Proposals are sought for presentations, self-organized panels and
roundtables for a symposium on environmental justice to be held at
Colorado State University 24-25 April 2017.
The symposium aims to bring together academics, independent researchers,
community and movement activists, and regulatory and policy
practitioners from across disciplines, research areas, perspectives, and
different countries. Our overarching goal is to build on several decades
of EJ research and practice to address the seemingly intractable
environmental and ecological problems of this unfolding era. How can we
explore EJ amongst humans and between nature and humans, within and
across generations, in an age when humans dominate the landscape? How
can we better understand collective human dominance without obscuring
continuing power differentials and inequities within and between human
societies? What institutional and governance innovations can we adopt to
address existing challenges and to promote just transitions and futures?
Abstracts due November 1, 2016.

Science is not a major or a career. It is a
commitment to a systematic way of thinking,
an allegiance to a way of building knowledge

The thing is, that isn’t a normal way of thinking.
It is unnatural and counterintuitive. It has to
be learned.
