Call for Papers and ResourcesThe Agricultural and Resource Economics Review (ARER) has put out a call for papers for a special issue titled “Social Justice in Agricultural and Environmental Economics." This special issue contributes to economic scholarship on issues of social justice related to agriculture, food, natural resources, rural communities, development, and the environment. Economics research has made significant progress in knowledge about individual and aggregate welfare, but more work needs to be done that examines the distributional and equity aspects of economic outcomes, particularly with respect to the conditions of historically excluded or marginalized populations. The submission deadline is Nov 1st. More details available at: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/agricultural-and-resource-economics-review/call-for-papers The USSEE is continuing to collect resources for the Online Teaching Resources section of our website. If you are teaching remotely this semester and are creating recorded lectures or materials relevant to ecological economics that you are willing to share, please email Erin at usseeboard@gmail.com. |

This talk discusses the findings from a recent study on remote islands in Eastern Indonesia, including a complex set of factors contributing to extensive plastic leakage.

September Colloquium ISEE/DeGrowthEconomy and Livelihoods after COVID-19A global online symposium of the International Degrowth Network and the International Society for Ecological Economics. September 1 to September 4th, 2020, University of Manchester. Join us for this symposium over four days. We’ll be considering the implications of the global COVID-19 pandemic for economy and livelihoods. The COVID-19 pandemic and responses to it have had deeply unequal impacts on lives, livelihoods, and well-being across race, gender, and class. At the same time, it has opened up the space for new possibilities for building alternative livelihoods and economies that can take us beyond a capitalist economy that requires ever-expanding growth. Will we go back to business as usual with all the ecological, social, and economic risks that will bring or take the path towards a new kind of economy that provides for human needs of all while restoring and protecting the natural world that we all depend on? |
