This dissertation research will examine and juxtapose environmental debates characteristic of two cities, Houston, Texas and Shenzhen, People's Republic of China (PRC). The research will address the ethical concerns inherent in ecological effects of global economic systems predicated on the aggressive development of science and technology. Having completed fieldwork in Houston, the dissertation student will spend a year in the PRC, developing an ethnographic geography of the cultural forms of everyday life within the context of preexisting social and spatial structures. The fieldwork will involve networking, a survey of Shenzhen intellectuals, in-depth interviews, archival research, and mapping exercises. Expected results will include an outline of the general domains and terms of the environmental ethics debates there and an analysis of how the attitudes of the Shenzhen intelligensia toward the social use of science and technology inform their ethical positions. The information from the studies in Houston and Shenzhen will also provide a basis for analyses of how social relationships and status, as well as status within the world economic system, influence the ability of individuals, groups, regions, and nations to participate in debates about environmental ethics.

这项论文研究将研究和并置两个城市的特征，即休斯敦，德克萨斯州和中华人民共和国的深圳（PRC）。 该研究将解决全球经济体系固有的伦理问题，这是基于科学技术的积极发展。 在休斯顿完成了实地考察后，论文学生将在中国度过一年，并在已经存在的社会和空间结构的背景下开发了人种学的日常生活文化形式。 现场工作将涉及网络，对深圳知识分子的调查，深入的访谈，档案研究和映射练习。 预期的结果将包括在那里的一般领域和环境伦理辩论的条款的概述，以及对深圳情报对科学和技术社会使用的态度的分析。 休斯顿和深圳研究的信息还将为分析社会关系和地位以及世界经济体系中的地位以及影响个人，群体，地区和国家参与有关环境伦理辩论的能力的分析提供基础。
