Greiner Authors Chapter On “What’s So Environmental About Environmental Sociology?”
Posted: 3/5/2026 (CSDE Research)

CSDE Affiliate Patrick Trent Greiner (Sociology) and co-authors open a new book, Environmental Sociology Now, with a chapter titled “What’s So Environmental About Environmental Sociology?”. Greiner and co-author argue that disagreement over what is or is not “environmental”—if embraced—can be a strength for the field. They encourage scholars to cultivate multiple ways of knowing and pursue a philosophically pluralist approach.
