Schlosberg earned his Bachelor of Arts in politics and psychology, graduating from the University of California at Santa Cruz with honors in 1985. He then read for a Master of Science and doctorate in political science at the University of Oregon (UO), completing in 1996. In 1996, he started a job in political theory and environmental politics at the Department of Politics and International Affairs, Northern Arizona University (NAU). He was an affiliate at what is now the School of Earth and Sustainability at NAU, chaired the Department of Politics and International Relations, and co-founded and directed the Environmental Studies Program. Schlosberg moved to the University of Sydney in 2011, as Professor of Environmental Politics in the Department of Government and International Relations. There, he co-founded and co-directed the multidisciplinary Sydney Environment Institute. == Research ==

Schlosberg's main theoretical interests are in environmental politics, environmental movements, and political theory, and in particular the intersection of the three with his work on environmental justice. In environmental justice studies, he is known for first developing the theoretical framework that encompasses the movement's pluralist concerns about equity, recognition, participation, and capabilities. His other theoretical interests are in climate justice, ecological, and multispecies justice, climate adaptation and resilience, and environmental movements and the practices of everyday life. Schlosberg's more applied work, with local and state governments, includes justice in adaptation and resilience planning, the social impacts of climate change, and community-based food movements and policy. ==Selected publications==
