Written by the co-founder and former board president of a
non-profit shared-use commercial kitchen, Understanding Just
Sustainabilities from Within presents an intersectional analysis of
CLiCK (Commercially Licensed Co-operative Kitchen), in order to
explore what just sustainabilities can look and feel like from
within and without. Through a unique combination of
autoethnography, participant observation, surveys, and secondary
research, this book offers insights into CLiCK’s micro and macro
successes, failures, and unknowns in relation to its attempt to put
the concept of just sustainabilities into daily practice, and
praxis. Developing its practical analyses from a theoretical basis,
this book does not focus on definitive answers, recognizing instead
that the closest we can get to understanding just sustainabilities
in praxis is through long-term collective struggle and ultimately
love. Researchers and educators who are interested in linking
theory with practice, especially in relation to just
sustainabilities and intersectionality, will appreciate the
theoretical grounding, making it desirable for multiple social
science classes. Additionally, those involved with the social
justice, food justice, and just sustainabilities movements will
benefit from the book’s insights into best practices to address
issues of social inequalities on the micro level, while also
offering the benefits of a macro intersectional analysis.

It must be acknowledged that any solutions to anthropogenic Global
Climate Change (GCC) are interdependent and ultimately inseparable
from both its causes and consequences. As a result, limited
analyses must be abandoned in favour of intersectional theories and
practices. Emergent Possibilities for Global Sustainability is an
interdisciplinary collection which addresses global climate change
and sustainability by engaging with the issues of race, gender, and
class through an intersectional lens. The book challenges readers
to foster new theoretical and practical linkages and to think
beyond the traditional, and oftentimes reductionist, environmental
science frame by examining issues within their turbulent political,
cultural and personal landscapes. Through a variety of media and
writing styles, this collection is unique in its presentation of a
complex and integrated analysis of global climate change and its
implications. Its companion book, Systemic Crises of Global Climate
Change, addresses the social and ecological urgency surrounding
climate change and the need to use intersectionality in both theory
and practice. This book is a valuable resource for academics,
researchers and both undergraduate and post-graduate students in
the areas of Environmental Studies, Climate Change, Gender Studies
and International studies as well as those seeking a more
intersectional analysis of GCC.
Sociological literature tends to view the social categories of
race, class and gender as distinct and has avoided discussing how
multiple intersections inform and contribute to experiences of
injustice and inequity. This limited focus is clearly inadequate.
Systemic Crises of Global Climate Change is an edited volume of 49
international, interdisciplinary contributions addressing global
climate change (GCC) by intentionally engaging with the issues of
race, gender, and class through an intersectional lens. The volume
challenges and inspires readers to foster new theoretical and
practical linkages and think beyond the traditional, and oftentimes
reductionist, environmental science frame by examining issues
within their turbulent political, cultural, and personal
landscapes. Varied media and writing styles invite students and
educators to reflexively engage different, yet complementary,
approaches to GCC analysis and interpretation, mirroring the
disparate voices and viewpoints within the field. The second
volume, Emergent Possibilities for Sustainability will take a
similar approach but will examine the possibilities for solutions,
as in the quest for global sustainability. This book is a valuable
resource for academics, researchers and both undergraduate and
post-graduate students in the areas of Environmental Studies,
Climate Change, Gender Studies and International studies as well as
those seeking a more intersectional analysis of GCC.

At a time when environmental and social stakes are at their highest
- with rising crises and contradictions at the nexus of a building
sense of environmental and social collapse - there are no easy
solutions. Global Im-Possibilities explores just what can be done
around the world to ameliorate this dynamic. Using a range of
essays and a multitude of case studies, this book explores what new
lessons can be learned from examining the challenges and
impediments to achieving just sustainabilities on the levels of
policy, planning, and practice, and considers how these challenges
and impediments can be addressed by individuals and/or governments.
Taking a nuanced approach to provide an intersectional analysis of
a particular issue relating to the ideals for achieving
sustainability, this book asserts that that it is only in
recognizing such complexity that we can hope to achieve just
sustainabilities.
