“Emissions, Inequality, and Human Well-Being”

Andrew Jorgenson, Boston College

In this talk Prof. Jorgenson will provide an overview of ongoing collaborative research streams that focus on interconnections between greenhouse gas emissions, ambient air pollution, forms of inequality, and human well-being. This theoretically-engaged research involves the combining of social and environmental datasets at various scales, ranging from the facility level to the cross-national level, and the use of multiple research methods. Besides contributing to various areas of socioenvironmental research within sociology, this work is intended to help situate fundamental sociological principles about inequality more centrally within sustainability
science.
