Hi all, My point was not that there is no work on any of these issue areas. Very sorry if I suggested otherwise. You cite excellent work indeed!
My comment was about the political science subfield of American politics. If there are places where lots of doctoral students in PoliSci American politics doctoral programs are working on these issues, I would be very happy to know more about them. In fact, it was sociology (and anthropology & geography) that I had in mind when I suggested that non-PoliSci social science fields might have more such work – as related to issues, processes, actors and institutions in American politics -- and thus produce a richer applicant pool of assistant professor applicants than would a strictly PoliSci, discipline-specific search. --SV From: Gep-Ed <[email protected]> on behalf of "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Reply-To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, May 17, 2018 at 6:20 PM To: Gep-Ed <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [gep-ed] article recommendations for intro course? Hi, If I may, I'd like to mention the excellent work done by environmental sociologists looking at corporate influence in US environmental politics, especially the work of Robert Brulle, Riley Dunlap, Aaron McCright, Justin Farrell and their colleagues on corporate foundations and think tanks promoting climtae change denial, Ryan Wishart on coal companies, Peter Dauvergne on "the environmentalism of the rich", Charles Derber on corporate influence on the discourse of sustainability, Eric Bonds and Liam Downey on corporate influence on environmental policy, Sheldon Kamieniecki has two books on the topic, etc. etc. There's also an amazing interdisciplinary partnership project in Canada that looks specifically at the influence of the oil industry in Canadian politics, including intercorporate networks, think tanks, lobbying, cultural influence, etc. (which I have the privilege to be a part of, see www.corporatemapping.ca<http://www.corporatemapping.ca>). It would be important I think that someone starts a similar project in the US. On race, class and environmental politics, I'd suggest work by Kari Norgaard, Shannon Bell, Robert Bullard, Julian Agyeman, David Pellow, etc. I must admit I'm a bit surprised that these questions have come up on this listserv, given the wealth of literature on these topics, but perhaps it was intended more specifically and I'm not understanding well. -------------------------------------------- Bell, Shannon Elizabeth. 2013.

In short - to Michele, Tabitha and others - what may be needed if political science can’t rise to these challenges is to more explicitly open such searches up to social science disciplines where such concerns are more consistently at the center of inquiry.

Hi, We’re hoping to hire in the area of American politics and environment in the next year or so and I’ve been struck by how few people are working in this space. There is a lot of work on US environmental policy but as far as I can tell not much that connects some traditional issues in American politics with the environmental issue domain.

Many thanks to all who replied to my inquiry (David, Johnathan, Leah, Tabitha, and others off-list!). This is a very helpful listserv. After skimming and sometimes reading carefully all the suggested work, I am struck by how little attention is given to the roles of campaign finance and corporate lobbying in environmental decisionmaking and outcomes. Given the outsized role of wealthy campaign contributors to the contemporary American political process, I wonder if I just missed it, or maybe there is a free-standing article on this somewhere?

I was going to recommend the exact same chapter from the Vig and Kraft book. In fact, the first three chapters really do it all in terms of introducing students to the politics side. And the most recent edition is just as good - although it was written just before the US election and they clearly thought Hilary was going to win (as we all did).

Hi Debra, This probably won't give you everything your students need--especially as regards the more expressly "political" dimensions--but chapter 1 in Vig and Kraft, Environmental Policy: New Directions for the 21st Century, might be useful. (Full disclosure: that's based on the 6th edition; I haven't seen the latest).

I am searching for an article that I can assign in Intro to Sustainability that would give them some basic information on the role of lobbying, campaign finance, legislation, regulatory bodies, taxation, and other dimensions of politics in promoting or obstructing action on environmental concerns. Is there a single “go to” article or book chapter that essentially explains how politics works (and applies specifically to environmental issues)? If not, are there a few that could be combined? The course is not an environmental politics course, so I don’t have the luxury of assigning as much writing on politics as I’d like. The assignment needs to be appropriate for an intro course and assume no knowledge, because wow, they are shockingly innocent.
