The Just Transitions Research Network seeks to bring colleagues together in
the critical environmental social sciences and humanities, energy studies,
critical design studies and related fields to discuss the politics of
post-carbon futures. We seek to provide a forum where colleagues can
present and receive productive feedback on manuscripts and current work in
progress that has been pre-circulated to a small audience. At this
workshop, scholars working in the areas of environmental
sociology/political ecology, environmental geography and political theory
will discuss and debate their current work. Admission is free, but space
is limited to 30 people. Some papers will be pre-circulated before the
event to read. If you would like to attend this event, please contact
