Dear GEP-ED folks,
The cat is out of the bag in Mexico and in Canada, so I might as well share the news with you all worldwide. After a few years teaching at UBC, I have taken a tenure-track Assistant Professor position at CIDE (Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas, Center for Economic Research and Teaching) in Mexico. I am based out of their new campus in Aguascalientes in central Mexico. While my affiliation is with the Public Administration Division, I will continue to do comparative environmental policy and global environmental politics as well (those of you unfamiliar with my research agenda can check my website http://www.raulpacheco.org <http://www.raulpacheco.org/> ). I am writing on deadline (thanks Kate for forwarding my message!) because the International Association for the Study of the Commons (IASC 2013) and Latin American Studies Association (LASA) deadlines for panel proposals are coming up (LASA closes in 3 days), and I find myself with a couple of interested people but not enough to assemble full panels. I am proposing a panel at IASC 2013 on sub-theme 14: Advancing research on the commons (which is more theoretical and methodological) on the challenges of undertaking quantitative and qualitative research on the commons and one panel on water governance and cross-scalar complexity for sub-theme 8. http://www.iasc2013.org/en/sub-themes.html <http://www.iasc2013.org/en/sub-themes.html#cat14> I am still accepting participants in either panel. Deadline for IASC 2013 has been moved to end of September, but ideally I would like to submit the panel ASAP. I am also proposing a panel at LASA on the comparative politics of resource governance in Latin America. My own paper will describe my project comparing the socio-political dynamics of waste picking in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. I am open to comparative papers on water governance, forests, fisheries, municipal waste management, etc. Deadline for LASA 2013 is September 1st, so I need abstracts by August 31st. I recognize that not many GEP-EDers might be interested in Latin America, but I am sure that there are at least a few who have an interest in those countries. Do contact me, NOT to my UBC email but to my CIDE one (raul.pacheco-vega[@]cide.edu <http://cide.edu/> ). You can also reach me on my personal one, raul.pachecovega AT gmail DOT com. Thanks very much in advance! Raul -- _____________________________________________________________________ Dr. Raul Pacheco-Vega Assistant Professor, Public Administration Division CIDE, AC.
