Improving regulatory outcomes for natural and nature based feature ecological restoration
Despite the promise of diverse benefits to biodiversity, resilience, water quality, and quality of life, natural and nature-based feature (NNBF) ecological restoration in the New York/New Jersey Harbor Estuary is often impeded by regulatory barriers. Arising from industrial regulations superimposed on restoration contexts, several overlapping agencies and sometimes-conflicting mandates, and long-standing differences in values, capacity, and scien…
Searching for Higher Ground
Due to land loss from sea level rise, subsidence, and hurricanes, coastal Louisiana residents face decisions about whether and how to move to live more securely. These (seemingly) biophysical processes are compounded by sociocultural evolution and technological progress, which often make rural people and communities feel devalued. Using these observations as a background, we ask: how do disaster-related migration strategies correspond to broader …
More than a feeling
While disasters and other forms of environmental change are known to carry emotional and mental health consequences, these consequences have received limited attention from environmental sociologists. In response, I employ 51 interviews with survivors of the 2018 Camp Fire in Paradise, California, nearby wildfires, and professionals involved in wildfire recovery and policy to develop an agenda and framework for better integration of emotions and …
Analyzing the Military's Role in Producing Air Toxics Disparities in the United States
The negative environmental, health, and social effects arising from U.S. military action in communities both domestically and abroad suggest that the military represents an understudied institutional source of environmental injustice. Moreover, scholars and activists have long argued that the state is an active or a tacit contributor to environmental inequality, thus providing an opportunity to link U.S. military activity with approaches to the s…
A regional approach to militarized riskscapes
Recent advances in sociological appreciation of risk have culminated in the concept of riskscapes, which describe how the social, political, biophysical, and technological drivers of risk are embedded within different spaces in ways that can reinforce systemic inequities. The U.S. military has long been recognized as an important structural and institutional contributor to environmental problems and therefore potentially riskscapes. However, the …
The Continuing Storm
Remaking Resilience
Resilience remains central to disaster preparedness and planning regimes in our changing world. It has been condemned as a meaningless buzzword, yet also recognized as a tool of neoliberalism with meaningful consequences. To address this central contradiction in this approach to environmental risk reduction—and to better understand inequality formation—I propose an alternative conceptualization of resilience that synthesizes materialist approache…
Research Note
Prospective demographic information of the United States is limited to national-level analyses and subnational analyses of the total population. With nearly 40% of the U.S. population being residents of coastal areas, understanding the anticipated demographic changes in coastal counties is important for long-range planning purposes. In this research note, we use long-range, county-level population projections based on a simplified cohort-componen…
The Impact of Natural Disasters on Systemic Political and Social Inequities in the United States
Military as an Institution and Militarization as a Process
State reactions to Black Lives Matter demonstrations include heavily militarized domestic police responses and the deployment of the National Guard. These events place emphasis on understanding the U.S. military as an institution and militarization as a process; as well as their corresponding environmental justice (EJ) consequences. In this study, we integrate critical race theory, decolonial thought, carceral geography, and military and environm…
Environmental Precedent
The central premise of environmental sociology is that social and environmental processes influence one another in fundamental ways. Here we build upon that insight and develop the concept of “environmental precedent” to better incorporate the full range of environmentally consequential law ‐ even law that is not “environmental” per se ‐ in sociological analysis. Environmental precedent refers to the environmental consequences of legal processes,…
Gendered Care Work and Environmental Injustice
Although environmental justice researchers have long been interested in the connections between disaster recovery, gender, and home- and community-based care, the consequences of the post-disaster performance of emotional labor by workers in care occupations have largely gone unnoticed. To address this gap in the environmental injustice literature, in this exploratory article we employ a feminist analysis of firsthand accounts of elementary educa…
Is Urbanization Good for the Climate? A Cross-County Analysis of Impervious Surface, Affluence, and the Carbon Intensity of Well-Being
We contribute to literature exploring the socioecological impact of urban development as a multidimensional project, one in which changes to landscape features complement changes in demographic and administrative measures to co-constitute the socioecological impact of urbanity. We use a random coefficients modeling approach to examine U.S. relationships between the intensity of impervious surface within a county, population density in impervious …
Breaking the Divide
Here we argue that sociolegal processes can not only restructure social relationships through setting legal precedent but can also restructure socioenvironmental relationships through setting what we call “environmental precedent.” By environmental precedent we mean the environmental consequences of legal processes, environmental consequences that then become the new, dynamic material reality for future legal processes. We apply the concept of en…
Remembering the Future
The Pacific Northwest coast of the United States is currently facing the threat of an earthquake and tsunami some experts predict will be the worst natural disaster in North American history. This region also must contend with predicted effects of climate change. Applying the sociological traditions of memory, silence, and place to the natural hazard context, I qualitatively explore how local residents collectively envision future disasters and t…
