3. Fully Funded PhD Studentship on topic of “Meat Consumption and the Idea of Animals as Resources”


Grantham Centre for Sustainable Futures
University of Sheffield
School of English, UK


Application deadline: February 28, 2015


This studentship will trace the historical emergence of our current ideas of animal resources by studying the interactions of humans and meat animals in literature from the nineteenth century to the present. There will be three case studies, focusing on both production and consumption: small-scale farming; large-scale farming and trawler fishing. The student will collate a suitable corpus of texts and explore three key research questions:


1. What mix of attitudes is involved in thinking of an animal as a resource?
2. How do such attitudes vary in different practices of food production?
3. What other roles can animals play in addition to their designation as resources?


This project enhances the interdisciplinary programme of research at the Grantham Centre by integrating approaches from the humanities (critical literary analysis from English Studies and historical and zooarchaeological study) with those of the social sciences (philosophical analysis and normative recommendations from Political Philosophy). This integration also allows for another key project outcome: a discussion of findings specifically addressed to the public policy environment, where the humanities voice is rarely heard. The post would suit a student with an interest in cultural approaches to animals and sustainability and a background in literary studies.

Global Environmental Politics: From Person to Planet
Edited by Simon Nicholson and Paul Wapner
Paradigm Publishers, 2015
https://paradigm.presswarehouse.com/books/BookDetail.aspx?productID=393777


Today’s students want to understand not only the causes and character of global environmental problems like climate change, species extinction, and freshwater scarcity, but also what to do about them. This book offers the most comprehensive, fair-minded, accessible, and forward-looking text for introducing students to the challenge of global environmental protection. Drawing on a diverse range of voices, the book sequentially explains our current predicament, examines what is being done to respond at a variety of levels from the international to the local, and outlines different, relevant strategic choices for genuine political engagement. Developed by two top researchers and master teachers of global environmental politics, the book brings together sharply written introductory essays with tightly edited selections from a broad cross section of thinkers to provide a text that will excite and educate students of global environmental affairs. In addition, the book introduces a series of exercises designed specifically to help students draw connections between their own lives and the broader challenge of global sustainability. Global Environmental Politics: From Person to Planet finally answers the question of how to teach students about environmental harm with a sober sense of ecological reality, a firm grasp on politics, and an optimistic look toward the future.

Reclaiming the Wild Soul: How Earth’s Landscapes Restore Us to Wholeness
By Mary Reynolds Thompson
White Cloud Press, 2014
http://maryreynoldsthompson.com/reclaiming-the-wild-soul-book/


Beyond the chaos and stresses of our modern age, there lies a forgotten yet primal terrain rich in wisdom, healing, and wholeness. In Reclaiming the Wild Soul, Mary Reynolds Thompson takes us on a journey into Earth’s five great landscapes as aspects of our deeper, wilder selves. There, where the inner and outer worlds meet, we discover within our souls:


• the silence and simplicity of deserts
• the mystery of forests
• the flow of oceans and rivers
• the inspiration of mountains
• the regenerative spirit of grasslands


Once awakened, these “soulscapes” reveal the beauty and magnificence of our own true nature––and a path of personal transformation aligned with the healing of the wild Earth. Reclaiming the Wild Soul is simultaneously self-help and a courageous call to action for our times.



5. Ecojesuit – Ecology and Jesuits in Communication


Jesuits and their partners throughout the world are invited to understand and share in the critical work of reconciliation and ecological concern (GC35 Decree 3). Ecology and Jesuits in Communication or Ecojesuit, initiated by the Jesuit European Social Centre (JESC) and the Jesuit Conference of Asia Pacific (JCAP), is an online communication currently in Spanish and English, open to all who share in this vision and action. Ecojesuit is an online newsletter that offers contemporary, original, and exclusively written commentaries, reflections and insights, analysis, and exchange of ideas and practices on various ecological and social concerns such as those that relate to water and watershed management, mineral development, food security, impact and adaptations to climate change, disaster risk resilience, renewable and alternative energy, Indigenous Peoples and cultural integrity, sustainable development, among others. While it has a global reach, Ecojesuit communicates communities and local concerns. While initially directed at Jesuit practitioners and organizations working on ecological concerns, Ecojesuit encourages participation and communication beyond the Jesuits and promotes a global collaboration and networking on ecology.

7. Online Interfaith Course on Climate Change


The Wilmette Institute will offer an 8-week online course on climate change, from March 1 - April 26, 2015.


The course explores the basic science of climate change and provides an understanding of how climate disruption impacts us today and will continue to affect us in the future. We will explore ethical questions related to climate change and address them in the context of the spiritual teachings of the world’s religions, especially those of the Baha’i Faith. Some readings will help us make enlightened decisions for our personal and community lives that are consistent with our spiritual and ethical values. Finally, we will learn to participate in public discourse by being empowered to present, from a Baha’i and interfaith perspective, spiritual responses to the climate crisis. For those interested in a more thorough study of climate change and its spiritual dimensions or who are interested in specific aspects of it, the course offers numerous optional resources.


The Wilmette Institute is an online Baha’i Learning Center. Its courses are open to members of all religions.

Summer Workshop 2015


Sunday, July 26 – Saturday, August 1


Lama Foundation
San Cristobal, NM, USA


Environmental dilemmas are among the most profound challenges facing humanity. This workshop focuses on how we can best teach college and university students at this historic moment of environmental intensification.

Part workshop and part retreat, this 6-day summer institute provides an opportunity to step back from our frenetic lives, develop pedagogical tools, and deepen our inner resources as teachers committed to education on a fragile and wild planet.


Faculty: Paul Wapner (professor, American University), Karen Litfin (professor, University of Washington), Jeff Warren (author and meditation instructor), Lisa Schnall (psychotherapist), Nicole Salimbene (visual artist)

13. Lent resource: Creation Covenant


Creation Covenant explores God’s covenant with all creation in light of present-day species extinctions and habitat loss. The free five week Lent program for individuals or groups connects Christ’s suffering 2000 years ago with his suffering today “in ten thousand places” (G. M. Hopkins). Designed by Terri MacKenzie, SHCJ, Creation Covenant is a timely response to what Pope Francis wrote in Joy of the Gospel: “God has joined us so closely to the world around us that we can feel … the extinction of a species as a painful disfigurement. Let us not leave in our wake a swath of destruction and death which will affect our own lives and those of future generations.”

14. New Documentary Series: Sacred Journeys with Bruce Feiler


Sacred Journeys with Bruce Feiler
(Lourdes, Shikoku, Jerusalem, Hajj, Kumbh Mela, Osun-Osogbo)
PBS, 2014
360 minutes on 2 Discs
http://www.shoppbs.org/product/index.jsp?productId=42447796#Details


Sacred journeys are as old as humanity, yet they’re more popular today than ever before. Tens of millions go on a pilgrimage each year. In this landmark series, New York Times best-selling author Bruce Feiler travels with American pilgrims on six historic pilgrimages. They set out from the ordinary and seek the extraordinary.


- In Lourdes, France, bathe in sacred waters with wounded soldiers from around the world in a moving search for healing and reconciliation.


- In southern Japan, trek with Buddhist pilgrims on an 800-mile, 88-temple journey as they seek personal salvation and renewal.


- In Jerusalem, follow the trail of pilgrims from the three Abrahamic traditions as they ground their faith in one of the holiest cities on Earth.


- In Mecca, go behind closed doors of the Hajj in a rare, intimate look at pilgrims making the trip of a lifetime.


- In India, plunge into the Ganges during the largest human gathering on earth, the Kumbh Mela, which takes place every 12 years.


- And in Nigeria, dance at water’s edge with African-Americans at a spectacular Yoruba festival where they reclaim their religious roots.


Unprecedented in scope, Sacred Journeys with Bruce Feiler will forever change how you view your own spiritual journey.
