Dominic Wilkins is Assistant Professor of Sustainability and Environmental Studies at Berea College. As a scholar he sits at the juncture of political ecology, social & cultural geography, the environmental humanities, and religious studies with particular foucs on topics including justice, power, and place, and he earned his PhD in Geography from Syracuse University. Dominic’s research examines the various ways religious actors further and frustrate climate action and socio-ecological justice efforts. He focuses in particular on the U.S. Catholic Church, using a mix of methods to assess how the institution and indivdiual Catholics entangle with various socio-ecologies. At a more theoretical level, Dominic considers the ways various conceptions of the world do (and do not) take place, as well as the short- and long-term effects of such (mis)translations.
