环境社会学已成为社会学学科中一个成熟的领域。我们考虑了几个定义该领域的核心和边界的关键理论，呼吁关注辩论和未解决的问题。我们认为，这一领域的两个定义性特征是：（a）关注人类和非人类本性的不可分割性;（B）关注权力和社会不平等在塑造人类/非人类互动中所起的作用。环境社会学的这两个特点也揭示了这个领域和更广泛的学科之间的密切联系，根据最近的经典社会学著作的重新审查。最后，我们考虑了环境社会学家可能采取的新方向，以建立一个更强大的，跨学科的和关键的研究领域。
Environmental sociology has become a mature field within the discipline of sociology. We consider several of the key theories that define the core and boundaries of the field, calling attention to debates and unresolved questions. We contend that two of the defining features of this field are (a) attention to the inseparability of human and nonhuman natures and (b) attention to the role that power and social inequality play in shaping human/nonhuman interactions. These two characteristics of environmental sociology also reveal strong links between this field and the broader discipline, in light of recent reexaminations of classical sociological writings. We conclude with a consideration of new directions environmental sociologists might take toward building an even more robust, interdisciplinary, and critical area of study.
