Dr. Carroll was found Director of the Interdisciplinary Program in Social Justice Studies at the University of Victoria. He is a critical sociologist with research interests in the political economy/ecology of corporate capitalism, social movements and social change, and critical social theory and method. His current research is focused around the relationships between corporate power, fossil capitalism and the climate crisis. He co-directs "Mapping the power of the carbon-extractive corporate resource sector," an SSHRC-funded partnership of several universities and civil-society organizations which traces the modalities of corporate power and resistance within the global political economy, focusing on fossil capital based in western Canada.
