Description:
As summarized on the cover, the chapters in this book challenge the mainstream view of the environment as either threatening or valuable, and instead consider how geographic knowledge can be applied to offer a more nuanced understanding. Framed within geopolitics and using a range of methodologies, the chapters offer different approaches to demonstrate how selective forms of knowledge, measurement, and spatial focus both embody and stabilize power, shaping how people perceive and respond to changing features of human-environment interactions. This panel discussion includes contributing authors of this book and welcomes a broader conversation with attendees.
