ONE-L colleagues,

Deborah's email arrived 20 minutes before Jean Stead's email about the spiritual disaster in the Gulf of Mexico and surrounding communities. Could anyone NOT be thinking about that disaster while reading through the CfP for chapters on environmental leadership?? All 5 of the 'overarching themes' for the second volume are linked to it.

I have a feeling this disaster is going to have a profound impact on our field, but at this point I can't venture to predict what it will be.

Day 67 of this slow train wreck,

John

CALL FOR CHAPTERS

ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP: A REFERENCE HANDBOOK

Deborah Rigling Gallagher & Norman Christensen, Duke University, & R.N.L (Pete) Andrews, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. SAGE, 2011.

This 2-volume, 100 chapter reference book is one of the first in the SAGE Reference Series on Leadership.  Chapters are anticipated to be 7000 words. We envision the first 50-chapter volume of the environmental leadership handbook to include such topics as: Environmental Thought leadership.  Chapters on thought leadership in topical areas such as environmental ethics, conservation, eco-feminism, collective action and the commons and what we have termed as contrarians. Political Leadership. Chapters which focus on the environmental challenge context for the expression of political leadership.  Governmental Leadership. Chapters on government initiatives to provide leadership in environmental management. Private Sector Leadership. Chapters on private sector leadership in environmental management as individuals, through organizations or through specific initiatives. Nonprofit Leadership. Chapters on nonprofit sector leadership in in topical areas such as conservation, advocacy, philanthropy and economic development.  Signaling Events. Chapters which describe environmental signaling events, their impact on the exercise of environmental leadership through individual, political and organizational actions. Grassroots Activism. Chapters profiling individual environmental activists and considering how environmental leadership is exercised through activism. Environmental Leadership in Journalism, Literature and the Arts. Chapters describing the exercise of environmental leadership through journalism, literature or the arts. Environmental Leadership in Education. Chapters considering the exercise of environmental leadership through education.

In the second volume we seek 50 chapters that confront the particular intractable characteristics of environmental problem solving. We envision individual chapters that focus on how environmental leadership actions or initiatives may be applied to address specific problems in context, offering both analysis and recommendations. Overarching themes to be considered in this volume including Taking Action in the Face of Uncertainty (for example, mitigating climate change impacts, adapting to climate change, protecting coastal ecosystems, protecting wetlands and estuaries, preserving forest resources, protecting critical aquifers, preventing the spread of invasive species, identifying and conserving vital global habitats), Promoting International Cooperation in the Face of Conflicting Agendas (for example,  designing and implementing climate change policy, reconciling species protection and free trade, allocating scarce resources, designing sustainable fisheries, addressing global overpopulation, preventing trade in endangered species, conserving global biodiversity, mitigating ocean debris and pollution), Addressing Conflicts between Economic Progress and Environmental Protection (for example, preserving open space, redesigning cities, promoting ecotourism, redeveloping brownfields, designing transit oriented development, confronting impacts of factory farming, preventing non-point source agricultural pollution, confronting agricultural water use, addressing the impacts of agrochemicals, designing sustainable food systems, valuing ecosystem services), Addressing Complex Management Challenges ( for example,  energy efficiency, solar energy, wind energy, hydrogen economy, alternative vehicles, solid waste disposal, hazardous waste disposal, electronic waste disposal, life cycle analysis, waste to energy), and Addressing Disproportionate Impact on the Poor and the Weak (for example, preventing export of developed world waste to developing countries, minimizing co-location of poverty and polluting industries, protecting the rights of indigenous peoples, preventing environmental disease: malaria, preventing environmental disease, protecting children's health, providing universal access to potable water, protecting environmental refugees).

Please provide proposals for chapters to Deborah Rigling Gallagher, deb.gallagher@duke.edu, by July 2, 2010. Proposals should be no longer than 200 words and include brief biographies of authors, including current affiliation, related publications, and contact information. Proposals will form the basis of formal invitations for chapters. Completed chapters will be due to the editors by February 1, 2011.

john and paul have both suggested that deepwater horizon is going to have a profound impact on "our field" . . .

i'm curious what impact different people expect it to have . . .

it seems to me that what impact it will have depends very much on how it is interpreted . . .

I agree that this disaster is going to have a profound impact, and rightfully so. It seems that the chickens to some extent have come home to roost.

I have read that the Niger delta where Shell are very active has endured the equivalent of the Exxon Valdez spill every year for 50 years by some estimates: see

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/17/world/africa/17nigeria.html

In Ecuador, Chevron faces a $27 billion lawsuit brought on by the indigenous people in the Amazon region of Ecuador for water pollution as a number of organizations are trying to take Chevron to court to seek justice for the fact that for over three decades. Local organixations are arguing that Chevron chose profit over people in the Ecuadorian Amazon by making the calculated decision to save $3 per barrel and yet poison entire communities.

It is not just the soul of the region of Louisiana that is being poisoned but parts of the whole anima mundi

Christopher Helman, "After The Cleanup," Forbes (5/24/2010) discusses how the Deepwater Horizon explosion shows the need for a new generation of safer oil drilling technology.  He quotes Theodore Harper (Frost Investment Advisors in Houston) as saying "This is a gift to the environmentalists." Certainly it will drive engineering designs that will work better.  HOWEVER, Helman says that the rest of the world sees this as "just an American problem."  That "Hundreds of wells have been drilled at this depth and deeper, especially offshore Brazil, with no spills. The U.S. might hobble itself, but the rest of the world won't".
