Very excited to share my newest article in @ProgHumGeog! My main argument revolves around how geographers can strategically contribute to labor struggles under a changing climate and the need to bring under one umbrella research that / doi.org/10.1177/030913…
currently falls within the labor-environment nexus. Some of my key arguments are 1) worker-led mass movements will be key to overcoming the climate crisis, 2) our research needs a clearer strategic compass on how it can contribute to struggles on the ground /
3) New conversion demands in industrial sectors represent an example of current environmental labor struggles. I compare those to past debates motivated by a shift from defense to socially useful production, 4) as geographers we have useful analytical tools that can help draw /
conclusions for projects like a just transition, 5) But to effectively contribute to labor struggles on the ground we need to bring research into dialogue under one field–environmental labor geography... I'm sure many will disagree with my conclusions, but I'm happy to debate!
