Call for Nominations ( Deadline 1st August 2022): Clay Morgan Award for Best Book in Environmental Political Theory The Environmental Political Theory Section of the Western Political Science Association (WPSA) invites nominations for the Fifth Annual Clay Morgan Award for the Best Book in Environmental Political Theory. The purpose of this award is to recognize outstanding scholarship, published in a book-length monograph, which utilizes the resources, literatures, and approaches of the field of political theory to address intersections between contemporary or historical environmental challenges on the one hand and the philosophical and ideological concepts, principles, and debates animating political life on the other. While the focus of the award is on political theory, we welcome books that make a contribution to the field from related disciplines - including, but not limited to, anthropology, environmental humanities, ethnic studies, geography, indigenous studies, philosophy, political economy, science and technology studies, or sociology. Nominations must have been originally published within the last two calendar years (2021-2022). A book may be re-nominated in its second year of eligibility. Books may be co-authored, but edited collections are not eligible. Questions may be directed to the committee chair, Christian Hunold, [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>. The committee anticipates announcing the award winner in September 2022. The book will be honored with a roundtable discussion at the next WPSA annual meeting, in San Francisco in April 2023. Nominations will be accepted from authors, colleagues, and/or publishers. To be considered, arrangements should be made for the publisher to mail copies of the nominated book to the five committee members, below, to arrive by 1st August 2022. Publishers should contact the committee chair, Christian Hunold, at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> for mailing information.
