People or Property: Legal Contradictions, Climate Resettlement, and the View from Shifting Ground
This open access book examines the use of relocation and resettlement processes in the USA as a means of responding to climate change
Critically assessing the idea of wildfire managed retreat
Avoiding Climate Change: “Agnostic Adaptation” and the Politics of Public Silence
Evaluating the efficacy and equity of environmental stopgap measures
Sociology and the Climate Crisis
What would it mean for sociology to make climate change a core disciplinary concern? This article reviews research on a selection of trends brought on by the climate crisis: ( a) compounding and cumulative disasters, infrastructure breakdown, and adaptation; ( b) intensifying migration and shifting patterns of settlement; and ( c) transformations in consumption, labor, and energy. While climate change's far-reaching implications remain peripheral…
How maps make time: Temporal conflicts of life in the flood zone
Practices of remapping and rezoning land based on environmental risk are rapidly expanding worldwide. Designating certain urban areas as “at risk” in the context of climate change raises familiar conflicts over space and the fraught placement of borders and boundaries. It also gives rise to lesser-studied struggles over time. This article examines such temporal conflicts through a case of disputed risk mapping in New York City. It draws on ethnog…
Avoiding Climate Change: "Agnostic Adaptation" and the Politics of Public Silence
What does it mean to adapt to climate change without talking about climate change? The term agnostic adaptation has emerged to refer to actions that address climate change’s effects without acknowledging its existence or human causes. Although prevalent, agnostic adaptation has yet to be the focus of significant empirical research. Most studies of climate silence and denial examine the absence of action rather than its paradoxical presence. This …
The Case for Retreat
Retreat, or relocating people and unbuilding land in places vulnerable to flooding and sea level rise, remains on the fringes of conversations about climate change adaptation. Yet already people throughout the world are moving away from the water en masse. Many more want to move but lack the resources to do so. Residents working to organize their own retreat are engaged in a struggle for recognition and support from, paradoxically, the very gover…
