Citations in the corpus

• Still Feeling the Car – The Role of Comfort in Sustaining Private Car Use (2015, background): “It is unfortunate that in practice theory’s aversion to the ‘undersocialized methodological individualism of the behavioural models’ (Hargreaves 2011, 82), subjective experiences of practices are often avoided.”
• New needs for better understanding of household's energy consumption – behaviour, lifestyle or practices? (2014, background): “It is this line of thinking that has now led to the establishment of a practice theoretical framework for understanding energy consumption in everyday life (Gram-Hanssen, 2010a, 2010b, 2011; Hargreaves, 2011; Røpke, 2009; Røpke, Christensen, & Jensen, 2010; Shove &Walker, 2010; Strengers, 2010).”
• Tensions in Corporate Sustainability: Towards an Integrative Framework (2014, neutral): “With such synthesis strategies the focus shifts away from opposing agendas towards the on-going practice of organising and performing corporate sustainability activities (Hargreaves 2011).”
• Lifestyle Practices and Proenvironmental Technology (2012, background): “…in novel pro-environmental practices can stimulate an individual's consideration of a sustainability-oriented lifestyle and identity, as observed in consumer trials of plug-in hybrid vehicle vehicles (Axsen and Kurani, 2012) and participation in a low-carbon workplace program (Hargreaves, 2011).”
• What Is Energy For? Social Practice and Energy Demand (2014, methodology): “In taking this approach to heart, we differ from those who mobilize practice-based terminology in the energy field, but who do so as a means of revealing differences in people’s use of energy, whether at home or at work (Gram-Hanssen, 2010, 2011; Hargreaves, 2011).”
• Transition heuristic frameworks in research on agro-food sustainability transitions (2020, background): “The Social Practices Approach (SPA) bridges individual lifestyles and socio-technical systems (Hargreaves 2011; Moore 2015).”
• Analysing cycling as a social practice: An empirical grounding for behaviour change (2015, methodology): “It enables this by conceptualising practice in the abstract (Hargreaves, 2011; Shove et al., 2012; Wilson & Chatterton, 2011) and not by treating behaviour as something for which individuals are ‘responsible’.”
