The Implications of Victimhood Identity: The Case of 'Persecution' of Swedish HuntersVon Essen, Erica, Allen, Michael P. 01 June 2017 (has links)
This ethnographically based study examines Swedish hunters' claims to victimhood through appeal to the term 'persecution'. Perceiving disenfranchisement, injustice and discrimination on the basis of wolf conservation policy, we present hunters' self-styled predicament as victimhood-claimants of persecution at the hands of a state that has been co-opted by a conservationist, pro-wolf agenda that systematically disenfranchises rural and hunting interests and lifestyles. Through the phenomenological accounts of hunter respondents, our paper takes seriously the hunters' perception of persecution and, likewise, considers the opposite case made by conservationists: that wolves have been, and continue to be, the real victims of persecution in the conflict. Nonetheless, we show that the persecution language as it is applied from opposing parties in the conflict is problematic inasmuch as it is focused around creating a moral panic and confusion among the Swedish public who are ultimately responsible, as a democratic body-politic, for assessing the legitimacy of claims to moral wrong-doing and legal redress for the wronged. Our case study joins scholarship that explores the pathologies of claims to victimization by populist rural interest groups in the context of controversial conservation directives.

A Conservationist Takes Flight: the Early Career of William Lovell Finley, 1887-1911Myles, Carey Elizabeth 21 September 2017 (has links)
William Lovell Finley was an American conservationist active in Oregon and California from 1894 to 1947. He was president of the Oregon Audubon Society and a field representative for the National Audubon Society. He also served as Oregon State Game Warden, State Biologist and as a Commissioner on the Oregon State Fish and Game Commission. He wrote for ornithology journals and popular magazines, was an early wildlife field photographer, and made wildlife films. This thesis examines the Finley's career from 1887 to 1911 to demonstrate how Finley, as a self-taught naturalist, forged a professional identity and became part of a social and professional network of conservationists. Using Finley's correspondence and published pieces the thesis presents a detailed account of his photography partnership with Herman T. Bohlman, a Portland plumber and artist, and of Finley's involvement in three ornithology organizations, the Northwest Ornithology Association, the Cooper Ornithological Club, and the National Audubon Society.

Continuing educational needs of state agency fish and wildlife biologistsMurphy, William F. 06 June 2008 (has links)
Fishery and wildlife biologists employed by state fish and wildlife agencies were surveyed to determine their continuing education needs related to specific job tasks. In addition, proficiency levels required for job tasks were rated. An organizational analysis was also conducted to ascertain agency climate for support of continuing education programs.
Forty-seven state fish and wildlife agencies responded to the organizational analysis. Agencies valued their employees and understand the benefits of continuing education, but did not allocate many resources to support programs. A positive climate does not presently exist for the development and implementation of continuing education programs. Continuing education was not an important part of state fish and game agencies’ organizational culture.
Differences in continuing education needs of fishery and wildlife biologist have little correlation to undergraduate/graduate curricula, highest degrees attained, or length in the profession. Biologists’ greatest needs for continuing education related to technical tasks in research/data collection and analysis, and specifically computer and software usage. Other continuing education needs were related to population and habitat tasks. Biologists identified low proficiency levels needed for modeling and genetic tasks, but indicated a high need for continuing education.
Continuing education needs for non-technical tasks related to communication, interpersonal relations, management and leadership skills were rated significantly higher by agency administration than fishery and wildlife biologists. Additional data were provided on proficiency levels identified for job tasks. Recommendations are made to state fish and wildlife agencies, providers of continuing education programming, and university faculty. / Ph. D.
