It doesn’t happen all that often, but once in a while I get to see a book through from early drafts to the index, and this has been the case with Kirstin Munro’s forthcoming work The Production of Everyday Life in Eco-Conscious Households: Compromise, Conflict, Complicity, which we just finished indexing at Southwest Humanities. Munro’s book “describes what happens when people make interventions into mundane and easy-to-overlook aspects of everyday life to bring the way they get things done into alignment with their environmental values. Because the ability to make changes is constrained by their culture and capitalist society, there are negative consequences and trade-offs involved in these household-level sustainability practices.” For more information about this illuminating study, please take a look at the publisher’s website here.
