Why should we save America's wilderness areas? True and lasting protection for the environment, Political Science Professor Dr. Jo Arney argues, will be borne of a shared understanding of the answer to this question. Wilderness and the Common Good attempts to provide an answer by examining how wilderness and its preservation enriches human lives.

Jo Arney is an associate professor in the Department of Political Science and Public Administration at the University of Wisconsin– La Crosse. Her main area of teaching and research interest is in environmental politics and policy. Dr. Arney is also one of the lead scholars in the creation of a nationwide blended course about the stewardship of public lands being developed by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities.

Arney lives on an old farmstead in Coon Valley, Wisconsin with her husband, Jeremy, canine companions, Marley and Huck, and feline companions, Lincoln and Carter. Her hobbies include gardening, camping, hiking, and sitting around a campfire whenever possible.

Industry Reviews

"Weaving together her personal story, her teaching experiences, and insightful political analysis, Jo Arney has created a thoughtful study of the relationship between citizenship and wilderness. Throughout her study, she makes an eloquent plea for a quest for common ground, rejecting the bitter divisiveness and polarization that characterizes so much of our national political life today. On the 50th anniversary of the creation of the Wilderness Act, Wilderness and the Common Good is a fitting and illuminating tribute." -- George L. Mehaffy, Vice President, American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) "Finding that common ground is a theme of Arney's new book, Wilderness and the Common Good--A New Ethic of Citizenship, which was published in May. Each chapter looks at different arguments surrounding the environment and protecting America's wilderness areas, which are then blended with Arney's personal experiences." -- La Crosse Tribune
