Professors Mark Neuzil (University of St. Thomas), Eric Freedman (Michigan State) and Sara Shipley Hiles (Missouri) are developing a proposal for a peer-reviewed book that highlights recent international public policy, economics, mass media and culture, and resource management research about endangered and threatened species. We are seeking proposals for chapters of 4,000-4,300 words. All we need at this point is a working title, an abstract of 100-150 words and the CVs of the authors. We will carefully review the submissions to determine which to include in our proposal to the publisher in early 2019.

Suzannah Evans Comfort (Indiana U), Bruno Takahashi (Michigan State U), Julia Metag (Universität Freiburg), and Jagadish Thaker (Massey U) are co-organizing the pre-conference “Environmental Communication Beyond Boundaries: Transnational, international, and comparative approaches to understanding environmental issues" at ICA 2019. We seek a diverse array of presentations, and especially welcome submissions from and about the Global South.” Partial funding, between $500 to $1500, will be available to about 8-10 participants.

We invite you to submit chapter proposals for an edited volume focusing on pedagogy related to fossil fuel pipeline controversies. The proposed volume stems from a well received panel on pipeline pedagogy at the 2018 Association for Environmental Studies and Sciences Conference in Washington, D.C. We have since learned that many more faculty, practitioners, community organizers and activists are working on educational efforts related to pipelines and other energy contestations.
