[Mary Witlacil]

***Apologies for cross-posting!***
Dear all,

The deadline to submit abstracts  for 
the American Political Science Association's (APSA) annual conference is 
Wednesday, January 18, 2023! The Environmental Politics and Theory Related 
Group  welcomes proposals on 
any topic in environmental politics and theory, and especially those related to 
this year's conference theme, "Rights and Responsibilities in an Age of Mis- 
and Disinformation." You can find our group's CFP below, as well as here 
. 

Even if you do not plan on submitting a paper proposal for the APSA conference 
this year, we encourage anyone with interests in environmental politics and 
theory to consider joining our related group. You can find easy instructions 
for how to submit an abstract to the APSA conference and how to join the EP 
Related Group here 
.
 We also encourage current EP members to renew their affiliation with our 
related group to help maintain our community of scholars! Just remember that an 
APSA membership is required in order to be a member of any APSA related group. 

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me 
(koutni...@beloit.edu ) or Mary Witlacil 
(witla...@colostate.edu ). 


We look forward to seeing you in Los Angeles!

Best,

Gregory Koutnik and Mary Witlacil

2023: Environmental Politics and Theory Group: CFP



We are pleased to announce the call for papers for the 2023 Annual Meeting of 
the American Political Science Association to be held in Los Angeles, 
California, August 31-September 3, 2023. The Environmental Politics and Theory 
Related Group welcomes proposals for individual papers and panels on a wide 
range of environmental issues from diverse theoretical perspectives. We 
especially look forward to proposals that speak to the intersection between 
environmental politics, political theory, and the 2023 APSA theme of 
mis-/disinformation. It is clear that mis- and disinformation are becoming 
pervasive elements of the contemporary political landscape. We invite you to 
reflect on how false or misleading information disrupts environmental politics, 
reinforces anti-environmental perspectives, and enables climate denial. 
Further, who is alienated or marginalized by the perpetuation of mis- and 
disinformation in environmental politics? When false information enables 
climate denial, in what ways do freedom of expression and the right to free 
speech inhibit climate justice and the right to a livable planet? Finally, how 
has anti-science rhetoric during the pandemic fueled a broader skepticism 
toward “experts,” and how does this affect environmental politics and efforts 
to address climate change in light of scientific evidence?

As always, we are thrilled to read proposals that discuss new or emerging 
trends in environmental political theory, as well as those that comment on the 
broader state and trajectory of environmental politics and theory. What 
prevailing assumptions, arguments, and frameworks are in need of rethinking in 
order for environmental scholarship and politics to move forward? In what ways 
might political, economic, and social systems need fundamental restructuring to 
address the environmental crises of our time? Moreover, might the academic 
disciplines that study environmental politics and theory need to be rethought 
and restructured as well to meet the challenges of environmental scholarship in 
a time of crisis? Finally, in what ways might scholars reconnect with the world 
of practice and political action, and how might practitioners of environmental 
politics reconnect with neglected constituencies, movements, and ways of 
thinking (including, but not limited to, indigenous and postcolonial ones)?

In keeping with APSA’s goal of increasing diversity, inclusion, and access 
throughout the profession, we also strongly encourage proposals from scholars 
who belong to historically underrepresented groups, especially those from 
minority racial and ethnic communities, low-income and working-class 
backgrounds, non-Anglophone countries, and the LGBTQ+ community.
