Abstract

Anthropocene debates challenge conventional (Western) approaches to theorizing human- environment relationships. To address these challenges, environmental social scientists need to improve their practices of theorizing. We articulate three principles for better theorizing the “Anthropos” in the Anthropocene: situating theory, practicing theory, and theorizing together.
