Where to get help
If you need help editing or submitting your draft, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors. These venues are only for help with editing and the submission process, not to get reviews.
If you need feedback on your draft, or if the review is taking a lot of time, you can try asking for help on the
talk page of a
relevant WikiProject. Some WikiProjects are more active than others so a speedy reply is not guaranteed.
To improve your odds of a faster review, tag your draft with relevant
WikiProject tags using the button below. This will let reviewers know a new draft has been submitted in their area of interest. For instance, if you wrote about a female astronomer, you would want to add the Biography, Astronomy, and Women scientists tags.
Comment: It needs a little work on NPOV, and some more content.

Discipline encompassing the sociopolitical analysis of waste
Discard studies is an interdisciplinary field of research that focuses on the study of waste, pollution, and the concept of "discard" in various social, cultural, economic, and environmental contexts. Scholars in this field examine the processes of production, consumption, and disposal, as well as the social and cultural implications of discarding objects, materials, and ideas.[1]
Subjects
Discard studies encompass a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:
Waste Management: Examining how societies manage and dispose of waste, including the infrastructure, policies, and technologies involved.[2]
Environmental Justice: Investigating the unequal distribution of environmental burdens, such as waste sites and pollution, and how marginalized communities are disproportionately affected.[3]
Consumerism and Consumption Patterns: Analyzing the relationships between consumption habits, planned obsolescence, and the generation of waste.[4]
Material Culture: Exploring the social and cultural significance of objects and materials, both in their production and disposal.[5]
Political Economy of Waste: Investigating the economic structures that contribute to the generation and management of waste, including the influence of industries and policies.[6]
Historical Perspectives: Tracing the historical development of waste practices and attitudes toward discards in different societies.[7]
