Now Is the Time to Add More Sociology of Climate Change to Our Introduction to Sociology Courses
Sociology has been slow in responding to the challenge of climate change. In this conversation, we advocate adding more climate change content to Introduction to Sociology courses. To support our arguments, we present data from a content analysis of the top 11 best-selling introductory textbooks in the United States, demonstrating that environmental concerns are usually relegated to the end of books, which provide little (and sometime errant) con…

Unintended, Inexorable: The Production of Environmental Inequalities in Santa Clara County, California
Instead of demonstrating the existence of environmental race and class inequalities at one point in time, social scientists must now do historical studies that explain how such inequalities are generated over time. The authors use 1990 census and 1989 Environmental Protection Agency Toxics Release Inventory data to document environmental race and class inequalities in Santa Clara County, California. They then use earlier censuses and historical l…
Ecology and the World-System
Integrating environmental and world-systems analyses in chapters ranging from the ancient to the contemporary, from the global to the local, from West to East, and from North to South, this book is the first collection to analyze environmental issues from the world-systems perspective. The introduction provides Immanuel Wallerstein's fullest explication of the role of ecological constraints in the world-system. Early chapters diagnose the increas…
Environmental Inequalities: Literature Review and Proposals for New Directions in Research and Theory
The first battles that led to the formation of the Environmental Justice movement also produced the first studies of race and exposure to toxins. Subsequently, demographers, geographers, sociologists, political scientists, historians and legal scholars have all contributed to an ever-expanding body of studies. We review the most important works that have been published in the 1990s, focusing especially on studies of waste sites, studies of toxic …

Corporations, Organized Crime, and the Disposal of Hazardous Waste: An Examination of the Making of a Criminogenic Regulatory Structure
This paper explores the relationship between legitimate corporations that generate hazardous waste and elements of organized crime with whom they contract for the removal, treatment, or disposition of those wastes. The scope and importance of hazardous waste as a social problem is first described and the variety of organized crime participation in waste handling is summarized. The paper then explores the factors that enabled organized crime to be…
The Process and Significance of Political Scandals: A Comparison of Watergate and the 'Sewergate' Episode at the Environmental Protection Agency
Purposeful scandalmongering is a familiar and particularly dramatic feature of the American political process. If successful, it embarrasses one's political opponents, blocks their policies, and perhaps even drives them from office. This paper compares Watergate, the most important recent example of political scandal, and “Sewergate,” the 1983 episode at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Based on this comparison, I develop a conceptual fr…
