Dear All,
For those of you attending the annual ISA conference in New Orleans next week, I am soliciting a last minute discussant for a panel on sectors, industries and environmental impacts (see below for details). I'm happy to say that you've not heard much from me this year on filling last minute holes in the environmental studies program. As usual, the discussant role will be filled on a first come, first served basis. Please email me directly if you'd like the job ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>). It looks like a fun panel. Thanks in advance! Best, Susan (ESS program chair) The details of the panel are: TC73: Sectors, Industries And Environmental Impacts When: Thursday, February 19, 1:45 PM - 3:30 PM Where: Leeward, Hilton New Orleans Riverside<http://www.isanet.org/Conferences/Location-Detail/mid/6749/Room/228?popUp=true> About this Panel Title Sectors, Industries And Environmental Impacts Sponsored By * Environmental Studies<http://www.isanet.org/ISA/Sections/ESS.aspx> * International Political Economy<http://www.isanet.org/ISA/Sections/IPE.aspx> Chairs and Discussants * Chair: Cristina M.

The panel investigates the governance gap in the field of nanotechnology, the chains of accountability in local tourism markets in developing countries, the ability to regulate polluters in concentrated markets despite their influence, and how oil spills fit within a neoliberal market where environmental problems can be managed. Finally the panel questions whether a virtuous circle of consumerism can be established in areas such as Amazon based cosmetics.
