Environment and Society
Environment and Society
Series editor: Kimberly Smith, Professor of Environmental Studies and Political Science, Carleton College
Environment and Society seeks innovative and interdisciplinary explorations of the ways humans shape the environment, and, in turn, the ways the environment shapes the human experience.
The series will build upon our publishing program’s established strengths in history, politics, law, and public policy, but also seek out explicitly interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary scholarship that speaks to environmental issues. Our goal is to bring new energy and insight to the field of environmental studies with scholarship that brings together ideas and methods from across disciplinary divides in a productive conversation about important issues.
We seek books that orient us to the future by incisive new narratives of the past, or which are forward looking, offering bold policy innovations and fresh directions for social change. To accomplish this, the books will be written in a style which invites scholars, policy makers, and engaged citizens to participate in the shared pursuit of a better understanding of the environmental challenges we all face.
