All sports carry risks: NFL, media, and the framing of the youth sports concussion crisis
Callous Cruelty and Blow Back: Immigration and Customs Enforcement Facilities, Riskscapes, and Community Transmission of Covid-19
This research builds on and extends critical environmental justice research into carceral spaces. Here, the focus is on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facilities in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on the lessons provided by the Black Lives Matter social movement and critical race theory, this research draws connections between the institutionalized racism in the criminal justice system and immigration polic…
Recasting the Treadmills of Production and Destruction
We revisit and recast two prominent theories of environmental degradation: the treadmill of production and the treadmill of destruction. This recasting is guided by critical realism, focused on theorizing generative mechanisms that produce and shape empirical events. Our theorization is informed by Marxist and Weberian insights into environmental sociology contributions. In this critical realist recasting, the treadmill of production and the trea…
Treadmills of Production and Destruction in the Anthropocene: Coca Production and Gold Mining in Colombia and Peru
Human activities in Latin American countries have resulted in past and ongoing deforestation located in the Amazon and the Andes. Demonstrative of this new Anthropocene Epoch, the illegal production of cocaine stands as a major driver of these environmental outcomes in these countries; however, in recent years the extraction of illegal gold has yielded larger export values than that of cocaine. The consequences of these practices have far-reachin…
Nuclear Weapons and the Treadmill of Destruction in the Making of the Anthropocene
This research analyzes the human dimensions of environmental degradation and injustice in the age of nuclear weapons. Human societies are fundamentally linked to global environmental systems and are transforming ecological conditions in dramatic ways, such that the current epoch has been termed the Anthropocene. This article highlights the human health consequences, ecological transformations, and threats to biodiversity imposed by military insti…

The Environmental Consequences of Asymmetric War: A Panel Study of Militarism and Carbon Emissions, 2000-2010
Warmaking and war preparation have changed significantly in the 21st century. A number of scholars have documented and analyzed these changes. Drawing on work focused upon 'new war' and 'new militarism,' we argue that one facet of these practices has received little attention-the environmental consequences of 'new militarism.' Specifically, we contend that 'asymmetric war' through the mechanism of risk-transfer militarism results in increased car…
The War on Drugs in Colombia: The Environment, the Treadmill of Destruction and Risk-Transfer Militarism
Ecological damage, including global climate change, is commonly connected to practices and behaviors associated with economic activity and the Treadmill of Production (ToP). Less attention is paid to the connection between the military and environmental degradation, but recently the Treadmill of Destruction (ToD) has been documented as a global phenomenon with negative environmental effects. The ToD directly and indirectly contributes to environm…
