Welcome to Political Ecology Working Group
Political Ecology Working Group (PEWG) is a group of young scholars working in/with political ecology, seeking to build community across geographic space and beyond disciplines. This is an ongoing digital space for young and independent scholars to think through questions, frustrations, possibilities of doing engaged research. We want to think through accountability and praxis to facilitate an ongoing space for sharing, clearing in undisciplined conditions.
