ANNOUNCING THE EIGHTH ANNUAL
ENVIRONMENTAL POLITICAL THEORY WORKSHOP

Wednesday March 18, 2009, 9:00 - 5:00 PM, Location: Stanley
Hyatt Regency Hotel, Vancouver BC Canada,

The Environmental Political Theory workshop this year will include a primer on Canadian environmental politics, an urban ecology tour of Vancouver, and other sessions. Please RSVP to David Schlosberg (david.schlosberg@nau.edu) or LIz Shanahan (shanahan@montana.edu).

Held in conjunction with Western Political Science Association Annual Meeting. The environmental political theory workshop is designed to introduce or reintroduce scholars to people, concepts, and research focused on the intersections between political theory and studies of the environment. Our workshop is held annually at the Western and covers a broad range of topics such as green theory, animal rights, social-ecological systems, ancient and modern political philosophy as applied to environmental subjects, theories of nature, environmental activism, linkages among race, gender, and environment, indigenous perspectives on ecosystems and more.

The workshop is an opportunity to network with scholars sharing your interests and provides a forum to share information about syllabus development, research opportunities, teaching strategies, and the latest news from environmental political theorists. Please consider joining us in Vancouver, BC Canada this Spring - the location provides an excellent venue for considering the political theories of the environment!
