Steve,
If you happen to know anyone who would be interested in the following, I'd
appreciate you forwarding this on to them.
Tim
> A CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
>
> The Simplicity Forum is a national network of leaders from a wide range of
> fields who believe that our current culture of consumption is not only
> ecologically unsustainable, but also detracts from people's physical and
> psychological well-being, as well as the health of our community. As a
> result, we are interested in facilitating a movement toward a simpler, more
> sustainable, and higher quality of life that is less focused on materialism
> and consumption.
>
> A primary goal of the Forum is to foster and sustain an academic field of
> studies around voluntary simplicity, consumption, community, and related
> issues. We are therefore looking for researchers or graduate students who
> would like to do research that will complement the work of activists and
> other leaders in developing a social movement toward simplicity. We are open
> to a wide range of research methodology and scholarly work from a variety of
> disciplines.
>
> We invite applications to join with us in our endeavor. Three applicants will
> be chosen to attend the Simplicity Forum's second annual gathering at Oberlin
> College in Oberlin, Ohio from August 22nd-25th, 2002 (all conference expenses
> will be covered, including up to $400 for travel). Attendees will have the
> opportunity to meet with leaders from a wide variety of fields, to discuss
> issues and challenges facing a movement for simplicity, and to develop
> potential areas for collaboration and social change. Information about the
> first gathering of the Simplicity Forum can be found at
> http://www.simplicityforum.org.
>
> All applicants will be included in a small, informal network of researchers
> with an interest in simplicity and related areas of research. This network
> aims to foster collaboration, colleague feedback, ideas, and synergies. (If
> you cannot attend in August, but would like to join the network, please make
> note of it in your letter of application.)

> Please send a letter of application detailing your interest in the Simplicity
> Forum's field of study and your research interests and projects (planned or
