DESCRIPTION:Join the Department of Sociology and co-sponsors (Program for L
 eadership and Character and Sabin Center for Environment and Sustainability
 ) for an invited talk with Professor Hillary Angelo (UC Santa Cruz) where s
 he will discuss her current research on public lands in the American West:\
 n\nIt is a common (aspirational) refrain that climate change “changes every
 thing\,” and equally common to note that climate-related transitions seem t
 o be changing very little at all. What climate-related changes are happenin
 g now? And how might we grasp emergent trajectories while we’re in the mids
 t of these transitions? With a substantive focus on the city-hinterland rel
 ationship and the American West\, and based on five years of fieldwork rela
 ted to renewable energy\, conservation\, and housing development on public 
 lands in Nevada and Utah\, this talk gets purchase on these questions by pr
 esenting climate change as a form of macro-social change. I draw on classic
 al and contemporary macro-historical sociology and critical geography to sh
 ow how this framework provides new insights on climate transitions and desc
 ribe its implications for understanding contemporary climate politics\, pol
 icy\, and visions of a just transition.\n\nFree and open to the public.
