The Peace and Justice Studies Association, in association with the Tufts Initiative on Climate Change and Climate Justice, announces its 2012 annual conference. This conference will host by Tufts University, in Boston, MA from October 4 to 6, 2012.
The topic of the conference will be “Anticipating Climate Disruption: Sustaining Justice, Greening Peace”. The Peace and Justice Studies Association (PJSA) Conference Committee in collabration with the Tufts Initiative on Climate Change and Climate Justice invites submissions for its 2012 Annual Meeting, to be held in the campus of Tufts University, in Medford, Massachusetts (Boston metro area), from Thursday October 4 to Saturday October 6, 2012 . Proposals are invited from an extensive range of professions, disciplines and perspectives on the several complex issues now unfolding amidst disruptive climate change, which promises to be among the most significant social justice concerns in the 21st Century.
Plenary sessions will deal with the militarization of responses to climate change in the name of security; health priorities and consequences; food vulnerabilities and injustice; peace economy and green energy; and water justice. A major objective of the conference will be to investigate and reveal how real solutions to climate change must necessarily challenge the injustices of political economy and militarism at every governing level. The main aim is to explore how organizing for climate protection and resilient communities contributes to global justice.
