***Apologies for cross-posting!*** Dear all, The deadline to submit abstracts <https://connect.apsanet.org/apsa2023/> for the American Political Science Association's (APSA) annual conference is Wednesday, January 18, 2023! The Environmental Politics and Theory Related Group <https://www.apsanet.org/RESOURCES/Related-Groups> welcomes proposals on any topic in environmental politics and theory, and especially those related to this year's conference theme, "Rights and Responsibilities in an Age of Mis- and Disinformation." You can find our group's CFP below, as well as here <https://connect.apsanet.org/apsa2023/related-group-calls-2/>.
Even if you do not plan on submitting a paper proposal for the APSA conference this year, we encourage anyone with interests in environmental politics and theory to consider joining our related group. You can find easy instructions for how to submit an abstract to the APSA conference and how to join the EP&T Related Group here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bsAYbBDn7-7q2dYCwgLjv5143h6hGH6W57Ha52roUoc/edit?usp=sharing>. We also encourage current EP&T members to renew their affiliation with our related group to help maintain our community of scholars! Just remember that an APSA membership is required in order to be a member of any APSA related group. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me (koutni...@beloit.edu <mailto:koutni...@beloit.edu>) or Mary Witlacil (witla...@colostate.edu <mailto:witla...@colostate.edu>). We look forward to seeing you in Los Angeles! Best, Gregory Koutnik and Mary Witlacil Environmental Politics and Theory Co-Chairs ---- Mary E. Witlacil (she/her) Ph.D Candidate, Political Science Colorado State University Email: witla...@colostate.edu <mailto:witla...@colostate.edu> Website: https://marywitlacil.com/ <http://marywitlacil.com/> 2023: Environmental Politics and Theory Group: CFP We are pleased to announce the call for papers for the 2023 Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association to be held in Los Angeles, California, August 31-September 3, 2023. The Environmental Politics and Theory Related Group welcomes proposals for individual papers and panels on a wide range of environmental issues from diverse theoretical perspectives. We especially look forward to proposals that speak to the intersection between environmental politics, political theory, and the 2023 APSA theme of mis-/disinformation. It is clear that mis- and disinformation are becoming pervasive elements of the contemporary political landscape. We invite you to reflect on how false or misleading information disrupts environmental politics, reinforces anti-environmental perspectives, and enables climate denial. Further, who is alienated or marginalized by the perpetuation of mis- and disinformation in environmental politics? When false information enables climate denial, in what ways do freedom of expression and the right to free speech inhibit climate justice and the right to a livable planet? Finally, how has anti-science rhetoric during the pandemic fueled a broader skepticism toward “experts,” and how does this affect environmental politics and efforts to address climate change in light of scientific evidence? As always, we are thrilled to read proposals that discuss new or emerging trends in environmental political theory, as well as those that comment on the broader state and trajectory of environmental politics and theory. What prevailing assumptions, arguments, and frameworks are in need of rethinking in order for environmental scholarship and politics to move forward? In what ways might political, economic, and social systems need fundamental restructuring to address the environmental crises of our time? Moreover, might the academic disciplines that study environmental politics and theory need to be rethought and restructured as well to meet the challenges of environmental scholarship in a time of crisis? Finally, in what ways might scholars reconnect with the world of practice and political action, and how might practitioners of environmental politics reconnect with neglected constituencies, movements, and ways of thinking (including, but not limited to, indigenous and postcolonial ones)? In keeping with APSA’s goal of increasing diversity, inclusion, and access throughout the profession, we also strongly encourage proposals from scholars who belong to historically underrepresented groups, especially those from minority racial and ethnic communities, low-income and working-class backgrounds, non-Anglophone countries, and the LGBTQ+ community. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gep-ed" group.
