Dear Silke,

....

Secondly, I'd like to make a small request. I'm editing a volume of essays
on non-anthropocentric approaches to climate ethics. I would very much
appreciate if you considered forwarding the CFP (below) to your colleagues
and/or relevant Listservs. Thank you in advance!

Call for Papers: Edited Anthology on Non-anthropocentric Climate Ethics

Deadline: October 15, 2017

The complexity of life in an age of rapid climate change demands the
development of moral frameworks that recognize and respect the dignity and
agency of both human and nonhuman actors. Despite decades of careful work
in non-anthropocentric approaches to environmental ethics, recent
anthologies on climate ethics have largely omitted non-anthropocentric
approaches. This anthology seeks to remedy this lacuna by presenting new
work on non-anthropocentric approaches to climate ethics. Possible topics
to be addressed include, but are not restricted to:

   -

   How will nonhumans be affected by climate change and how does this pose
   an ethical mandate for us to respond?
   -

   What do anthropocentric approaches to climate ethics omit?
   -

   What would an ecocentric or biocentric approach to climate ethics add
   that is missing in current discussions?
   -

   What would non-anthropocentric approaches to feminism (eco/cyber/xeno-)
   contribute?
   -

   How might the ethics of global climate change be shaped by scholarship
   on the non-human, considering such fields as multispecies studies, new
   materialism, posthumanism, and speculative realism?
   -

   What are the moral implications of the “Anthropocene” discourse for
   understanding and responding to the climate crisis?
   -

   What epistemological and ontological perspectives should inform
   non-anthropocentric approaches to climate ethics, considering scholarship
   on actor-network theory, thing theory, object-oriented ontology, vibrant
   materialism, process thought, or indigenous lifeways?
   -

   How would climate ethics reconceive subjectivity and agency if humans
   are no longer understood to be just discrete entities, but as assemblages
   of social, biological, or technological relations distributed across vast
   networks?

The anthology will, in the first instance, be submitted to Palgrave
Macmillan, which has expressed initial interest in the project.

Submission and deadlines:

   - Deadline for submission of abstract (up to 500 words) and curriculum
   vitae: 15 October 2017.
   - Expected date for preliminary verdict on submitted abstracts: 15
   November 2017
   - Expected date for final full draft of accepted papers: 15 July 2018

Email submissions to the editors: Brian G. Henning (Professor of Philosophy
and Environmental Studies, Gonzaga University) henning at gonzaga.edu Zack
Walsh (Doctoral candidate, Claremont School of Theology)
