation of the Society and the last elected Fellows, the vast majority of the Fellows are connected either directly or indirectly. The average distance between the connected Fellows is 2.4 in the co-worker network and 4.4 in the co-author network. We also find that the percentage of connected Fellows has increased through time. Therefore, the percentage of Fellows who have not co-authored a paper with another Fellow or have not worked in the same institution with another Fellow is decreasing over time
