IMAGINING A DIFFERENT FUTURE: Overcoming Barriers to Climate Justice 8-9 Feb 2018 | HOBART, AUSTRALIA www.climatejustice.network<http://ace.cmail19.com/t/j-l-udkyldt-gndlhjtl-r/> I am writing to encourage you to submit paper proposals for a multidisciplinary Conference, Imagining a Different Future: Overcoming Barriers to Climate Justice, to be held 8-9 February 2018 in Hobart, Tasmania (see https://www.climatejustice.network<https://www.climatejustice.network/>). My colleague, Jan Linehan, and I are organising the Conference and a series of parallel arts and community engagement events. The Conference is being held by the University of Tasmania and related institutions, with the support of the Utrecht University Institute of Ethics. The conference aims to inject justice and ethics discourses into Australian and international climate policy making, explore common ground shared amongst different philosophical worldviews in relation to climate change, and to systematically analyse barriers to implementing climate justice. The conference will bring together different experts working on climate change with papers pitched at a level accessible to generalists. A longer term aim is to create a multidisciplinary climate justice network. We will publish the outcomes of the conference in a monograph or special issue of a journal. NEWSFLASH!: The Conference Organising Committee is pleased to let you know that we getting lots of interest and we have decided to extend the abstract deadline until 23:59 on Friday 11 August (Universal Time) This gives those who are busy with other projects an extra five days to finalise submissions. Full details of the Conference themes are on the website www.climatejustice.network<http://ace.cmail19.com/t/j-l-udkyldt-gndlhjtl-y/> and abstracts are invited on any aspect of the themes. The Conference is being held by the University of Tasmania, with support of the University of Utrecht Ethics Institute, the Institute for the Study of Social Change at the University of Tasmania, the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Cooperative Research Centre (ACE CRC) and the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Science (IMAS).
