>"Globalization, Environmental Ethics and Environmental Justice"

>International Conference on August 24-28, 2006
>
>Organized by the Lyman Briggs School of Science at Michigan State
>University
>
>Papers are invited for the following interdisciplinary conference, to be
>held at Michigan State University (East Lansing, Michigan) and focused
>on unfolding environmental developments. As globalization advances and
>the global character of many environmental problems become more
>manifest, wider perspectives are stimulated in local environmental
>traditions. In North America, a burgeoning environmental justice
>movement makes links between environmental damage, poverty and race that
>strongly recall longstanding political concerns in Europe and the South.
>In Western Europe, skepticism and mistrust of GM and other new deep
>technologies raises questions about the character of "nature" long
>discussed in relation to the American wilderness tradition. About the
>globe, environmental activists grapple with new problems of human
>impacts, risk, technology, consumption and just distribution, and
>articulate new visions of the future. This conference aims to bring
>together a range of disparate voices across the globe and the
>disciplines, broadening these new international discussions by bringing
>distinctly American traditions of environmental ethics into dialogue
>with international concerns in environmental politics, philosophy,
>literature, sociology, history and economics. The conference is
>organized by the Lyman Briggs School of Science, which has long
>pioneered research co-operation right across the disciplines between
>arts and sciences at Michigan State University, the USA's first
>land-grant university.
