“…Of particular importance is the growing understanding of the failure of the state to deliver environmental justice through regulation or other mechanisms of accountability (Pellow, 2016;Pulido et al, 2016). In the context of just transition activism and policy, we are likely to see more environmental justice activists engage in strategies beyond or against the state, especially as struggles for energy transition are more deeply connected to racial justice and Indigenous resistance (Estes, 2019;Gilio-Whitaker, 2019). Struggles over rendering energy sources renewable in state RPSs are thus less likely to embody EJ principles unless significant pressure is placed on legislators, who are often tied directly to industry through campaign contributions and lobbying (Stokes, 2020).…”

Renewable energy advocates have positioned a wide array of technologically novel energy sources as fossil fuel alternatives. These efforts to usher in renewable energy transitions have long been shaped by definitional contestations. Political ecological scholarship tells us that such definitions are meaningful. Indeed, labeling energy sources as renewable has become a power-laden act, which may spark innovation, yet simultaneously creates openings for problematic classifications and unjust socio-ecological relations. However, we still know too little about how such classification politics are taking shape within green industrial policy formation; particularly, how they encounter incumbent industries and industrial regions. In this paper, we argue that these theoretical questions are crucial for an emerging industrial political ecology and explore three recent developments in the US context. A country that has notoriously avoided open and coordinated national industrial policy, the United States has approached the renewable energy economy in a similarly geographically fragmented fashion. We highlight a central yet under-examined tool in US energy-industrial policy: the renewable portfolio standard. Mandated by 30 states, renewable portfolio standards are the US’s central mechanism for renewable energy procurement—yet renewable portfolio standards diverge substantially from state to state in terms of the energy sources they classify and incentivize as renewable. We argue that industrial interests and state governments have together capitalized upon renewable portfolio standards’ malleability to support regionally significant sectors, including “dirty” industries and industrial wastes. These industries, often controversially, thereby position themselves for rebranding and new forms of value capture.

“…Therefore, without meaningful practices of land restitution, state and/or corporate recognition of cultural differences can run hollow. This illuminates an important tension for justice-focused sport management researchers in settler states like the USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand: How can sport management scholarship effectively challenge the management and organizational practices rooted in the logics of settler colonialism (Chen and Mason, 2019), and contribute to the Indigenous environmental movements towards decolonization, that is, the restitution of Indigenous land and regeneration of Indigenous communities, relationships, and knowledges (Estes, 2019;Gilio-Whitaker, 2019;Tuck and Yang, 2012;Whyte, 2018a)? While this process may involve much unsettling and discomfort, it is beneficial to heed the advice from Indigenous Peoples: In restoring the relationship among humans and in between human and nature, argued Gilio (2012), the process of decolonization is a "two-way" street that will benefit both settlers and Indigenous Peoples alike in the long run.…”

PurposeThis paper aims to explore what environmental justice (EJ) can offer to sport management research and highlights the urgency for sport management scholars interested in environmental and ecological issues to engage with EJ as an important research agenda.Design/methodology/approachThis paper is primarily a position and conceptual paper. Drawing from multidisciplinary literature (e.g. critical human geography, environmental sociology, Indigenous studies and postcolonial studies), it provides an overview of the major conceptualizations of EJ and discusses important premises for sport management researchers to engage with EJ topics.FindingsEJ offers opportunities for sport management researchers to form stronger analyses on existing racial, socio-economic, and gender-related inequities manifest in the sport industry. The incorporation of EJ can strengthen the emerging sport ecology research in sport management and offer opportunities for sport management researchers to form stronger analyses on existing racial, class and gender-related inequities manifest in the sport industry.Originality/valueIt provides a critical and original intervention to the sport management literature. EJ's emphasis on power and its position at the convergence of social movements, public policy, and scholarship hold important potential for sport management researchers to advance scholarship with “actions,” addressing environmental harms and seeking practical solutions for enhancing communities' well-being.

“…Scholars in Indigenous, Black, Latinx, feminist, and settler colonial studies have long chronicled the ways in which surveillance, mapping, media, and computational technologies are implicated in the capture, distortion, and criminalization of liberation movements (Browne, 2015;Fanon, 1994;González, 2019;Hall, 1981;Crosby and Monaghan, 2018). These practices take many forms, including through the regulation of Black liberation movements' in Attica, Ferguson, Minneapolis, and Denver, among other global sites of resistance, to surveillance regimes deployed onto Indigenous lands rendering water and land protectors as criminals at the No-DAPL and Line 3 resistance camps, to the deputizing of white property bearing citizens to regulate Black, Latinx, and Asian neighborhoods through state sanctioned surveillance apps (Camp, 2016;Estes, 2019;Jefferson, 2017). The regulation of liberation movements and minoritized spaces rendered as capital frontier zones reflects the colonial entanglement of geographical knowledge.…”

Undoing settler imaginaries: (Re)imagining digital knowledge politics

Geography as a discipline is entangled in settler colonial regimes that continue to shape geographic practice and the boundaries of geographical knowledge. Digital technologies play an instrumental role in shaping the view of geography and sociospatial relations. This paper traces the construction of the settler imaginary in geographic thought through scholarship in digital geographies and anticolonialism. By bridging anticolonial scholarship in digital geographies, this paper contributes to debates on anticolonial and decolonial refusal politics and its role in realizing reciprocal land-life relations. The (re)imagining of digital knowledge politics begins with accountable digital geographic practices on the terms of Indigenous peoples’.
