Digital Scholarship in Environmental Studies
Background Previously in our weeks-long investigation of “the Capitalocene,” our lab group used country-level data on income, environmental performance, and environmental values and tools like Google Sheets and ArcGIS to analyze global differences and draw conclusions about the relationship between capital and environment. This week we were finally able to shed the limitations of country-level… Continue reading Environmental Justice in Portland, Oregon
Background In this week's lab, we dove deeper into our exploration of the Capitalocene. Further supplementing our country-level data from Yale’s EPI and World Bank, we incorporated country-level data to show environmentally significant values and behaviors around the globe. This new dimension of our Capitalocene study allowed us to make meaning from the trends in environmental performance… Continue reading Capitalocene Lab—Week 9

He asserts that because the Anthropocene sweeps people into a collective “humanity,” the geological frame assumes that each person on Earth is equally at fault for the climate and… Continue reading Lab 7—Further into the Capitalocene

First, he does not… Continue reading “Capitalocene” Quantitative Introduction
