Digital Materialities and Sustainable Futures

This series develops an interdisciplinary field that shifts the conversation about digital environmental sustainability from profit and efficiency to geographies of in/justice and the colonially and decolonisation of digital scholarship and practice. As digital economies grow at an unprecedented speed the links between global environmental degradation and digital industries become more apparent as does their intersection with global environmental injustice. 

Books in this series directly acknowledge an important and pressing issue: that the materiality of digital technologies can inflict substantial environmental damages: the ever-growing extraction of resources needed to produce digital devices; the toxicity of e-waste; and the rapidly increasing energy demand, while the the geography of digital environmental harms is unevenly distributed and is often aligned with geographies of colonialism land dispossession extraction of natural and human resources and the violence of industrialisation and capitalism. 

The series is a rich resource for scholars across discipline interested in those most affected by various forms of digital injustices and environmental harms.
