I was wondering whether anybody would be interested in the information below. I
guess that an archaeological perspective would be very valuable

Call for Essays: Environmentalism
Peace Review, a Routledge/Taylor & Francis quarterly, multidisciplinary,
transnational journal of research and analysis, welcomes original
contributions, policy analyses, and research for a special issue addressing
the intersection of global environmental change, issues and empire. Ideally,
we seek papers that draw out insight on the following broad concerns:
* Environmental resistance movements
* Environmental ethics and power
* Gender, ecological change, and empire
* Impacts of ecological change on human rights and vulnerable groups
* Notions of power, privilege, and priorities in globalization and the
environment
* Teaching global environmental change
* The use of history and sustainability
* Political theories of empire-nature relations
* Re-casting use of theories of imperialism that incorporate ecology
* Climate change as it relates to empire or oppressive power relations
* Conservation in and outside empire
* Structural conditions for environmental policy in and out of empire
* How to normalize/ mainstream ecological awareness and to refute those
that deem global warming as conspiracy theory
* How to address sociological and generational differences in remaking a
sustainable world
* Processes and politics of waste, recycling, and hazards at home and
abroad
Peace Review publishes essays on ideas and research in peace studies,
broadly defined. Our essays are relatively short (2500-3500 words), and are
intended for a wide readership. We are most interested in the cultural and
political issues surrounding conflicts occurring between nations and
peoples. Since we are a transnational journal (we distribute to more than 40
nations), we want to avoid speaking with the voice of any particular
national culture or politics. Relevant topics include war, violence, human
rights, political economy, development, culture and consciousness, the
environment, and related issues. Generally, we do not reprint essays that
have been published elsewhere.
Please send essays on this theme by April 15, 2007. Essays should
run between 2500 and 3500 words, and should be jargon- and footnote-
free. See Submission Guidelines at:
