-Be part of a new
edited volume addressing global climate change, tentatively
titled World
Turning: Race, Class, Gender, and Global Climate Change! For
this unique
volume, (publisher to be confirmed once submissions are), we are
seeking
contributions from academics and activists with experience and
expertise in
addressing the social dimensions of global climate change in
their work, with a
particular focus on intersections of race, class, gender, and
other social
markers. World Turning is intended to be a multidisciplinary
reader that will
introduce undergraduate and graduate students to the major
issues and debates
surrounding the study of intersectionality and global climate
change. The volume
will be broadly organized into sections on the social and
natural sciences, as
well as public health, art and literature. Specifically, we are
seeking essays
or articles between 15-25 pages (including notes) that address
any aspect of
climate change: legal, political, social, educational,
agricultural, economic,
religious, sexual, ideological, international, local, etc. and
that incorporate
an intersectional analysis. In addition, we are seeking original
essays,
poetry, investigative reporting or other creative works
(including art) that
also address climate change in relation to any form of activism.
Contributions
may be visual, empirical, theoretical or any other creative
form, and may be
between 1-20 pages (including notes). Preference will be given
to original
pieces but we may also consider previously published pieces. If
you are
interested in contributing, please submit a 500 word abstract of
your piece (or
details / examples of your art / activism) with the title,
author, and
institutional or organizational affiliation (if any) to Dr.
Phoebe Godfrey at <a href="mailto:phoebe.godfrey@uconn.edu">phoebe.godfrey@uconn.edu</a>,

PhD student to
work on a modeling project that investigates the potential
tradeoffs between
managing forests for efficient provision of goods and services
and adaptability
in relation to global change factors and in the context of
complex adaptive system
theory. The project will be coordinated between the University
of Quebec a
Montreal (UQAM), Oregon State University, and the Swedish
University of
Agricultural Sciences, Umeå, Sweden; with the student being
based at the UQAM,
but travelling among the three universities. Required
qualifications include a
basic training in forestry, forest ecology, and forest economic
and a strong
background in quantitative sciences and modeling. To apply or
for further
information, send a letter of interest outlining your
suitability and
motivation, a CV, and a list of references to Klaus Puettmann (<a
