41006 - Racial Capitalism and the Environment

Mon, August 11, 4:00 to 5:30pm, East Tower, Hyatt Regency Chicago, Floor: Concourse Level/Bronze, Michigan 2

Description

Environmental sociologists have contributed to the literature on racial capitalism to explain the connections between the dehumanizing production of racial differences that divide workers, extract profits, and manage and hide socioecological precarity and a host of environmental problems. Topics of research include environmental and food injustice, climate change, fossil fuel development, agricultural modernization, state formation, plantation logics, green gentrification, labor, and more.

This session calls for theoretically, empirically, or methodologically driven papers that engage with racial capitalism and the environment.
