New paper on surface water, rent, and Marx!

Happy to share that my new paper on the role of Marxian rent in the context of surface water is out in Theory and Society!

Really thrilled to be able to announce that my book project, The Case for Rural America, is under contract with @uncpress.bsky.social and the Rural Studies Series!

In it, I make the case for sustaining rural America, while critiquing the status quo of rural development.

Read this book and plan to use in my environmental health class this Spring. A great look at the successes and struggles of local organizing against environmental injustice.

So many books leave students with the feeling that they can’t do anything, I’m hoping this helps increase their optimism.
