Abstract Claims of structural injustice are difficult to hear for those in positions of social advantage, where listening and response are needed most. Most activist strategies focus primarily on “disruptive” politics, which exerts pressure on decision-makers via a pragmatics of directness, expediency, and force. This paper argues that the particular “structures of feeling” that make listening difficult for advantaged groups call for a different kind of activism. It draws on interdisciplinary expertise from four sectors effective in fostering listening in the face of challenge – conflict mediation, therapy, education, and performance – to articulate three common features that enable transformation in these sites. Each of these more “poetic” qualities runs counter to the logic of most activist politics, and holds significant potential for civic interventions that seek to open closures and soften resistances to claims of structural injustice among socially advantaged groups.

Abstract This essay revisits Timothy W. Luke’s Ecocritique to make a case for its relevance today, when the world is on the brink of runaway climate change and it is unclear what direction societies will take. To do so, it proceeds in three parts. First, it outlines three significant shifts that have taken place, undermining some of the coordinates that guided Luke’s Ecocritique and raising new problems for political ecology today. Then, it draws a few lessons from Ecocritique that remain vital to political ecology today. Finally, inspired by the way Luke mapped his ecocritique by examining a number of thinkers, projects, and movements, I will briefly outline a number of sites that seem critical for mapping new ways forward at this juncture. The essay concludes with five suggestions for how ecological politics might proceed today.

Abstract The concept of “eco-populism” has been used by the political theorist Timothy Luke to designate the possibility of open-ended green political futures which might be constructed beyond the limited ecological imaginaries of technoscience, neoliberalism, and Marxism. This article interrogates the conceptual origins through which “eco-populism” became the preferred name for this alternative. Eco-populism is taken to rightly critique some of the class characteristics of ecological destruction, but it obscures their extension into the realms of reactionary politics, private property, and North American agrarian settler colonialism. This article develops an immanent critique of the formal limits of populism, while also demonstrating its historical formation in the US steers it away from more radical orientations towards climate justice.

Abstract Participatory Budgeting (PB) is a welcome democratic innovation because it promises to empower traditionally marginalized groups and create more equitable public spending. PB delegates public authority to neighborhood residents to propose and decide on projects to fund with tax dollars. Does PB achieve a form of empowered participatory governance? This article examines this question by focusing on the degree to which PB engages marginalized groups in two Bay Area cities, using survey and interview data. We find that marginalized groups do participate, periodically at rates equal to their proportion of the population, and such groups appear to occasionally benefit materially from winning projects, though to a lesser extent. Effective outreach methods that contribute to these outcomes are highlighted. However, overall findings show that white middle-aged, middle-class groups participate most. Moreover, PB funds have been scaled back in both cities, limiting benefits and their potential to achieve PB’s equity goals. These results mirror outcomes in other jurisdictions. We conclude, nevertheless, with discussion of how PB’s institutional design, which if expanded and deepened, provides concrete pathways to achieve a promising form of empowered participatory governance with redistributive potential at the local level.

Abstract Revisiting André Gorz’s Destroy the University (1970) offers an opportunity to reconsider the concept of edu-factory explained by the respective authors of the Edu-factory Collective and Toward a Global Autonomous University (2009), which considers the political implications of asserting, “What was once the factory is now the university,” critical university studies’ critique of the neoliberal university (2012), and abolition university studies (2019), which asks, “Are prisons and universities two sides of the same coin?” The community college in the United States is arguably situated most directly between the factory and the prison. Most community college students are first generation, full-time students, workers, and often parents. They face severe time constraints, which are under-theorized and under-politicized to their own detriment. The COVID-19 pandemic compelled most people, including students, to transform previously private spaces to public spaces to accommodate work, school, and care-giving responsibilities. As a result, spatial and temporal distinctions between these different modes of being collapsed, allowing economic rationality to inform the most intimate settings of home, a Gorzian nightmare.

Abstract Using October, 2016 data from a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults (N = 1,461), this study considers the extent to which social structure and culture worked together to activate affinities for Donald Trump. For our analyses, we used multiple regressions and first focused on the extent to which social structural locations (e.g., gender, race/ethnicity, age, education, rurality) were associated with a willingness to trust Trump and report intentions to vote for him. Then, we considered partisanship affiliations. Finally, we looked at the extent to which hegemonically masculine, racial/ethnic and nativist, and authorities on truth values helped to further establish affinities for Trump. Findings indeed revealed that cultural value contestations were central to establishing affinities for Trump. Such beliefs even remained linked to intentions to vote for Trump after accounting for adults’ trust in him.

Cette année, le lauréat du prix est Hoodstock, une organisation ancrée dans les mouvements sociaux, qui vise à éliminer les inégalités systémiques et à construire des communautés solidaires, inclusives, sécuritaires et dynamiques. L'auteure et intervieweuse est diplômée de la maîtrise en sciences politiques de l‘Université McGill, où elle a effectué son mémoire de maîtresse sur le pouvoir collectif et l‘organisation intersectionnelle à Montréal. 1 Dans l‘article suivant, elle interviewe une cofondatrice de Hoodstock, Nargess Mustapha.
