What is Environmental Sociology?. Diana Stuart

      1 Why might it be problematic or even dangerous to separate “nature” and “society” in our academic disciplines and in our personal understanding of the world?

      2 What is “the environment” and are we a part of it?

      3 What is a theory? Why might theories be useful in the social sciences?

      4 What makes “public sociology” different from other types of sociological research?
