Environmental Sociology Now

"This is the book I've been waiting my entire career for! Environmental Sociology Now reflects the power and creativity of the diversity of methods, theories, and scholars doing this important work. This volume demonstrates why environmental sociology is now the leading edge of the entire discipline of sociology."--David N. Pellow, author of What is Critical Environmental Justice? "Individually, the essays in Environmental Sociology Now excite, illuminate, and provoke. Taken together, they offer a rigorous, justice-oriented reappraisal of environmental sociology, one that is taking on the intellectual and political challenges associated with complex environmental problems. A rich and thoughtfully curated volume, full of abundant insight."--Rebecca Elliott, author of Underwater: Loss, Flood Insurance, and the Moral Economy of Climate Change in the United States " Environmental Sociology Now offers an essential field guide to a diverse, dynamic, and rapidly expanding subfield. While other volumes emphasize origin stories and rehearse familiar debates, this book orients readers--whether veteran scholars, curious sociologists from other areas of the discipline, or students just starting out--toward emerging analytical frontiers."--Caleb Scoville, Assistant Professor of Sociology, Tufts University "This rich and expansive volume brings together an impressive list of contemporary scholars to address long-standing and novel questions in environmental sociology. As ecological changes continue apace, Environmental Sociology Now offers an excellent syllabus on studying the environment for established researchers and students alike. It is sure to be a touchstone book for many years to come."--Max Besbris, coauthor of Soaking the Middle Class: Suburban Inequality and Recovery from Disaster "I learned a lot from this collection, which brings together a new generation of researchers researching challenges to the environments. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone interested in understanding frontier research in this field."--Michèle Lamont, Professor of Sociology, Harvard University, and past president of the American Sociological Association
