[gep-ed] Attend the Environmental Politics & Theory Alt-APSA, Saturday, Sept. 2
Dear Colleagues, Given that APSA has decided not to cancel, nor host their event online, the Environmental Politics and Theory Related Group encouraged participants to cancel panels in support of striking hotel workers. In lieu of a face-to-face program, my Co-Chair, Gregory Koutnik, and I will host a virtual Alt-APSA this upcoming Saturday, September 2. We would like to invite you to attend our virtual business meeting, a roundtable (Should the APSA Switch to Alternative In-Person and Virtual Conferences), and panel (Post-Politics and Political Contestation). We hope to see you later this week. Warmest regards, Gregory Koutnik and Mary Witlacil Program Co-Chairs, Environmental Politics and Theory, APSA *Mary E.

[gep-ed] CFP: APSA 2023, Deadline January 18th
***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 Related Group here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bsAYbBDn7-7q2dYCwgLjv5143h6hGH6W57Ha52roUoc/edit?usp=sharing>. We also encourage current EP 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.

[gep-ed] EXTENDED DEADLINE: Present with Environmental Politics and Theory Group for APSA 2021
***Apologies for cross-posting!*** Dear all, The deadline to submit abstracts <https://www.apsanet.org/annualmeeting> for the American Political Science Association's (APSA) annual conference has been extended to this Thursday, January 28, 2021! 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, “Promoting Pluralism." You can find our group's CFP below, as well as here <https://connect.apsanet.org/apsa2021/related-group-calls/>. You can also find instructions for how to submit an abstract for the APSA conference, and how to join the EP Related Group, here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bsAYbBDn7-7q2dYCwgLjv5143h6hGH6W57Ha52roUoc/edit?usp=sharing>. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me (gkout...@hamilton.edu <mailto:gkout...@hamilton.edu>) or Mary Witlacil (witla...@colostate.edu <mailto:witla...@colostate.edu>). Here’s hoping we will be able to meet in-person in Seattle in Fall of 2021! Best, Mary Witlacil and Gregory Koutnik Environmental Politics and Theory Co-Chairs 2021: Environmental Politics and Theory Group: CFP In the spirit of APSA’s 2021 theme, “Promoting Pluralism,” the Environmental Politics and Theory Related Group calls for papers which embody or examine the inherent methodological, demographic, and theoretical diversity of the field. We are particularly interested in work that explores the complex interconnections between global environmental politics, widely celebrated political values (like toleration, mutual respect, democracy, and political equality), and developing socio-political trends (including the rise of new authoritarianisms, increasingly trenchant racism and nationalism, yawning inequality, and powerful, youth- and minority-led protest movements). What can the diverse methods of political theorists and scientists tell us about our manifold environmental crises, or how to address them? What do prevailing approaches problematically tend to obscure? Which thinkers or bodies-of-knowledge—from indigenous studies to neo-classical economics—are environmental-politics scholars under-utilizing or overlooking, and why is this a problem? What could the field, as a whole, be doing to draw in and amplify voices that have too often been left out, silenced, or ignored? How should scholars, societies, and governments attempt to navigate the tensions between the inherently global nature of environmental politics and the inexorably local experience of environmental change? What can they do to reconcile the often alienatingly technocratic aspects of environmental policy and policymaking with the popular and democratic politics needed for such policies to succeed? While the Environmental Politics and Theory Related Group especially welcomes proposals that engage the themes and issues described above, any submission that addresses the wide-ranging issues relevant to environmental politics and theory will be considered. In keeping with APSA’s goals of increasing diversity, inclusion, and access throughout the profession, we also strongly encourage proposals from scholars who belong to historically underrepresented groups, especially including those from minority racial and ethnic communities, low-income and working-class families, non-Anglophonic countries, and the LGBTQI community. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gep-ed" group.
