Greenwashing Culture examines the complicity of culture with our environmental crisis. Through its own carbon footprint, the promotion of image-friendly environmental credentials for celebrities, and the mutually beneficial engagement with big industry polluters, culture both operates as a crucial polluter and enables environmental criminals to propagandize with local, national, and international communities in search of a social license to operate.

Professor Toby Miller is one of the world’s leading Cultural Studies scholars and theorists.
