Network Meeting 4 - Green Work and Environmental Knowledge

Over the last 30 years, environmental regulations have come to govern nearly every facet of life so that by the 2020s, nearly everyone could be considered an environmentalist in one form or other (Benson 2020). This intriguing proposition implies major social change, yet relatively little is known of how enviro-regulations co-produce labor, business, and consumer practices and the infrastructural substrata of a society of environmentalists. We could refer to these practices collectively as green work and the ways of knowing around them as environmental knowledge. 

Please join us for this online meeting led by Dr Matthew N. Eisler, where our guest lecturer will review how work and labor have been treated in environmental studies to date and outline some provisional thoughts and provocations in opening a conversation on the epistemology of green work. The network meeting will engage you, the participants, in discussing and critiquing our proposal from your point of view and expertise.

We are happy to invite you to our fourth network meeting for the research programme Addressing Sustainability with Arts-based Science Communication (SUSTAIN-ART-SCI) on Tuesday 12^th November 2024 from 12:00 to 13:00. The meeting will be lead by Dr Matthew N. Eisler, lecturer at the University of Strathclyde.
