DOPE 2024+

The University of Kentucky Political Ecology Working Group invites you to participate in the Thirteenth Annual Dimensions of Political Ecology Conference (DOPE), to be held from Thursday, February 22nd to Sunday, February 24th, 2024 in Lexington, Kentucky, USA.

Community of Practice Method/ologies Lab

Introducing the Community of Practice Method/ologies Lab! We’re a group of young scholars working in/with political ecology, seeking to build community across geographic space and beyond disciplines. How to ensure knowledge is co-created and scholarship non-extractive? How to think of methodology as an ongoing, collaborative process? How does methodology become more mercurial in its very nature, unfixed in space and time?
