CALL FOR PAPERS
Members of the Faculty of Arts and Science (faculty, visitors, adjuncts,
emeriti, postdocs, grad students, undergrads) may be interested in
submitting manuscripts for consideration in a future expanded edition of
"Landscapes of the Heart" -- one that would cross the boundaries of
ecology, economics, culture, the social sciences, health, law, philosophy
and literature. Individuals already involved include E.O. Wilson, Noam
Chomsky, Maurice Strong, David Cash (Kennedy School of Government,
Harvard), Stephen Schneider (Stanford), Lee Gass (UBC; recent winner of 3M
Award as "Professor of the Year"), and Stephen Kellert (Forestry, Yale).
Background to the existing edition can be found by clicking on the URL
below (see bottom of this email). Guidelines for the new edition are under
development, and will be sent to interested persons later this winter.
Please forward this message to appropriate mailing lists and/or to
interested individuals.
Students are VERY welcome in this project, for I believe they have had
experiences (and thus have a perspective) quite different from that of
previous generations of scholars.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Michael Aleksiuk
