John Peter Antonacci is a PhD Candidate (ABD) at SUNY Binghamton’s Department of Sociology, where he studies and teaches world-ecology, military sociology, and environmental history. His dissertation, tentatively titled "Climates of Coercion, Climates of Capital: Military Revolutions in the Capitalist World-Ecology, 1492-1815," situates military revolutions as turning points in the environmental history of early modern capitalism. Chapter themes center on the Columbian Invasions of the Long Sixteenth Century, European Invasions of Ming China & the Ottoman Empire during the Crisis of the Seventeenth Century, the Seven Years' War (1756-1763) in North America, and the French Revolutionary/Napoleonic Wars (1789-1815.)

He has published on several themes orbiting issues of environmental (in)justice from an historical-sociological perspective, including on the environmental, military, and labor history of the Columbian invasions of the sixteenth century, on climate science as ideology, on the political ecology of historical Nazism, and on the history on oyster production on Long Island, New York. 

He holds a B.A. in Sociology and Philosophy from St. Joseph's College New York, and an M.A. in Sociology from the New School for Social Research in New York.
