A Graduate Student Fellow from the Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management, Jennifer Sokolove examines in Doing Good by Doing Well: Altered Environmental Imaginaries in the American West the role of two new environmental organizations in the struggle over the appropriate relationship between economic productivity and environmental protection. Sokolove thus interrogates competing narratives of “work” and “nature,” using interviews, ethnographic observation, and primary sources to trace changing American concepts of the environment and economy over time and to explore how those ideas are manifest in the concrete actions of environmental organizations.
