A Mellified Redemption? Learning to Live with a Pest Through Spotted Lanternfly Honey
In this article, we use lanternfly honey as a prism to explore the economic and ecological entanglements of living with invasivity among the more-than-human world. As the spotted lanternfly (SLF) spreads across the United States, public messaging tends to frame it as an ecological nemesis that demands eradication and strict control measures. Yet the lanternfly’s excretions also can result in a bountiful production of spotted lanternfly honey, whi…
Freeing transdisciplinarity from the project straightjacket: Reframing the problem
Confronting systemic problems in ecological and socio-technical systems requires transcending traditional reductionist approaches and disciplinary silos. Transdisciplinarity (TD) is frequently proposed and embraced as a way of organizing science so that it is better suited to approach wicked problems, and science funders are increasingly interested in investing in large scale integrated initiatives. Achieving effective coordination and cooperatio…
The Global Environmental Politics of Resistance, Revisited
In the inaugural issue of Global Environmental Politics, three scholars debated how social movements could or should address the role of resistance in environmental politics. In this essay, we revisit and renew dialogue around the scholarship of resistance for environmental politics. This intervention serves to reignite discussion and scholarship about resistance in our current conjuncture. We suggest that environmental research should address th…
Centering diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice in environmental studies and sciences by practicing compassionate pedagogies
Dismantling white supremacy in environmental studies and sciences: An argument for anti-racist and decolonizing pedagogies
Many academic disciplines are presently striving to reveal and dismantle structures of domination by working to reform and reimagine their curricula, and the ethics and values that underpin classroom settings. This trend is impelled by momentum from the Black Lives Matter movement in tandem with a worldwide call from Indigenous scholars and their allies for more equality in research and epistemological plurality. We contribute to such efforts thr…
The Fracking Frontier in the United States: A Case Study of Foreign Investment, Civil Liberties and Land Ethics in the Shale Industry
This article provides a fresh perspective on the unconventional oil and gas (hydraulic fracturing or 'fracking') industry in the Appalachian and Midwestern regions of the United States. It presents a case study of this industry in relation to development, democracy and the environment. The article utilizes neocolonialism as a heuristic device and analyses the fracking industry in relation to processes of capital expansion in resource frontiers. I…
Beekeeping in, of or for the city? A socioecological perspective on urban apiculture
The term ‘urban beekeeping’ connotes a host of meanings—sociopolitical, commercial, ecological and personal—beyond the mere description of where bees and beekeepers happen to coincide. Yet, these meanings are seldom articulated explicitly or brought into critical engagement with the relevant fields of urban ecology and political ecology. Beginning with a brief account of the history of urban beekeeping in the United States, we draw upon urban eco…
Energy Security, International Investment, and Democracy: The Case of the United States Shale Oil and Gas Industry
Proponents of the US shale oil and gas industry argued that American citizens’ economic prosperity and national security were at stake if the industry was not rapidly expanded. Following copious amounts of a certain type of “patriotic” rhetoric, the industry grew rapidly. Simultaneously, foreign ownership of US shale industry infrastructure occurred in tandem with calls for new policies and laws to limit US citizens’ democratic rights with regard…
From Urban Resilience to Abolitionist Climate Justice in Washington, DC
What would abolitionism mean for climate justice? "Resilience" is proposed by experts as a solution to climate change vulnerability. But this prescription tends to focus on adaptation to future external threats, subtly validating embedded processes of racial capitalism that have historically dehumanised and endangered residents and their environments in the first place. This article focuses on majority Black areas said to be vulnerable to extreme…
Development blind spots and environmental impact assessment: Tensions between policy, law and practice in Brazil's Xingu river basin
Justice is the goal: Divestment as climate change resistance
Passive revolution in the green economy: Activism and the Belo Monte dam
Contradictions of Green Development: Human Rights and Environmental Norms in Light of Belo Monte Dam Activism
This paper offers a historical examination of the ways in which advocacy strategies and tactics have shifted in relation to political opportunities, using a case study of a hydroelectric dam project in the Brazilian Amazon, known as the Belo Monte Dam. Drawing on over three decades of resistance by transnational activist coalitions, the paper looks at how new tactics and political alignments have altered the dynamics of activism and norm diffusio…
Development's Paradox: Is Washington DC a Third World city
This article examines an urban centre in the heart of the First World through a critical development lens. It contends that traits of the Third World entail certain characteristics which remain consequential as axes of analysis for a variety of economic, political and geographic settings, including new applications in contexts that are typically excluded from the focus of international development practice and scholarship. The article discusses c…
Villains, Victims, and Conservationists? Representational Frameworks and Sustainable Development on the Transamazon Highway
Gender, Pain, and Doctor Involvement: High School Student Attitudes Toward Doctor-Assisted Suicide
The present study concentrates on the attitudes of high school students toward active doctor-assisted suicide as described in hypothetical doctor-patient scenarios, orthogonally manipulating doctor's reaction to patient's wishes to end his/her life (whether discussed, accepted or encouraged), presence of patient's physical pain, presence of patient's emotional pain, and the gender of the hypothetical patient. Doctor-assisted suicides thoroughly d…
