As a natural scientist working at the social interface (climate effects, impacts, and policy issues) and as the founder and editor of the interdisciplinary journal Climatic Change, I have long been swayed by the arguments of the Science and Technology Studies (S&TS) community that science is not the value-free, objective enterprise it often prides itself as being. Moreover, I have long accepted that not only is it obvious that policy choice is a highly normative enterprise, so too is analysis infused with values—but less so, since these are more of the “what do we choose to analyze ” kind than the “which alternative do we choose ” variety. Furthermore, even “objective science, ” Jacob Bronowski (1965, 62) noted decades ago, needs certain social conditions to flourish. Openness, respect for independence, and willingness

This study investigates the regional benefits and water management actions that might occur if Edwards Aquifer water and agricultural management were conditioned on the phases of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the frequency that it existed from 1970-96. Benefits and water management adjustments would involve changes in agricultural crop mixes and urban water use to exploit systematic climatic changes associated with ENSO. The value of ENSO dependent management ranges from $1.1 to $3.5 million per year depending on initial water level elevations in the aquifer. Exploitation of ENSO events shows potential to help offset the costs of diminishing regional pumping due to legislative mandates. 2 ENSO Impacts on Regional Water Management: A Case Study of the Edwards Aquifer Region

lll This dissertation engages with anthropological debates of the representation of Native peoples in performance through a series of comparative case studies that examine Native North American participation in Wild West shows. Using multi-sited ethnographic and ethnohistorical approaches, it investigates the experiences of some Native performers with the top Wild West shows historically (1885-1930), of three Mohawk families who performed in a variety of spectacles (early 1900s), and of contemporary performers in Wild West show re-creations at EuroDisney (France) and Buffalo Bill Days (Sheridan, Wyoming, U.S.A). This research focuses on Native performers ' perspectives and experiences in order to complicate the picture of exploitation and commercialization in this context. In this dissertation, rather than focusing solely on the production of stereotypes, I trace the extent and various forms of Native agency and expressions
