Dear GEP Colleagues:

The editorial team of Environmental Politics would like to help editors and scholars in the global North to build sustained relationships and explore potential collaborations that center global South scholars, their perspectives, and their expertise. Importantly, we seek to foster mutually respectful engagements, without this list becoming a source of additional burden for global South scholars.

In order to do this, we would like to create a virtual network  for global South scholars and experts, including practitioners in the field of environmental politics, environmental policy, and environmental studies, broadly understood. In conceptualizing this endeavor, we build on similar recent initiatives, e.g., Climate Reframe that seeks to amplify BAME [Black, Asian and minority ethnic] voices in UK environmental movement (
https://climatereframe.co.uk/), and the U.S.-based Donors of Color Network that has created a similar space for BIPOC [Black, Indigenous, and People of Color] Climate and Energy Justice PhDs (https://climate.donorsofcolor.org/bipoc-climate-and-energy-justice-phds/).

We plan to host this global South EP Scholars’ resource hub on EP webpage https://environmentalpoliticsjournal.net/, which the editorial board runs autonomously. However, we also welcome opportunities for collaborating on this with other journals or professional associations. If such collaborations materialize, we will be open to hosting this resource on another public platform.

We would be grateful for your help in creating this community resource. Please use the following Google form to nominate colleagues, including graduate students and early career researchers, especially those based in global South institutions. We encourage self-nominations. https://forms.gle/dDnrnHhyMz31sbuq8


Best wishes,
Prakash (On behalf of the EP editorial board).

Dear GEP:

 

I wanted to put in a friendly reminder about this resource, with an important clarification. This resource is open to Global South scholars of environmental politics and policy, irrespective of where they are located. We encourage self-nominations. https://forms.gle/dDnrnHhyMz31sbuq8  

 

If you are in Glasgow, we’d also appreciate your sharing this with colleagues from Global South there. We have received a couple of offers of co-hosting etc., so please feel free to reach out if a journal or an association you are part of, would like to partner with Environmental Politics on this.

 

My best wishes,
Prakash (On behalf of EP Editorial Team)

p.s. below you can find the longer email I sent out previously.
