As the year comes to a close, we Undisciplined Environments editors want to look back at our 2019, and anticipate some of the initiatives planned for 2020.

Dear readers,

2019 has been an exciting year: Last September we launched our new political ecology blog, Undisciplined Environments, a collective effort to unlearn the disciplinary boundaries of academia and engage in reflections and actions to connect our various struggles.

Undisciplined Environments is the result of a collaboration between our former project, ENTITLE blog, and the WEGO (Well-being, Ecology, Gender and Community) network—a new and exciting international project in feminist political ecology, involving 18 institutions in ten countries.

Since launching the new platform, we have published more than 20 original posts. Our top picks for this period include:

A key theme we’ve explored and critically engaged with is that of Green inequalities in the city, in collaboration with our friends at the Barcelona Lab for Urban Environmental Justice and Sustainability.

Further collaborations will come in 2020, and we are working on several, forthcoming post series. Look out especially for the one on “Political ecologies of the far right”, inspired by the homonymous conference; and the “Governing water: Between commons and extractivism” series, which we will publish jointly with the FLOWs blog of IHE-Delft Institute for Water Education.

With this and other projects, our hope is to keep contributing to ongoing struggles for emancipatory socio-environmental transformation, through rigorous and critical engaged research practice on everyday experiences of oppression and resistance.

If you have any posts, collaboration ideas, or want to support this blog project, look at our Contribute page. Watch this space and our Facebook and Twitter pages for more news after the winter break. See you all in 2020.

The Undisciplined Environments Editorial Collective.

    We are a collective of scholars and activists oriented towards a common horizon of emancipatory social and ecological transformation. With this platform, we aim to animate a space to share, debate and critically reflect on research and activist experiences, observations, methodologies, news, events, publications, art, music and other themes and objects related to political ecology.
