From: Stacia Ryder [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 05, 2016 12:49 PM Subject: Call for Papers: Special Session on Environmental Justice & Natural Resource Extraction Hello and Happy New Year to you all! I am pleased to share with you that Dr. Stephanie Malin and I are hosting an exciting special session at the 2016 ISSRM meetings in Houghton, MI. Abstracts are due no later than January 11, 2016, so time is of the essence! The special session,“Intersectional Environmental Justice & Natural Resource Extraction," will approach environmental justice as intersectional justice—that is, the extent to which ‘interlocking systems of oppression’ shape environmental justice experiences in the context of natural resources extraction and energy production, both across and within stratified populations. We are looking for papers to explore: situated and contextual environmental knowledges; practices that display intersections among structures of oppression; and their differential impacts on communities (both physical and identity-based) in relation to energy development, agriculture, or extractive industries and consequential technological disasters. Papers should examine one or more of the following: 1) intersecting forms of environmental injustice in these contexts; 2) multiplicative experiences of environmental injustice in these contexts; OR 3) intersecting forms of structural natural recourse dependence that create or exacerbate environmental injustice. This session will highlight the hidden, interwoven inequities currently under-analyzed in studies of society and natural resources. We welcome perspectives from a variety of settings, methodological approaches, and theoretical orientations! To be considered as a participant, please submit an abstract of no more then 500 words by January 11, 2016. Abstracts should be included as electronic files and emails to Stacia Ryder, at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>. For general information on the ISSRM Conference or on IASNR, please see: (see: http://www.iasnr.org/?page_id=1059). The full Call for Papers can be accessed below. Any questions? Feel free to email Stephanie (stephanie/[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>) or me! Please also feel free to distribute this call to your networks. All Best, Stacia Ryder Full Call for Papers “Intersectional Environmental Justice & Natural Resource Extraction” Special Session at the 2016 International Symposium on Society and Resource Management Houghton, Michigan Organizers: Stephanie A. Malin, Ph.D. & Stacia S. Ryder Colorado State University We encourage abstract submissions for our special session at the 2016 ISSRM meeting. We encourage submissions the take a comparative approach, and welcome abstracts from a variety of research settings, methodological approaches, and theoretical perspectives. Please provide us with an abstract of no more than 500 words by January 11, 2016. Please send your abstract as an electronic attachment to: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>. Special Session Description: Environmental sociologists have found that environmental risks are inequitably distributed within and among communities in the U.S. and internationally, where locally-undesirable land uses (LULUs) (Freudenburg 1993) concentrate among under-served and marginalized populations, (see Bell and York 2010; Brown 2007; Mohai, Roberts, and Pellow 2009; Pellow 2001, 2002, 2012). In a largely unconnected literature, rural sociologists have built a substantial foundation of knowledge about extractive industries, persistent poverty, and economic instabilities associated with resource dependent communities (see Brown et al 2003, England and Albrecht, 1984; Swanson, et al., 2003). Often, these extractive or energy production industries are located in rural or otherwise marginalized communities, yet the EJ implications remain under-analyzed. Despite these firm foundations, social scientists have yet to systematically explore environmental injustice using an intersectional lens, particularly in analyzing intersecting experiences of injustice in a context of natural resource dependence. The void of intersectional analysis of within-group difference is particularly striking when thinking about the nuanced EJ outcomes of energy production, extractive industries, and related development in marginalized populations. There is much more to critically analyze at the convergence of identity, lived experiences, intersecting structures of oppression, and subjugated knowledge in the context of extraction and energy production. In attempt to address this gap in the literature, this session will approach environmental justice as intersectional justice—that is, the extent to which ‘interlocking systems of oppression’ shape environmental justice experiences in the context of natural resources extraction and energy production, both across and within stratified populations. We are looking for papers to explore: situated and contextual environmental knowledges; practices that display intersections among structures of oppression; and their differential impacts on communities (both physical and identity-based) in relation to energy development, agriculture, or extractive industries and consequential technological disasters. Manuscripts may focus on: 1) intersecting forms of environmental injustice in these contexts; 2) multiplicative experiences of environmental injustice in these contexts; OR 3) intersecting forms of structural natural recourse dependence that create or exacerbate environmental injustice. This session will highlight the hidden, interwoven inequities currently under-analyzed in studies of society and natural resources. -- Stacia S.
