ANNOUNCING THE SEVENTH ANNUAL
ENVIRONMENTAL POLITICAL THEORY WORKSHOP

Wednesday March 19, 2008, San Diego -
Manchester Grand Hyatt
Location: Cunnihgham AB

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 San Diego this Spring - the location provides an excellent venue for considering the political theories of the environment!
