Thresholds: The metaphorical foundations of powerful knowledge

The Curriculum Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper advances a theoretical account of threshold concepts as metaphorical‐relational structures that reorganise meaning across contexts.

Scale‐dependent assembly shapes taxon‐dependent responses of soil microbes to island isolation and area

Ecography, EarlyView.
The theory of island biogeography (TIB) remains contentious for microbes, as their immense dispersal potential and microscopic size may decouple diversity from classic isolation/area effects. We explicitly tested TIB scaling rules for soil bacteria and fungi across 20 oceanic islands using a rigorous multi‐scale framework that integrated high ...

How Multiple Streams Influence Agenda‐Setting for Water Reuse in Swiss Substates

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As climate change creates significant challenges for both the environment and society, potential mitigation and adaptation solutions are widely discussed. Yet, neither challenges nor their potential solutions automatically reach the political agenda or lead to a policy decision.

The Role of Trade Unions in Environmental Governance: Exploring Workers Legitimacy Judgments

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Trade unions are increasingly expected to play a role in sustainability transitions, but their legitimacy as environmental governance actors remains underexplored. Our study uses a multidimensional framework to examine how workers, both union members and non‐members, evaluate trade union legitimacy “from below.” This framework distinguishes ...
