许多人已经观察到科学权威在过去三十年中的衰落，原因包括冷战科学的有毒遗产（Beck 1992），当前知识生产的商业化和私有化（Mirowski 2011），以及社会建构主义批评的成功（Latour 2004）。无论原因是什么，学术界、军方、国家和经济精英之间的关系似乎再次发生了变化。一种新的知识生产体制正在出现（Pestre 2003），在这种体制下，学术界的影响力明显低于过去半个世纪，而广泛合法的知识主张越来越多地在学术界之外发展。这些变化对学术合法性和机构的未来有着明显的影响。对环境和社会正义的影响不那么明显，尽管可能更加重要，因为审查知识和调查（或忽视）问题的方式发生了变化。在这篇文章中，我使用的学术和校外知识生产者之间的变化关系的探索，奠定了潜在的未来环境知识的生产。我认为，虽然学者们在挑战私营部门，商业化的环境知识索赔显着不成功，我们越来越成功地利用我们剩余的权威，使知识生产的民主化，以智力和政治进步的目的。
Many have observed the decline of scientific authority over the last three decades, for reasons ranging from the toxic legacies of Cold War science (Beck 1992), to the current commercialization and privatization of knowledge production (Mirowski 2011), to the success of social constructivist critique (Latour 2004). Whatever the cause(s), it seems clear that the relationship among academia, the military, and state and economic elites is shifting once again. A new regime of knowledge production is emerging (Pestre 2003) in which academia carries significantly less clout than it has over the previous half-century, and broadly legitimate knowledge claims are increasingly developed outside of the academy. These changes carry obvious implications for the future of academic legitimacy and institutions. The implications for environmental and social justice are less obvious, although perhaps even more important, as the ways in which knowledge is vetted and the questions investigated (or ignored) shift. In this article, I use exploration of the changing relationship between academic and extramural knowledge producers to lay out potential futures for the production of environmental knowledge. I argue that although academics have been notably unsuccessful in challenging private-sector, commercialized environmental knowledge claims, we are increasingly successful in leveraging our remaining authority to enable the democratization of knowledge production to intellectually and politically progressive ends.
