#EESPublishes: #NewBookAlert! Prof @sethalow of @GC_CUNY on #Ethnography of #Space&#Place

by EES Social Media Fellow

Professor Setha Low has published a new book entitled Spatializing Culture: The Ethnography of Space and Place. This book demonstrates the value of ethnographic theory and methods in understanding space and place, and considers how ethnographically-based spatial analyses can yield insight into prejudices, inequalities and social exclusion as well as offering people the means for understanding the places where they live, work, shop and socialize. In developing the concept of spatializing culture, Setha Low draws on over twenty years of research to examine social production, social construction, embodied, discursive, emotive and affective, as well as translocal approaches. A global range of fieldwork …

#EESPublishes: New book by Profs @KGouldA & @TammyL_Lewis of @BKLYNCollege411& @GC_CUNY on #GreenGrentrification #UrbanSustainability & #EnvironmentalJustice

by EES Social Media Fellow

Professors Gould and Lewis published a new book entitled: Green Gentrification: Urban sustainability and the struggle for environmental justice (Routledge Equity, Justice and the Sustainable City series). Green Gentrification looks at the social consequences of urban “greening” from an environmental justice and sustainable development perspective. Through a comparative examination of five cases of urban greening in Brooklyn, New York, it demonstrates that such initiatives, while positive for the environment, tend to increase inequality and thus undermine the social pillar of sustainable development. Although greening is ostensibly intended to improve environmental conditions in neighborhoods, it generates green gentrification that pushes out …

#EESPublishes: Prof #NirKrakauer on 2015 #drought records in @earthzine

by EES Social Media Fellow

Professor Nir Krakauer of City College co-authored an article in Earthzine entitled; A New Kind of Drought: U.S. Record Low Windiness in 2015. Abstract: Vast swaths of the United States witnessed an unprecedented drop in windiness during the first half of 2015. This “wind drought” eclipses any previous event since 1979, in terms of both geographic extent and longevity, and affected states from Washington to Florida. Reanalysis data indicate that California, Oregon, Texas, and Washington reported their lowest recorded wind speeds in more than 30 years. Wind power generation plummeted as result, and since wind power now accounts for approximately …
