announcing a call for papers for its annual graduate scholarship conference,

Urban ecologies, limits of "nature as discourse," possibility of scientific
objectivity, domination of nature or the production of nature, rewriting
nature writing, socio-biological restructuring of "race," ecologies of
social reproduction, political economies of development, indigeounous
people's ecologies, ecofeminism and feminist environmentalism, environmental
racism, etc.
Papers should be 8-10 pages in length. Please send 4 copies of your paper,
a cover page that includes your address, telephone number, and departmental/
institutional affiliation, and a one-paragraph abstract (4 copies); relevant
media (slides, audio/video tapes) should be noted. Panel proposals will
