Transformations of the Earth: International Graduate Student Workshop in 
Environmental History

Location: Renmin University, China

Conveners: Christof Mauch (Rachel Carson Center), Mingfang Xia (Renmin 
University), Donald Worster (Renmin University)

This conference is open to advanced graduate students and early postdocs, 
regardless of department, discipline, or country. The purpose of the conference 
is to provide promising, but inexperienced scholars an opportunity to present 
their work in progress (e.g., a chapter from a dissertation) before an 
international group of peers and a panel of senior mentors in the field.

Our theme is meant to be broad and inclusive. We will consider topics from any 
period of history or any part of the world. But especially we want to include 
new research on how societies, large or small, have transformed the natural 
world around them materially and in the process have changed their own 
structure, views of the world, or social-economic relations. In other words, we 
are interested in exploring the dynamics of reciprocal change. Studies of 
ideology or cultural attitudes are welcome, but only if they include the 
material dimensions of social/ecological transformation.

Those interested in attending should send a written proposal of one page in 
length (or about 300 words) and include a title and a one- or two-page CV. The 
proposals should be in English, although for speakers of Mandarin it is 
permissible to provide both a Chinese language version and an English.

The deadline for consideration is 1 January 2016. Successful proposals will be 
announced around 1 February, and complete drafts of papers (minimum of 5,000 
words in English or the equivalent in Chinese characters) will be required by 1 
May 2016. All papers will be circulated to the participants in advance and will 
not be presented orally during the conference.

The call for papers can be found 
here.

Please send proposals to both Agnes Kneitz 
a.kne...@ruc.edu.cn and Annka Liepold 
eve...@rcc.lmu.de

The senior mentors, who will provide critiques of all the papers, include 
Christof Mauch, director of the Rachel Carson Center, Munich; Peter C. Perdue, 
professor of Chinese history, Yale University; Lise Sedrez, professor of 
Brazilian history, Universidade Federal do Rio De Janeiro - Instituto de 
Filosofia e Ciências Sociais; and Mingfang Xia, Shen Hou, and Donald Worster, 
all faculty members in the Center for Ecological History.

Travel expenses for students living outside of China will be paid by the Rachel 
Carson Center for Environment and Society. Students living within China will be 
reimbursed for their travel expenses by Renmin University, which will also 
provide hotel rooms and meals for three days for all participants.

This is a co-sponsored event by the Center for Ecological History, Renmin 
University of China, and the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society, 
Ludwig Maximilian University, Munich, Germany

Subject: University of Strathclyde Law School Chancellor Fellow in 
International, European and/or Comparative Environmental Law


Dear Colleague,



The University of Strathclyde Law School in Glasgow is seeking to appoint an 
exceptional candidate in the field of International, European and/or 
Comparative Environmental Law. In particular,  we're looking for candidates 
interested in the concept of equity and sustainability by critically assessing 
the interactions among different legal regimes and different levels of 
regulation. We're also keen to appoint a candidate who is able to work across  
disciplinary boundaries allowing their work to deliver impact. Experience in 
socio-legal research and/or legal anthropology will be a bonus.



The successful candidate will work closely with Law School staff in a number of 
projects and knowledge exchange activities in a field which is at the heart of 
the University of  Strathclyde vision and strategy.



Chancellor Fellows are normally appointed at Lecturer level, the position will 
last for 5 years during which the fellow will be supported to establish her/his 
career as a research  leader and achieve rapid career progression. Fellows who 
meet the criteria for promotion by the end of the 5 year period will be 
transferred to an open-ended ("tenured" equivalent) academic appointment. 
Chancellor Fellows will hold a PhD, have postdoctoral  research experience and 
an emerging high quality publications record.



For further information about the post feel free to contact the Head of the Law 
School, Prof Bryan Clark, at 
bryan.cl...@strath.ac.uk. For further 
information about the post and on instructions on how to apply please click

[gep-ed] 'Pulp fiction' - on Europe's wood-burning power plants

[Paul Steinberg]

Dear Colleagues,

You might be interested in this eye-opening report on Europe's
wood-burning power plants, from John Upton of Climate Central.  It's a
scathing critique, and not an area I know well, so I would be
interested in any reactions, which I can compile off line.

http://reports.climatecentral.org/pulp-fiction/1/

With best wishes,
Paul
