Abstract

While the Anthropocene has seen the dissolution of nature-society dualism, disciplinary barriers have been deep-seated and limited a complete integrated analysis of the environmental crisis. Concerned by the scarcity of literature on structural and institutional barriers that leverage upon and extend this deep-seated duality between natural and social science, this paper maps the broader field of social science research in India. It also explores the epistemic effects of such inequalities on environmental research and its ability to meaningfully engage with interactions between the social and the natural worlds.

印度社会科学研究和环境可持续性中的不平等观点

虽然人类世见证了自然-社会二元论的消解，但学科障碍却根深蒂固，限制了对环境危机的全面综合分析。本文关注的是，有关结构性和体制性障碍的文献十分匮乏，而这些障碍利用并扩展了自然科学与社会科学之间根深蒂固的二元对立，本文描绘了印度社会科学研究的更广阔领域。本文还探讨了这种不平等对环境研究的认识论影响，以及环境研究有意义地参与社会和自然世界之间互动的能力。

期刊介绍： Environmental Science & Policy promotes communication among government, business and industry, academia, and non-governmental organisations who are instrumental in the solution of environmental problems. It also seeks to advance interdisciplinary research of policy relevance on environmental issues such as climate change, biodiversity, environmental pollution and wastes, renewable and non-renewable natural resources, sustainability, and the interactions among these issues. The journal emphasises the linkages between these environmental issues and social and economic issues such as production, transport, consumption, growth, demographic changes, well-being, and health. However, the subject coverage will not be restricted to these issues and the introduction of new dimensions will be encouraged.
