Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 70 ratings
  • Great series

    As an environmental social scientist, this series is a great way to keep up with the literature. A lot of coverage of the more critical theoretical side of the field, but that reflects monograph publishing.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jason Cons, "Delta Futures: Time, Territory, and Capture on a Climate Frontier" (U California Press, 2025)
Q: So now I want to turn to the book itself... so were there any specific encounters that made you realize the focus of your book?
Professor Cons recounts how his initial ideas morphed through ethnographic experiences in the Delta, revealing complex realities behind development and conservation efforts.
Jason Cons, "Delta Futures: Time, Territory, and Capture on a Climate Frontier" (U California Press, 2025)
Q: Could you please briefly introduce yourself to our audience in your own words?
Professor Cons shares his background and interests in anthropology, specifically how he came to focus on borders in South Asia and climate change.
Eray Çayli, "Earthmoving: Extractivism, War, and Visuality in Northern Kurdistan" (U Texas Press, 2025)
Q: In your work, you take visuality as a register through which extractivism and counter-extractive visions are articulated both during the years of Peaceful Resolution and during the return to war in the period of urban conflict. Can you explain this choice?
Visuality is central as it constructs the narrative surrounding violence and extraction; I argue that it is crucial to address how both the violence that enables extraction and the cultural production around it influence perceptions and realities in the context of Northern Kurdistan.
Eray Çayli, "Earthmoving: Extractivism, War, and Visuality in Northern Kurdistan" (U Texas Press, 2025)
Q: Could you briefly unpack the main argument for our audience and contribution of the book and explain a little bit further how the case of Northern Kurdistan provides a unique perspective for developing this analysis?
The book discusses the interdependence between extractivism, war, and visuality in Northern Kurdistan, focusing on the coloniality aspect, which has shaped the region's history uniquely despite not being nominally recognized as a colony. This case allows for an exploration of how cultural production influences the understanding and undoing of colonial dynamics.
Thomas Zeitzoff, "No Option But Sabotage: The Radical Environmental Movement and the Climate Crisis" (Oxford UP, 2026)
Q: How do you define the radical environmental movement?
It's loosely organized, left-leaning, non-hierarchical, and defined by a belief that ecological threats require more than just mainstream environmental efforts.
