"Environment and Society" Volume 3 2012 The field of research on
environment and society is growing rapidly and becoming of
ever-greater importance not only in academia but also in policy
circles and for the public at large. This growth reflects the
urgency of debate and the pace and scale of change with respect to
the water crisis, deforestation, biodiversity loss, the looming
energy crisis, nascent resource wars, environmental refugees,
climate change, and environmental justice, which are just some of
the many compelling challenges facing society today and in the
future. It also reflects the richness and insights of scholarship
exploring diverse cultural forms, social phenomena, and
political-economic formations in which society and nature are
intricately intertwined, if not indistinguishable.
Published in association with the Earth Institute of Columbia
University, "Environment and Society" publishes critical reviews of
the latest research literature on environmental studies, including
subjects of theoretical, methodological, substantive, and applied
significance. Articles also survey the literature regionally and
thematically and reflect the work of anthropologists, geographers,
environmental scientists, and human ecologists from all parts of
the world in order to internationalize the conversations within
environmental anthropology, environmental geography, and other
environmentally oriented social sciences. The publication will
appeal to academic, research, and policy-making audiences
alike.
