Publication of short-statements about “Just and Plural Political Ecologies: Traditions and Futures”

Dear community and participants of the POLLEN 2024 Conference:

As a run-up to the POLLEN 2024 conference, the Journal of Political Ecology – Grassroots has published a set of short statements about “just and plural political ecologies; traditions and futures”.  The original call for papers can be found here.

The authors of these statements intend to generate and “open conversation” that will continue through the POLLEN meetings, and afterward.  It is the first step in an effort to publish a special volume on the conference topic in three journals: The Journal of Political Ecology; Ecologia Politica, and the Journal of the Geographical Association of Tanzania.  

These statements are posted on the website of the Journal of Political Ecology – Grassroots

You may find the statements HERE. 

Participants in the upcoming conference are encourage to review these statements and engage with the ideas in any way they feel appropriate. Although the initial deadline has passed for these short statements, additional statements up until the conference dates can be received. However, it wont be possible to publish them on the website before the conference.

At the POLLEN 2024 conference, the three abovementioned journals will participate in a plenary session on “publishing for just and plural political ecologies,” commenting on major themes from the conference and the role of our journals in disseminating knowledge.

After the conference, the journals will emit a Call for short statements as well as article-length manuscripts for a jointly published Special Volume on the topic of “just and equitable political ecologies.”

Sincerely,
