 STDiscussion 2-3:00 EST\n\nEcosystems ecology and biogeochemistry have tra
 versed great methodological and intellectual distances to arrive at the pr
 esent understanding of the mechanisms underlying global change. Though a  
 range of theoretical frameworks and advanced methods have been developed t
 o investigate global change processes\, the social dimensions of ecology h
 ave been limited in scope to urban to rural gradients\, population health\
 , and environmental risks in contemporary contexts. Despite cross discipli
 nary consensus that social equality and justice issues are linked to envir
 onmental patterns\, the ecological and biogeochemical consequences of soci
 al inequality have been neglected by the empirical and quantitative discip
 lines. Moreover\, historical and contemporary oppressive social processes 
 (e.g. slavery\, colonial land seizure\, indigenous displacement\, racial a
 nd class power dynamics) have not been investigated as biophysical drivers
  of terrestrial and atmospheric chemistry.  This talk will interrogate com
 mon notions of the drivers of global ecological change\, introduce the eme
 rging concept of critical ecology\, and offer examples of how scientists m
 ay nuance their research questions to more explicitly investigate basic ec
 ological processes through a critical ecological lens.\n
