It is a critical time for environmental sociology. Against a backdrop of increasingly dynamic environmental and social change, contemporary scholarship must reorient itself to cut through the noise and directly confront the urgent socio-environmental questions of today.

In Environmental Sociology Now, Jordan Fox, Ian Carrillo, J. P. Sapinski, and Diana Stuart have gathered original essays from many of the emerging scholars who are advancing new ideas and making innovative connections across disciplines to lay new foundations. Each essay centers on the prompt "What does a more interdisciplinary, more diverse, and more justice-oriented environmental sociology look like, and what does that mean for our collective future?" Bringing together different—and often conflicting—points of view, this book outlines an inclusive, forward-looking classroom and research agenda. Challenging both students and scholars to critically reconsider what our environmental relationships currently look like (and what may be in store), this timely book will be a vital resource for the research and teaching of environment and society for years to come.
