Environment and society
Volume 2 2011
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.
