      abstract = {The state of environmental crises demands increased  efforts to shift society away from its current course,  which is doing damage to the biosphere at an alarming rate.  This research uses computational methods to explore the  evolution of environmental activism and environmental  social science from 2005 to 2021, as well as the uses of  social science in environmental activism and vice versa.  Relying on online environmental magazines and academic  journal abstracts, the primary methodologies employed are  keyword frequencies, LDA topic models, and skip-gram word  embedding models. Results show an increasing focus in both  communities on climate change, social justice, and  community-based solutions. The potential for increasing  collaboration between environmental activists and  environmental social scientists is discussed.},
