Good afternoon,
We (the editors of Global Environmental Politics) hope that everyone is staying safe and healthy in this crisis. For those interested, we are putting out a call for a special section/issue on disasters and crises as a way for the GEP community to continue to contribute to important discourses about issues of paramount importance. Details below. Be well. Best, Steven Bernstein, Matt Hoffmann, Erika Weinthal *Global Environmental Politics* Call for Papers “The politics of crises and disasters” Corona Virus. Fires in the Amazon and Australia. Floods in Indonesia. Locusts in Sub-Saharan Africa. Disaster and crisis have always been part of the human condition, but it is increasingly obvious that cross-cutting and cross-fertilizing disasters and crises driven and fuelled by environmental change and globalization are part of the new “normal.” The editors of *Global Environmental Politics* invite paper proposals (for forums, research articles, and research notes) on the politics of crises and disasters for a special section (or special issue). Now, more than ever, we need to have a rigorous, evidence-based conversation on how humanity can navigate an era that may be dominated by crisis and disaster and the *GEP* community is well-placed to contribute to that discourse. Please send abstracts (up to 200 words) for consideration to [email protected] by April 15 (if possible--we are certainly flexible on this given all that is going on) Reviews of selected papers will be expedited with the goal of having the special section/issue published in Issue 21-1 (January 2021). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gep-ed" group.
