In response to student demands reflecting the urgency of societal
and ecological problems, universities are making a burgeoning
effort to infuse environmental sustainability efforts with social
justice. In this edited volume, we extend calls for higher
education leaders to revamp programming, pedagogy, and research
that problematically reproduce dominant techno-scientific and
managerial conceptualizations of sustainability. Students, staff
and community partners, especially those from historically
underrepresented and marginalized groups, are at the forefront of
calls for critical sustainabilities programming, education and
collaborations. Their work centers themes of power relations,
(in)equity, accessibility, and social (in)justice to study the
interrelationships between humans, non-humans, and the environment.
Their voices, perspectives and lived experiences are provocations
for institutions to think and act more expansively. This book
amplifies some of these voices and bottom up efforts toward a more
critical approach to sustainability on campus. We ground our
recommendations on findings from campus-wide surveys that were
taken by over 8,000 undergraduates in 2016, 2019, and 2022.
Furthermore, we share the design principles and lessons learned
from several innovative, award-winning initiatives designed to
foster critical sustainabilities at UC Santa Cruz.Â
This book addresses the political ecology of the Ecuadorian
petro-state since the turn of the century and contextualizes
state-civil society relations in contemporary Ecuador to produce an
analysis of oil and Revolution in twenty-first century Latin
America. Ecuador's recent history is marked by changes in
state-citizen relations: the election of political firebrand,
Rafael Correa; a new constitution recognizing the value of
pluriculturality and nature's rights; and new rules for
distributing state oil revenues. One of the most emblematic
projects at this time is the Correa administration's Revolucion
Ciudadana, an oil-funded project of social investment and
infrastructural development that claims to blaze a responsible and
responsive path towards wellbeing for all Ecuadorians. The
contributors to this book examine the key interventions of the
recent political revolution-the investment of oil revenues into
public works in Amazonia and across Ecuador; an initiative to keep
oil underground; and the protection of the country's most
marginalized peoples-to illustrate how new forms of citizenship are
required and forged. Through a focus on Amazonia and the Waorani,
this book analyzes the burdens and opportunities created by
oil-financed social and environmental change, and how these alter
life in Amazonian extraction sites and across Ecuador.
