Environmental Justice; Key Issues “Impressive in its disciplinary, geographical, and topical breadth, Environmental Justice: Key Issues examines the many meanings of justice inherent to the field. Written as an introductory text, it manages to present scholarship that is simultaneously accessible and cutting-edge. A tremendous contribution for all teachers and students of environmental justice.” —Professor Laura Pulido, Indigenous, Race, and Ethnic Studies Department, University of Oregon “This is an excellent collection of writing about the foundations, diversity and future of environmental justice, as both a site of activism and academic research. The range of authors is particularly impressive, spanning multiple disciplines, perspectives and contexts. For those studying environmental justice, there is much in here that will inform and inspire.” —Professor Gordon Walker, Lancaster Environment Centre, Lancaster University “Over the last decades, the study of environmental justice has become one of the most prominent fields in global sustainability governance. This timely new volume, carefully edited by Brendan Coolsaet, now brings together the Who’s Who of environmental justice scholarship for one of the first comprehensive reviews of all key issues at stake, covering the main concepts and issues and charting new research directions. The book is highly recommended for use in the classroom but also provides new insights and reflections for scholars and practitioners.” —Frank Biermann, Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development, Utrecht University Environmental Justice Environmental Justice: Key Issues is the first textbook to offer a comprehensive and accessible overview of environmental justice, one of the most dynamic fields in environmental politics scholarship. The rapidly growing body of research in this area has brought about a proliferation of approaches; as such, the breadth and depth of the field can sometimes be a barrier for aspiring environmental justice students and scholars. This book therefore is unique for its accessible style and innovative approach to exploring environmental justice. Written by leading international experts from a variety of professional, geographic, ethnic, and disciplinary backgrounds, its chapters combine authoritative commentary with real-life cases. Organised into four parts—approaches, issues, actors and future directions—the chapters help the reader to understand the foundations of the field, including the principal concepts, debates, and historical milestones. This volume also features sections with learning outcomes, follow-up questions, references for further reading and vivid photographs to make it a useful teaching and learning tool. Environmental Justice: Key Issues is the ideal toolkit for junior researchers, graduate students, upper-level undergraduates, and anyone in need of a comprehensive introductory textbook on environmental justice. Brendan Coolsaet is Associate Professor of Environmental Politics at ESPOL, the European School of Political and Social Sciences at Lille Catholic University, France. Key Issues in Environment and Sustainability This series provides comprehensive, original and accessible texts on the core topics in envi- ronment and sustainability. The texts take an interdisciplinary and international approach to the key issues in this field.

I thank Professor Bina Agarwal for sharing with us the speech she delivered at the Balzan Prizewinners’ Interdisciplinary Forum held in Berne on 16 November 2017. I also thank the International Balzan Prize Foundation for giving us permission to publish the speech. As background, I share with our readers the citation highlighting the reasons given by the Foundation for awarding her the 2017 International Balzan Prize for Gender Studies: For challenging established premises in economics and the social sciences by using an innovative gender perspective; for enhancing the visibility and empowerment of rural women in the Global South; for opening new intellectual and political pathways in key areas of gender and development. This thoughtful and concise statement, and the bibliography published on Balzan’s website (http://www.balzan.org/en/prizewinners/bina-agarwal), highlights the originality and excellence of Bina Agarwal’s life time research, and her remarkably effective engagement with policy and legal change. I believe her contributions offer to economists a new paradigm on the economics of human and sustainable development, and institutional analysis. Let me stress some points which I find especially striking. Bina Agarwal has done sustained pioneering research not just in one field of economics but in several major fields, from a political economy and gender & Alberto Quadrio Curzio [email protected] 1 Universita` Cattolica, Milano, Italy 2 Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, Roma, Italy 123 Econ Polit perspective.

  • AFRICAN LITERATURE and the ENVIRONMENT: a STUDY in POSTCOLONIAL ECOCRITICISM By
    AFRICAN LITERATURE AND THE ENVIRONMENT: A STUDY IN POSTCOLONIAL ECOCRITICISM By Cajetan N. Iheka A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of English – Doctor of Philosophy 2015 ABSTRACT AFRICAN LITERATURE AND THE ENVIRONMENT: A STUDY IN POSTCOLONIAL ECOCRITICISM By Cajetan N. Iheka African Literature and the Environment: A Study in Postcolonial Ecocriticism , examines how African literary texts document, critique, and offer alternative visions on ecological crises such as the Niger-Delta oil pollution and the dumping of toxic wastes in African waters. The study challenges the anthropocentricism dominating African environmental literary scholarship and addresses a gap in mainstream ecocriticism which typically occludes Africa’s environmental problems. While African literary criticism often focuses on impacts of environmental problems on humans, my dissertation, in contrast, explores the entanglements of humans and nonhumans. The study contributes to globalizing ecocriticism, expands the bourgeoning corpus of ecological investigations in African literary criticism, and participates in efforts to foster interdisciplinary connections between the humanities and the sciences. Following the lead of postcolonial ecocritics, like Rob Nixon, who have pressed the need for dialogue between ecocriticism and postcolonialism, Chapter One interprets Frantz Fanon’s Wretched of the Earth , Homi Bhabha’s Location of Culture, and Gayatri Spivak’s A Critique of Postcolonial Reason as an

Research at the Bank encompasses analytical work designed to produce results with wide applica- bility across countries or sectors. Bank research, in contrast to academic research, is directed toward recognized and emerging policy issues and is focused on yielding better policy advice. Although motivated by policy problems, Bank research addresses longer-term concerns rather than the imme- diate needs of a particular Bank lending operation or of a particular country or sector report. Activities classified as research at the Bank do not, therefore, include the economic and sector work and policy analysis carried out by Bank staff to support operations in particular countries. Economic and sector work and policy studies take the product of research and adapt it to specific projects or country settings, whereas Bank research contributes to the intellectual foundations of future lending opera- tions and policy advice. Both activities-research and economic and sector work-are critical to the design of successful projects and effective policy.

  • Creating Sustainable Livelihoods Through Group Farming with Bina Agarwal
    Creating sustainable livelihoods through group farming with Bina Agarwal This is a written transcription of Professor Stephanie Barrientos’ Podcast interview with Dr Nic Gowland, covering Professor Agarwal’s research on group farming and how it contributes to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). You can find the audio of the interview here: https://soundcloud.com/globaldevinst/gdi-the-sdgs-creating-sustainable-livelihoods- through-group-farming-withbina-agarwal Dr Nic Gowland: [00:00:25] Today, I am delighted to be speaking to Professor Bina Agarwal, Professor of Development, Economics and Environment at the Global Development Institute at The University of Manchester. Bina thank you very much for joining me today. We'll be discussing your research over the last five or 10 years, looking at sustainable livelihoods through group farming in places such as India and Nepal. But before we jump into the research, as ever, I'm keen to understand your journey that took you to this very successful point in your life. You've studied at, or worked at, some of the most esteemed universities in the world - Cambridge, Princeton, Harvard, New York, now Manchester. Picked up many awards along the way, including the Padma Shri, which I understand is India’s equivalent of an OBE, roughly, and also the 2017 International Balzan Prize. You were the second woman from the global south to ever receive this, the first being Mother Teresa. Before all of that, I'm interested in any experiences or inspirations early in life that, kind of, set you on this path towards your passion for global development and social change… Any examples? Professor Bina Agarwal: [00:01:30] Well, you know, the issues of social justice and inequality have always been important to me.

    16 ASIA-PACIFIC HUMAN DEVELOPMENT REPORT About the cover Deficits in women’s power and voice are at the heart of gender inequality. The cover design plays on mathematical symbols to depict the relationships between men and women—what they are and what should be. The equality symbol signifies that all people—women, men and those with other gender identities—are inherently valuable and ought to be equal members of the family and society. Other symbols—unequal, less than, greater than, approximately equal—draw attention to the presence of gender gaps, be they in public spaces, at work or in the home. About the separators Folktales and historical accounts provide a peek into society—as it was or can be imagined. Asia-Pacific has a wealth of local stories, ideas and experiences from the past. The chapter separators present a few selected nuggets. A common thread is women’s power and voice, their creativity and capability. Men are protagonists, not adversaries, in the search for equality, which benefits society as a whole. These short narratives complement and contrast with the Report’s data and analysis, providing a lyrical break between chapters.
