This program emphasizes examining the political ecology and political economy behind environmental processes, especially those related to natural resource extraction and utilization. Students and faculty in environmental and resource sociology explore diverse subjects, from technological hazards to the wider institutional factors affecting resource exploitation and preservation. The training program also investigates personal factors like environmental beliefs and principles, examining how these influence eco-conscious actions, while highlighting the impact of environmental activism on policy development and ecological results. Numerous environmental and resource sociology students collaborate with ecological researchers on two NSF-funded interdisciplinary initiatives at the Madison campus: the Long-Term Ecological Research Project (LTER) and the Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) program.
