社会进程正在引发一场全球生物多样性丧失的危机，但那些研究社会进程的人基本上没有参与关于这场危机的讨论。认识到发展一个单一的一般社会学理论的原因和生物多样性丧失的后果是不可行的，这篇文章的目的是从事广泛的社会学传统，无论他们是否已经纳入环境问题，集中在理论问题，我们认为必须面对的，如果一个社会学对话的全球生物多样性危机是发生。这些传统包括环境社会学、关系社会学、规模社会学和地理学以及历史社会学。我们在必要的地方，重新定向这些传统的各个方面，以纳入非人类行为者，更一般的生物物理过程，以及进化时间的漫长。然后，我们通过详细介绍葛藤的传播来说明我们的观点，葛藤是一种入侵物种，对美国东南部的生物多样性产生了重大影响。我们的总体目标是发起一个广泛的社会学探索，一个不受亚学科界限的阻碍，为什么以及如何人类社会进程正在启动全球生物多样性丧失的速度越来越快。
Social processes are setting in motion a crisis of global biodiversity loss, yet those who study social processes are largely absent from discussions about this crisis. Recognizing that developing a single general sociological theory of the causes and consequences of biodiversity loss is infeasible, the purpose of this article is to engage a wide array of sociological traditions that, whether or not they have thus far incorporated environmental problems, focus on theoretical issues that we believe must be confronted if a sociological conversation about the global crisis of biodiversity is to take place. These traditions include those in environmental sociology, relational sociology, the sociology and geography of scale, and historical sociology. We, where necessary, redirect aspects of these traditions to incorporate nonhuman actors, more general biophysical processes, and the longue durée of evolutionary time. We then illustrate our perspective by detailing the spread of Kudzu, an invasive species that is having a significant impact on biodiversity in the American southeast. Our overall goal is to initiate a broad sociological exploration, one unhampered by subdisciplinary boundaries, into why and how human social processes are setting in motion an increasing rate of global biodiversity loss.
