The
Environment and Development Research Circle
The Environment
and Development Advanced Research Circle (EDARC) provides
an interdisciplinary forum to discuss issues of the interface
of environmental change, environmental management, and economic
development. The latest phase of EDARC targets key areas of
uncertainty that exist in contemporary understandings of the
relationship between globalization and the environment. An
important area of recent interest concerns the social processes
that run through divergent spatial and social organizational
scales that link global trends to local realities.
During 2004-6,
EDARC activities will focus one particular global-local
linkage: the worldwide application of western ecological
sciences to situations with divergent ecologies and societies.
Activities focus on building constructive dialogues between
institutionally separated research areas in the social
and natural sciences on campus and beyond to look more
closely and critically at 1) the use of applied ecological
sciences in conservation and development planning in the
developing world, and 2) the significance of non-western
social and ecological knowledge for environmental planning |
