Environment and Society
Advances in Research
Aims & Scope
Published in association with the Earth Institute, Columbia University.
The field of research on environment and society is growing rapidly and becoming of ever-greater importance not only in academia but also in policy circles and for the public at large. Climate change, the water crisis, deforestation, biodiversity loss, the looming energy crisis, nascent resource wars, environmental refugees, and environmental justice are just some of the many compelling challenges facing society today and in the future.
As a forum to address these issues, we are delighted to present an important new peer-reviewed annual: Environment and Society: Advances in Research. Through this journal we hope to stimulate advanced research and action on these and other critical issues and encourage international communication and exchange among all relevant disciplines.
Published in association with the Earth Institute of Columbia University, Environment and Society will publish critical reviews of the latest research literature including subjects of theoretical, methodological, substantive, and applied significance. Articles will also survey the literature regionally and thematically and reflect the work of anthropologists, geographers, environmental scientists, and human ecologists from all parts of the world in order to internationalize the conversations within environmental anthropology, environmental geography, and other environmentally oriented social sciences. The publication will appeal to academic, research and policy-making audiences.
Subjects: Environmental Studies, Anthropology, Geography, Ecology.
