Call for Papers: Environmental Education for Africa: Deadline Oct. 31, 2008

CALL FOR PAPER PROPOSALS

Background

AFRICA ENVIRONMENTAL WATCH (AEW, formerly Liberia Environmental Watch) is soliciting paper abstracts relating to the 2008 conference theme, "Environmental Education and Action for a Healthy Africa." We will select from submitted abstracts for presentation at the Annual Conference as part of a breakout session panel on “Environmental Volunteerism and Activism." The Environmental Volunteerism and Activism panel will introduce conference members to examples of environmental volunteerism and activism, allowing discussion and critique of current work, including works in progress and yet to be published works. Papers to be presented by this panel will be selected through a competitive selection process.


The panel is restricted to students. The abstracts should be based on the student’s work. Eligibility is open to all interested students.


Submission Guidelines:

Applicants must submit: (1) a two-paragraph abstract of their paper;(2) a sentence explaining its current stage (e.g., yet to be drafted, fully drafted but not yet accepted for publication, accepted for publication, published); and (3) contact information for the applicant. Those who have completed a draft of the paper are welcome to submit the draft, but it is not required. The submission deadline is October 31, 2008.


Please submit applications to africaenvironmentalwatch@yahoo.com no later than October 31, 2008. For more information about AEW and the conference, go to www.liberiaenvironmentalwatch.org.
