Description
Summary:The first pages provide a useful conceptualisation of the Symbolic Interactionist paradigm within a multi-disciplinary research team: "Interaction among group members involves the search for consensus over the nature and potential solutions to the problems at hand. An analysis of Miami's sea-level rise," Mitchell Kiefer analyses how expertise can address and conceptualize ongoing issues related to climate change and sea-level in Florida. Kiefer argues that whenever experts and social scientists are working together within a community, "socioenvironmental problems often facilitate the politicization of social problems, when new social relations may be forged" (p. 67).
