marxism2000 panel

WSNetwork:

I would like to put together a panel for the Marxism2000 conference, to be
held at UMass Amherst, September 21-24, 2000.

THIS POST SOLICITS PAPERS FOR A PANEL ON "MARXISM AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL 
CRISIS", OR IN OTHER WORDS A RED/GREEN PANEL.

[This is one of a series of conferences hosted by the journal Rethinking
Marxism.  Information is available at:  http://www.nd.edu/~remarx]

The paper I am working on is inspired by Moishe Postone's "Time, Labor and
Social Domination:  A reinterpretation of Marx's critical theory," which
is absolutely brilliant, and has clear implications for the question of
the environment.  I have not yet seen John Bellamy Foster's new book, but
that may be incorporated as well.

I intend to check with James O'Connor and crew at Capitalism, Nature,
Socialism to see what they're planning, so as not to needlessly duplicate
topics, or perhaps to join forces.  It would be nice if there were some
world-system specific papers, and perhaps the PEWS section could actually
sponsor the panel.  I'm freelancing at this point.

The deadline for submission of paper and panel proposals is June 1st, and
I would like to have the panel proposal in by early May if possible.

Please contact me with paper proposals (abstracts) if you would like to be
part of a Red/Green panel at the Marxism2000 conference.

Thanks.
