Dear all -- passing on the below on behalf of two excellent students in our Global Environmental Politics program at American. Please be in touch with them directly if you're interested in contributing a paper for their panel at the upcoming Dimensions of Political Ecology conference, Lexington, Kentucky, Feb 27-29, 2020. Best, Simon ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Annelise Straw <as46...@student.american.edu<mailto:as46...@student.american.edu>> Date: Tue, Oct 15, 2019 at 2:33 PM __________________________________ Dear All, We would like to invite you to submit abstracts to our session at the tenth annual Dimensions of Political Ecology (DOPE) conference. Additionally, we would like to ask you to please share this with any faculty or students you think might be interested in this session or the conference more generally. Dimensions of Political Ecology Conference February 27 – 29, 2020 University of Kentucky | Lexington, Kentucky, USA Title: It’s not just about getting your hands in the dirt: Decolonizing food education Co-organizers: Nathan Erwin and Annelise Straw | American University >From kindergarten through their senior year, public school students are >exposed to the unspoken complexities and power dynamics of the food system. >This session seeks to explore the political ecology of food, school gardens, >and food education through a decolonial pedagogy. School gardens can serve as >mechanisms of oppression; however, this session works to decolonize both food >education and the broader food system. We are accepting work that ranges from topic on large government entities’ impact on public education (such as the USDA and DoED) to the small but mighty acts that leads to food becoming an instrument of liberation. This session will be organized into rapid paper presentations followed by an extended panel discussion on the topic where academics sit beside expert-practitioners. This discussion structure is a commitment to community-scholar collaboration and intends to facilitate equitable dialogue with the intent of producing an ongoing working group. This session’s discussion will be elevated beyond this conference through local public media. Paper themes that may contribute to the goal of this session include: * Erasure of agricultural knowledge within the food system * Critiquing the coloniality of school gardens * Why school gardens fail? - Labor? Funding? Class? * School gardens as spaces of whiteness * Big agriculture’s grasp on school garden seeds * The DoED/USDA’s Neoliberal policies impacting school food * Racialization of food education and the eurocentric notion of nutrition If interested, please email a 200 word abstract and a brief synopsis of how your interests relate to this conversation on decolonial perspectives of food education to Annelise Straw (as46...@american.edu) and Nate Erwin (nathanerwi...@gmail.com<mailto:nathanerwi...@gmail.com>) by October 30. Participants will be notified by November 8, 2019 and must submit their abstract to DOPE by December 1, 2019. Note: DOPE requires that all participants in pre-organized sessions be registered for the conference and submit their abstracts by December 1, 2019. -- Simon Nicholson, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of International Relations Co-Director of the Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy Director of the Forum for Climate Engineering Assessment School of International Service American University 4400 Massachusetts Avenue NW Washington DC 20016 // +1.202.885.1614 Links: Homepage<http://www.american.edu/sis/faculty/snichols.cfm> // GEP Program<http://www.american.edu/sis/gep> // Forum for Climate Engineering Assessment<http://dcgeoconsortium.org/> // Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy<http://www.american.edu/sis/carbonremoval> Some Recent Articles and Reports "Governing Climate Engineering<https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/11/14/3954>" (2019) Sustainability "Toward Legitimate Governance of Solar Geoengineering Research<https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/21550085.2018.1562526>" (2019) Ethics, Policy & Environment "Geoengineering: Governing Solar Radiation Management<https://rsa.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09644016.2019.1558515#.XVf4NOhKjIU>" (2019) Environmental Politics "Why Talk About Carbon Removal?<https://www.american.edu/sis/centers/carbon-removal/research.cfm>" (2018) Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy "Governing Solar Radiation Management<http://www.ceassessment.org/SRMreport>" (2018) Forum for Climate Engineering Assessment TEDx Talk: "Climate Geoengineering: Coming Soon to a Planet Near You?<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2UoGcqIT3Q>" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gep-ed" group.
