CFP: The Journal of Ecopedagogy

Green Theory & Praxis

The Journal of Ecopedagogy is proud to announce both a general Call for Papers for its upcoming June and December issues and its recent move from California State University,Fresno to a new home as the flagship journal of the Ecopedagogy Association International. Please visit us at http://greentheoryandpraxis.org.

Green Theory & Praxis represents a scholarly effort to present research papers and essays at the transformative nexus of ecological politics and culture, social structures, sustainability education and ecocriticism. The editorial board of the journal takes the position that many human societies and their attendant political economy and cultural norms depart strikingly from what is needed to maintain ecological harmony and planetary/species flourishing. The journal seeks to offer a forum for careful study of the theoretical and rhetorical positions, political and economic adjustments, behavioral and institutional alterations, pedagogical and cultural mobilizations, and spiritual emergences that will or should emerge in response to increasing ecological damage of both a physical and psychic nature. We seek critical analysis of the root causes of various ecological crises and to link theory to concrete prospects for social change through pedagogy broadly conceived. Given the scope and complexity of our approach, we anticipate transdisciplinary research papers, and we invite scholars and activists from countries throughout the world to submit manuscripts for peer review.

CFPs a plenty

thinking about how to find out about calls for papers (CFPs) that i might not otherwise hear about. searched google and, apart from a number of links to pages about "certified financial planners" or "canadian family physician," came up with the wikipedia article on the subject. in it's infinite wisdom (no reification intended), i was externally linked to eventseer.net.

good lord! never more for want of a CFP any day of the year, any place in the world, methinks...

all kinds of disciplines, all kinds of minds: positivists and relativists, ethnographers and ecologists, Marxists and neo-luddites, Baudrillardians and Benjaminians alike.

trouble is to search through it all for something relevant (as nice as adaptive hypermedia systems and adaptive information agents sound as categories, i think i'd have better luck with adaptive learning—then again, maybe not).

ugg—what a headache. here's one for humanities/social sciences... http://www.h-net.org/announce/

For Chrisa Snow

I was thinking of newsletters that I'm signed up with (as if I actually read half of them anyway) and this one seemed that could be interesting for you: new economics foundation (nef). It is Europe-based, but then again, there is nothing wrong with Europeans.

Plus they have a fellowship programme:

nef (the new economics foundation) and the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) are launching a Fellowship Programme to add to new thinking on the challenges of applying economics to environment and development.

The inaugural nef-IIED Fellowship prize will be awarded to an outstanding researcher through a competitive process. The Fellowship will be full-time, for a duration of four months and the successful candidate will divide their time between nef and IIED. This is an exciting opportunity for someone to make a real contribution to both theory and practice: to both help frame the debate and chart the way forward, and to play a part in moving us from an unsustainable to a more sustainable economic system.

The successful candidate will receive a bursary of up to £15,000 on successful completion of the four-month project.
