Laura Alex Frye-Levine, PhD

  

Is the continued escalation of environmental problems indicative of an incompleteness in rationality or a failure of rationality?

My dissertation, 'The Ecology of Heterodoxy,' is an ethnography of knowledge production at the intersection of ecology and economics. I theorize the process by which the social and epistemic practices of a social science - economics - might be rearticulated to comply with the epistemology of a natural science - ecology.  

This 'epistemic ethnography' charts the interdisciplinary effort to illuminate, articulate, and implement a distinction between the application of economic instruments to nature (orthodoxy) and reformist efforts to incorporate ecological priniciples into economics (heterodoxy).
