Colleagues, Just to inform you, our book Environments, Natures and Social Theory: Towards a Critical Hybridity (Palgrave Macmillan, 2015) just came out in paperback.
http://www.palgrave.com/page/detail/environments-natures-and-social-theory-damian-white/?sf1=barcode&st1=9780230241039 Drawing from STS, environmental sociology and geography, debates in citizen science, political ecology and critical design studies, cyborg feminism and environmental justice studies the core argument of the book suggest that the old two-dimensional environmental debate (limits/no limits/catastrophe/cornucopia) has exhausted itself as a productive frame of reference. We need to move beyond Malthus, romanticism, free market fanaticism and tired old contrarianism. Rather attention needs to turn to socio-ecological hybridities, justice, power, possibility and reconstruction. In short, we need to move from end times ecology and technocratic ecomodernism to public ecologies.
