The Center for
Political Ecology sponsors research and facilitates
public access to political ecology by supporting the work of fellows,
associates, and CPE members who document and explore the inter-relationships
between economic activity, politics, culture, human rights, and the
environment. Research sponsored by the Center reflects our commitment
to developing theory and praxis to sustain scholarly advocacy: we document
histories, processes, and conditions in ways that contribute to broader
understanding of human environmental problems and problem-solving.
Publications produced by the Center
are typically the product of community-based research that is conducted
in collaborative and participatory ways. CPE produces pamphlets, journals,
newsletters, discussion papers, policy briefings, books, and videos;
and, we organize and facilitate public meetings, workshops, conferences,
and political ecology panels at national and international conferences.
The Center for Political Ecology established
the journal Capitalism, Nature, Socialism,
an international red-green journal of theory and politics. Key themes
include the dialectics of human and natural history; labor and land;
workplace struggles and community struggles; economics and ecology;
and the politics of ecology and ecology of politics. The journal is
published in cooperation with Taylor
and Francis Group.
The Center for Political Ecology is
a public supported non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization incorporated
in August, 1990. Research and publications are supported by foundation
grants and the generosity of our Members
and Sustainers.
