New Religions and the Mediation of Non-Monogamy examines the
relationship between alternative American religions and the media
representation of non-monogamies on reality-TV shows like Sister
Wives, Seeking Sister Wife, and Polyamory: Married & Dating.
The book is the first full-length study informed by fieldwork with
Mormon polygamists and fieldwork with LGBTQ Neo-Pagan/Neo-Tantric
polyamorists. The book tracks community members’ responses to the
new media about them, their engagement with television and other
media, and the likeness of representations to actual populations
through fieldwork and interviews. The book highlights differences
in socioeconomic privileges that shape Mormon polygamists’ lives
and LGBTQ polyamorists’ lives, respectively. The polyamory
movement receives support from liberal media. As reality TV has
shifted the image of Mormon polygamy to one of liberal American
middle-class culture, Mormon polygamists have gained in public
favor. The media landscape of non-monogamy is mediated by, in
addition to these alternative religious populations, the norms and
practices of the reality-TV industry and by sociocultural and
economic realities, including race and class. This book adds to the
fields of media studies, critical race and gender studies, new
religious movements, and queer studies.

This exciting new book advances current practice-based and
theoretical knowledge around how youth defines and engages with
consumerism to provoke a larger conversation within science and
environmental education. It is also geared towards unveiling those
literacy praxes that can assist youth to adopt more
ethically-oriented consumerist habits. More specifically, this book
studies how youth's participation in the global consumer market
intersects with media technologies, new literacies, as well as
science and the environment from sociocultural perspectives. In
addition, it considers how school science has mediated youth
participation in hyper-consumerism, from food and technology to
shelter and transportation. This important and timely book is a
must-read for those interested in topics such as critical youth
studies, critical media literacy, STEM, arts-based research, STSE
education, citizenship education, cultural studies, policy studies,
curriculum studies, socio-scientific issues, technology,
sustainability, food studies, social justice, poverty, and consumer
behaviour. A wide range of science, technology and environmental
educators from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Netherlands and the
United States have combined their perspectives to produce this
exciting, innovative, timely and important book. It should be
essential reading for all teachers, teacher educators and
curriculum developers keen to address key issues raised by a
commitment to assist students in refining their understanding of
what constitutes socially, culturally, ethically and politically
responsible consumer practices and supporting them in formulating
and engaging in effective individual and collective action. Derek
Hodson, Emeritus Professor of Science Education, Ontario Institute
for Studies in Education (OISE), University of Toronto, Professor
of Science Education at The University of Auckland (New Zealand),
and Founding Editor of the Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics
and Technology Education (CJSMTE). The authors in the book
deconstruct and analyse intricate economic, sociopolitical and
affective networks that are behind the cycles of production,
distribution and consumption of objects that are present in
youngsters' daily lives and their attitudes towards them. Apart
from breaking new ground by proposing and discussing
socioculturally informed research about the topic, the book
connects with pedagogical approaches that value critical
perspectives on the nature of the relationship between science,
technology, society and environment. It is a must-read for both
researchers and practitioners interested in issues related to
sustainability and citizenship education. Isabel Martins, Professor
of Science Education, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro/
