<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif">Arguably, the three, major crises of our time—the epoch of the Anthropocene—are climate change, biodiversity loss, and social inequality. Closely related global phenomena, these
crises are occurring locally with devastating consequences for increasingly large numbers of the world’s population. Like many other educators, we have come to see our role in researching, analyzing, and teaching these interrelated topics, irrespective of
disciplinary identity or specific expertise, as paramount. Given the accelerated pace of urbanization in all parts of the world, we are especially concerned about their dynamics in urban spaces. Although each of us has been actively engaged in research and
teaching that relate in some ways to the specific questions of urban environmental justice that are the focus of this proposed volume, we started working together to develop our analysis programmatically in 2017 when we received a Humanities Connections Grant
from the National Endowment for the Humanities for the Campus-Community Urban Sustainability Program (CUSP). This 3-year, NEH-funded program has allowed us to develop four related undergraduate courses on urban sustainability across the disciplines in biology,
education, English, and philosophy as well as to partner with community organizations and nonprofits to sponsor public events on these issues.
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif">Even as we were launching the program in 2017, our commitment to producing and disseminating knowledge of the causes, effects, and solutions to these crises was reinforced by alarming
international and national reports on existing and future effects of climate change, biodiversity loss, and gross social inequality. While these occur in all environments—rural, urban, suburban, advanced and developing countries—our focus is on urban spaces
like Brooklyn, the location of our university, and a microcosm of many of the issues at the heart of the scholarly, educational, and political work we see as imperative. It is from a deep and growing belief that we must all turn our attention
<i>now</i> to these issues, particularly in relation to their impact on a rapidly urbanizing world, that we are proposing this edited volume. Shaped by our own positions as researchers and teachers across the disciplines in an urban university in one of the
most diverse, precarious, coastal cities of the world, we believe that educators and researchers have a crucial role to play in understanding these pressing problems, analyzing their root causes, helping to solve them, and integrating them into teaching across
levels, disciplines, and communities. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif">In sum, we start with the following premises: 1) these issues call all of us to act decisively and to act NOW; 2) unprecedented environmental despoliation and extreme social inequality
are inextricably related and must be dealt with in relation to one another; 3) addressing the unique sustainability challenges faced by cities is required as more than half the world’s population now lives in urban areas; 4) the nature of the problems requires
transdisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and community-engaged approaches; and 5) as educators, we can play a vital role in researching, analyzing, and teaching about these complex, diffuse, and “troublesome” concepts (Meyer and Land).

approaches to research-based, theoretical or applied articles as well as those focused on curricular and pedagogical innovations. We are eager to include work that resonates with our sense of the need for an intense focus on discipline-specific research and
teaching <i>and</i> interdisciplinary approaches in these areas and mindsets that take up scientific questions while bearing in mind philosophical, literary, historiographical, sociological, and other perspectives and vice versa. We are especially interested
in questions of<i> urban</i> environmental justice and are open to a broad range of submissions that address urban spaces and processes in keeping with forecasts by ecologists like Eric W. Sanderson of the role cities will necessarily play in any version of
a habitable future and critical analysis by sociologists like Mike Davis that we are already facing the consequences of a rapidly urbanizing “planet of slums.”
