A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Environmental justice and climate justice activists routinely find themselves participating in state-led processes to determine energy futures and the built environment that follows. At stake is reproducing worlds of enclosure in the name of resilience, sustainability, innovation, carbon neutrality, and just transitions. This narrative performs a close reading of environmental justice activists’ participation in California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) alongside the landscape of San Joaquin Valley’s lagoons of effluvia. I draw on extensive fieldwork with environmental justice activists, decolonial theories on worlding, and the theory of agonism to present interventions that interrupt state-led imaginaries to instead multiply worlds within worlds.
