Eleventh International Conference on Environmental, Cultural, Economic, and Social Sustainability

21–23 JANUARY 2015 | SCANDIC HOTEL COPENHAGEN COPENHAGEN, DENMARK | ONSUSTAINABILITY.COM Sustainability Conference 1

Dear Delegate,

The Sustainability knowledge community is an international conference, a cross-disciplinary scholarly journal, a book imprint, and an online knowledge community which, together, set out to describe, analyze and interpret the role of Sustainability. These media are intended to provide spaces for careful, scholarly reflection and open dialogue. The bases of this endeavour are cross- disciplinary. The community is brought together by a common concern for sustainability in an holistic perspective, where environmental, cultural, economic and, social concerns intersect.

In addition to organizing the Sustainability Conference, Common Ground publishes papers from the conference at http://onsustainability.com/publications/journal. We do encourage all conference participants to submit an article based on their conference presentation for peer review and possible publication in the journal. We also publish books at http://onsustainability.com/publications/books, in both print and electronic formats. We would like to invite conference participants to develop publishing proposals for original works or for edited collections of papers drawn from the journal which address an identified theme. Finally, please join our online conversation by subscribing to our monthly email newsletter, and subscribe to our Facebook, RSS, or Twitter feeds at http://onsustainability.com.

Common Ground also organizes conferences and publishes journals in other areas of critical intellectual human concern, including diversity, museums, technology, humanities and the arts, to name several (see http://commongroundpublishing.com). Our aim is to create new forms of knowledge community, where people meet in person and also remain connected virtually, making the most of the potentials for access using digital media. We are also committed to creating a more accessible, open and reliable peer review process. Alongside opportunities for well-known academics, we are creating new publication openings for academics from developing countries, for emerging scholars and for researchers from institutions that have historically focused on teaching.

We are also proud to announce the launch of Scholar, created in an association between Common Ground and the University of Illinois. If the social glue that holds together Facebook is 'friends' and the stickiness of Twitter is having 'followers', then the common bond created in Scholar is 'peers' working together in knowledge producing communities. We call this a ‘social knowledge’ space. Not only can you join the Sustainability community in Scholar , you can also create your own knowledge communities and use Scholar as a learning space, with a strong focus on peer-to-peer dialogue and structured feedback. For more information, visit www.cgscholar.com

Thank you to everyone who has prepared for this conference including our co-organizers and supporters, The City of Copenhagen and The Scandic Hotel Copenhagen. A personal thank you and acknowledgement goes to Amareswar Galla, Anna Ørsted Pedersenand, and everyone at The Scandic Hotel Copenhagen who helped organize this year’s conference. I’d also like to thank my Common Ground colleagues who have put such a significant amount of work into this conference: Lily Miller-Criner, Izabel Szary, and Jessica Wienhold-Brokish. We hope you will be able to join us at next year’s conference, co-hosted by the Institute for Sustainable Solutions, 21-23 January 2016, at Portland State University, USA.

We wish you all the best for this conference, and hope it will provide you every opportunity for dialogue with colleagues from around the corner and around the world.

Yours Sincerely,

Dr. Phillip Kalantzis-Cope Director, Common Ground Publishing

2 Sustainability Conference

Dear Delegate,

Welcome to the Eleventh International Conference of the Sustainability Knowledge Community. This is the crunch year for finalizing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) informing the UN post 2015 Development Agenda. Common Ground Publishing has been at the forefront of advocating a four pillar approach that is inclusive and holistic bringing together the social, economic, cultural, and environmental dimensions of sustainability. The leadership is from the members of the Sustainability Knowledge Community.

During the last decade, our Knowledge Community has collected substantial evidence illustrating the widespread consensus that sustainable development pays dividends for posterity. However, the faultlines in developmental processes call for us to rethink methods and approaches with honesty, transparency, and integrity. Deep research needs to inform the nexus between the four pillars of sustainability. New models and modalities of participation need to be scoped and developed. Integrated planning contributes effectively to policies, strategies and programs targeting inclusive social and economic development, environmental sustainability, harmony, peace, and security.

It is promising to see that this progress in the discourse of sustainability underpins the UN Secretary General’s Draft Synthesis Report - The Road to Dignity by 2030 (4 December 2014). But the document does not adequately embrace the full potential of culture, despite the many UN debates and resolutions, evidence collected by universities and experts and the advocacy of a global constituency representing millions that strive to fulfil culture’s role as driver and enabler of development. Negotiations for the final draft of the agenda remain in the hands of UN Member States, during the intergovernmental process that will take place from January to June 2015. Nevertheless, it is our duty to present constructive arguments and debate the SDGs and the agenda.

You will recall the mandate given to the UN General Assembly by the member states at the Rio+20 Conference, where they declared that the "SDGs should be action-oriented, concise and easy to communicate, limited in number.” These are:

Goal 1. End poverty in all its forms everywhere.

Goal 2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.

Goal 3. Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.

Goal 4. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.

Goal 5. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.

Goal 6. Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.

Goal 7. Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.

Goal 8. Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all.

Goal 9. Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and foster innovation.

Goal 10. Reduce inequality within and among countries.

Goal 11. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.

Goal 12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.

Goal 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.*

Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development Sustainability Conference 3

Goal 15. Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss.

Goal 16. Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels.

Goal 17. Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.

* Acknowledging that the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is the primary international, intergovernmental forum for negotiating the global response to climate change

Although the introduction in the Secretary General’s Draft Report affirms that people are at the centre of sustainable development and acknowledges the cultural diversity of the world and recognizes that all cultures and civilizations can contribute to sustainable development, it omits to mention culture as the fourth dimension or pillar of sustainable development. (a narrative widely embraced by the global constituency, a consensual language approved by the UN General Assembly in Resolution A/RES/68/223 of December 2013). We believe that for the world to be ‘just, equitable and inclusive’, we also need to protect and promote humankind’s diversity of cultural expressions. Research shows that there is no other way – economic, scientific, technological, or even political – to achieve peaceful and inclusive societies.

Global leaders have agreed that poverty has various manifestations. Poverty is not just a lack of material conditions, resources, and income. It is also of lack of capabilities and opportunities. It is the recognition of the dignity of disadvantaged groups and their contribution to the life of the community and of their creative capacity and their right to express themselves and envisage a better future. The new agenda must be based on a commitment to further promote resilient, legitimate and inclusive national and local institutions through civil society engagement.

We urge you and your colleagues to participate and contribute to the platform provided by our Knowledge Community that will inform the post 2015 Development Agenda. We look forward to the critical discourse on SDGs and the agenda in Copenhagen in January 2015. Conference registration includes one-year membership to the On Sustainability knowledge community. Your participation throughout the year will be important as we move through 2015, the transitional year from MDGs to SDGs. The agenda and goals should also be received at the country level in a way that would ensure a transition of the MDGs to the broader and more transformative sustainable development agenda and effectively become an integral part of national and regional visions and plans.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the dedicated and energetic staff at Common Ground, especially Izabel Szary, and acknowledge once again the vision and leadership of Professor Dr. Bill Cope and Dr. Phillip Kalantzis-Cope. Above all the participants in the Conference and the members of the knowledge community are the leaders for change and contribution to a sustainable future. I wish you all the best in your deliberations.

Yours Sincerely,

Professor Dr. Amareswar Galla Editor, The Sustainability Collection Chairperson, On Sustainability Knowledge Community Common Ground Publishing

4 Sustainability Conference

ABOUT COMMON GROUND

Our Mission Common Ground Publishing aims to enable all people to participate in creating collaborative knowledge and to share that knowledge with the greater world. Through our academic conferences, peer-reviewed journals and books, and innovative software, we build transformative knowledge communities and provide platforms for meaningful interactions across diverse media.

Our Message Heritage knowledge systems are characterized by vertical separations—of discipline, professional association, institution, and country. Common Ground identifies some of the pivotal ideas and challenges of our time and builds knowledge communities that cut horizontally across legacy knowledge structures. Sustainability, diversity, learning, the future of the humanities, the nature of interdisciplinarity, the place of the arts in society, technology’s connections with knowledge, the changing role of the university—these are deeply important questions of our time which require interdisciplinary thinking, global conversations, and cross-institutional intellectual collaborations. Common Ground is a meeting place for these conversations, shared spaces in which differences can meet and safely connect—differences of perspective, experience, knowledge base, methodology, geographical or cultural origins, and institutional affiliation. We strive to create the places of intellectual interaction and imagination that our future deserves.

Our Media Common Ground creates and supports knowledge communities through a number of mechanisms and media. Annual conferences are held around the world to connect the global (the international delegates) with the local (academics, practitioners, and community leaders from the host community). Conference sessions include as many ways of speaking as possible to encourage each and every participant to engage, interact, and contribute. The journals and book series offer fully- refereed academic outlets for formalized knowledge, developed through innovative approaches to the processes of submission, peer review, and production. The knowledge community also maintains an online presence—through presentations on our YouTube channel, monthly email newsletters, as well as Facebook and Twitter feeds. And Common Ground’s own software, Scholar, offers a path-breaking platform for online discussions and networking, as well as for creating, reviewing, and disseminating text and multi-media works.

Sustainability Conference 7

2015 Special Focus: Sustainability Dividends – Developmental Fault Lines

There is widespread consensus that sustainable development pays dividends for posterity. However, the fault lines in developmental processes call for us to rethink methods and approaches with honesty, transparency, and integrity. Deep research needs to inform the nexus between the four pillars of social, economic, cultural, and environmental sustainability. New models and modalities of participation need to be scoped and developed.

Universities and governments all over the world are moving into the management models for research with a focus on impacts. Our Sustainability knowledge community has a seminal foundation of taking holistic and accountable approaches for research and development since the Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002. It is the single largest platform for the discourse of sustainability that is holistic through the four pillar approach.

Scope and Concerns Our times call for interdisciplinary and holistic approaches to the relation of humans with the environment. As the challenges to our human and planetary existence become less capable of being addressed by purely personal, corporate, local, or short term solutions, so too, narrowness of thinking will no longer suffice. Of course, we should continue to pursue careful, finely grained, locally nuanced, and deeply grounded knowledge and social practices of sustainability. Such perspectives are, if anything, more critical than ever. But increasingly these need also to be situated in the context of longer, broader, and deeper views.

Four Fundamentals – Constitute a Fourfold ‘Bottom Line’ for Sustainability

Environment Nature is a dynamic thing in and of itself, and sometimes convulsively so. Humans are its beneficiaries and at times its victims. They are also increasingly agents, interacting in and with natural processes. Over several millennia, the human species has become one of the forces of nature, a critical part of its destiny, and ever more so today and tomorrow. Perhaps even, the human species may be a catalyst in another convulsion in the course of natural history. As nature more and more becomes an object of human artifice, its prospects move to the forefront of human consciousness. ‘What have we done with nature?’ we may well ask ourselves. What have been the forms and effects of our interventions? What are the implications of our newfound species-role as a force of nature, and what the responsibilities that accompany this role? How can we create a viable home for ourselves alongside the other lifeforms of the planet?

Culture This is the stuff of our human natures, our subjectivities, our shared meanings and our memories. Culture is the glue of similarity (‘identity’, literally) that grounds our sociability. It is also a matter of difference or cultures in the plural, the multilayered combinations of which forms persons in the plural: ways of seeing, ways of thinking, ways of meaning, ways of relating to each other, ways of connecting with nature. The challenge of culture is as much to forge a productive diversity for the human species (ethnos, gender, ecosystemics) as it is to nurture the sources of cohesion and commonality.

Economy Here we consider the dynamics of our material life, where in our social relations and using our tools we mix our energies with the natural world to meet our human needs. The challenge is to create economic systems which are environmentally viable, not destroying or damaging our life sources as natural beings. Such systems also need to be culturally viable, not harming our identities and ultimately what is humane in our natures. And they need to be socially viable, not creating destructive tensions and unsustainable injustices around axes of inequality of access to material and social resources.

Society To these perspectives we need to add our systems of regulation, governance, and resource distribution. What allows for all our participation as autonomous yet social beings? What makes for good citizenship? How do we create, manage, and propagate knowledge? How do we ensure justice? How do we integrate the four fundamentals of environment, culture, economy, and society so we can address our human futures and live to the full our human potentials?

This knowledge community attempts to locate what is experienced here and now in the context of longer, broader, and deeper views of the four fundamentals of sustainability.

Longer Views On a length dimension, we may wish to question the now-ness of our interests and actions: organizations which measure performance in solely in terms financial years; consumers who measure wellbeing in terms of instant gratification; and communities which compromise future generations by satisfying their wants in the present. Of course, we need to live in the here and now, but that living is limited if it is purely for the here and the now and so prejudices environment, culture, economy, or society in the longer view.

8 Sustainability Conference

Broader Views On a breadth dimension, we may need to question the here-ness of our interests and actions: acting locally without thinking globally; living personally without knowing politically; living in our cultures but sensitive to the diversity of others; operating to narrow economic or social goals without taking into account their ecosystemic sources and effects.

Deeper Views On a depth dimension, we may question the this-ness of our interests: what we feel in our everyday lifeworlds in relation to deep and less immediately tangible social, economic and ecological structures; our individual and corporate motivations in relation to human and ecological values; monetary value in relation to human value; the hidden hand of personal self-interest as opposed to the conscious hand of good governance, responsible citizenship and the values of caring for nature and each other.

This knowledge community provides a forum for discussion of the connections between environment, culture, economy and society. The perspectives presented range from big picture analyses which address global and universal concerns, to detailed case studies which speak of localized applications of the principles and practices of sustainability. Conference presentations and publications traverse a broad terrain, sometimes technically and other times socially oriented, sometimes theoretical and other times practical in their perspective, and sometimes reflecting dispassionate analysis whilst at other times suggesting interested strategies for action.

THE SUSTAINABILITY COLLECTION AND BOOK SERIES

About Our Publishing Approach For three decades, Common Ground Publishing has been committed to creating meeting places for people and ideas. With 24 knowledge communities, Common Ground’s vision is to provide platforms that bring together individuals of varied geographical, institutional, and cultural origins in spaces where renowned academic minds and public thought leaders can connect across fields of study. Each knowledge community organizes an annual academic conference and is associated with a peer-reviewed journal (or journal collection), a book imprint, and a social media space centered around Common Ground’s pathbreaking ‘social knowledge’ space, Scholar.

Through its publishing practices, Common Ground aims to foster the highest standards in intellectual excellence. We are highly critical of the serious deficiencies in today’s academic journal system, including the legacy structures and exclusive networks that restrict the visibility of emerging scholars and researchers in developing countries, as well as the unsustainable costs and inefficiencies associated with traditional commercial publishing.

In order to combat these shortcomings, Common Ground has developed an innovative publishing model. Each of Common Ground’s knowledge communities organizes an annual academic conference. The registration fee that conference participants pay in order to attend or present at these conferences enables them to submit an article to the associated journal at no additional cost. Scholars who cannot attend the conference in-person may still participate virtually and submit to the journal by obtaining a community membership, which also allows them to upload a video presentation to the community’s YouTube channel. By using a portion of the conference registration and membership fees to underwrite the costs associated with producing and marketing the journals, Common Ground is able to keep subscription prices low, thus guaranteeing greater access to our content. All conference participants and community members are also granted a one-year complimentary electronic subscription to the journal associated with their knowledge community. This subscription provides access to both the current and past volumes of the journal. Moreover, each article that we publish is available for a $5 download fee to non- subscribers, and authors have the choice of publishing their paper open access to reach the widest possible audience and ensure the broadest access possible.

Common Ground’s rigorous peer review process also seeks to address some of the biases inherent in traditional academic publishing models. Our pool of reviewers draws on authors who have recently submitted to the journal, as well as volunteer reviewers whose CVs and academic experience have been evaluated by Common Ground’s editorial team. Reviewers are assigned to articles based on their academic interests and expertise. By enlisting volunteers and other prospective authors as peer reviewers, Common Ground avoids the drawbacks of relying on a single editor’s professional network, which can often create a small group of gatekeepers who get to decide who and what gets published. Instead, Common Ground harnesses the enthusiasm of its conference delegates and prospective journal authors to assess submissions using a criterion-referenced evaluation system that is at once more democratic and more intellectually rigorous than other models. Common Ground also recognizes the important work of peer reviewers by acknowledging them as Associate Editors of the volumes to which they contribute.

For over ten years, Common Ground has been building web-based publishing and social knowledge software where people can work closely to collaborate, create knowledge, and learn. The third and most recent iteration of this project is the innovative social knowledge environment, Scholar. Through the creation of this software, Common Ground has sought to tackle what it sees as changing technological, economic, distributional, geographic, interdisciplinary and social relations to knowledge. For more information about this change and what it means for academic publishing, refer to The Future of the Academic Journal, edited by Bill Cope and Angus Phillips (Elsevier 2009).

We hope that you will join us in creating dialogues between different perspectives, experiences, knowledge bases, and methodologies through interactions at the conference, conversations online, and as fully realized, peer-reviewed journal articles and books.

Hybrid Open Access The Sustainability Collection is Hybrid Open Access. Hybrid Open Access is an option increasingly offered by both university presses and well-known commercial publishers.

Hybrid Open Access means that some articles are available only to subscribers, while others are made available at no charge to anyone searching the web. Authors pay an additional fee for the open access option. They may do this because open access is a requirement of their research funding agency. Or they may do it so that non-subscribers can access their article for free.

Common Ground’s open access charge is $250 per article, a very reasonable price compared to our hybrid open access competitors and purely open access journals that are resourced with an author publication fee. Electronic papers are normally only available through individual or institutional subscriptions or for purchase at $5 per article. However, if you choose to make your article Open Access, this means that anyone on the web may download it for free.

There are still considerable benefits for paying subscribers, because they can access all articles in the journal, from both current and past volumes, without any restrictions. But making your paper available at no charge increases its visibility, accessibility, potential readership, and citation counts. Open access articles also generate higher citation counts.

For more information or to make your article Open Access, please contact us at [email protected].

Institutional Open Access Common Ground is proud to announce an exciting new model of scholarly publishing called Institutional Open Access.

Institutional Open Access allows faculty and graduate students to submit articles to Common Ground journals for unrestricted open access publication. These articles will be freely and publicly available to the whole world through our hybrid open access infrastructure. With Institutional Open Access, instead of the author paying a per-article open access fee, institutions pay a set annual fee that entitles their students and faculty to publish a given number of open access articles each year.

The rights to the articles remain with the subscribing institution. Both the author and the institution can also share the final typeset version of the article in any place they wish, including institutional repositories, personal websites, and privately or publicly accessible course materials. We support the highest Sherpa/Romeo access level—Green.

For more information on Institutional Open access or to put us in touch with your department head or funding body, please contact us at [email protected].

Ecopragmatics

Edward T. Wimberley and Scott Pellegrino

In an era when environmental policy discussions have become increasingly rancorous and balkanized Ecopragmatics provides a framework for addressing seemingly intransigent environmental issues by relying upon a method of pragmatic analysis and inquiry grounded in the ideas of William James and John Dewey. This approach eschews ideological posturing in favor of a consequentialist approach wherein reasonable and shared solutions to environmental problems are pursued on the basis of their perceived value to the community and in regard to natural environments and ecosystems.

Earth Fables

Nancy E. Wright

Earth Fables is a collection of fables, encompassing a combination of poetry and prose, aimed at introducing new perspectives into the relationship between humans and other living creatures and inanimate objects in nature. The fables vary in their specific intended audiences, with some geared more toward children and others more conducive to adult readers; however, the subject matter in each lends itself to dialogue among families, friends, and communities of all ages. The goal in reading and discussing all the fables is a more complex and comprehensive understanding of how we view life around us and how we can live more sustainably.

Uncovering New Ground for American Nature Writing

Li-Ru Lu

Situating the work of John Bartram, Peter Kalm, John Davidson Godman, and Thomas Wilson Flagg at an exciting intersection between natural history and aesthetics, this study argues for the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century origins of the North American tradition of environmental thought. The work of these authors contains profound attentiveness to the wonder and beauty of nonhuman nature at a culturally significant period in the nation’s history.

Voices of Hunger: Food Insecurity in the United States

Courtney I.P. Thomas (ed.)

This edited collection looks at the problem of food insecurity in the United States from a variety of perspectives and examines efforts underway to put food on the tables of America's families. From national programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to community endeavors like Micah’s Backpack, these chapters analyze food security initiatives, their challenges, and their successes. It also introduces us to the hungry among us, allowing us to better understand the problem of food insecurity from the perspective of those who face it on an ongoing basis. These chapters remind us that food is not just essential for individual human life. It is also the lifeblood of our communities.

20 Sustainability Conference

THE SUSTAINABILITY CONFERENCE

Conference Principles and Features The structure of the conference is based on four core principles that pervade all aspects of the knowledge community:

International This conference travels around the world to provide opportunities for delegates to see and experience different countries and locations. But more importantly, the Sustainability Conference offers a tangible and meaningful opportunity to engage with scholars from a diversity of cultures and perspectives. This year, delegates from over 55 countries are in attendance, offering a unique and unparalleled opportunity to engage directly with colleagues from all corners of the globe.

Interdisciplinary Unlike association conferences attended by delegates with similar backgrounds and specialties, this conference brings together researchers, practitioners, and scholars from a wide range of disciplines who have a shared interest in the themes and concerns of this community. As a result, topics are broached from a variety of perspectives, interdisciplinary methods are applauded, and mutual respect and collaboration are encouraged.

Inclusive Anyone whose scholarly work is sound and relevant is welcome to participate in this community and conference, regardless of discipline, culture, institution, or career path. Whether an emeritus professor, graduate student, researcher, teacher, policymaker, practitioner, or administrator, your work and your voice can contribute to the collective body of knowledge that is created and shared by this community.

Interactive To take full advantage of the rich diversity of cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives represented at the conference, there must be ample opportunities to speak, listen, engage, and interact. A variety of session formats, from more to less structured, are offered throughout the conference to provide these opportunities.

Session Descriptions Plenary Sessions Plenary speakers, chosen from among the world’s leading thinkers, offer formal presentations on topics of broad interest to the community and conference delegation. One or more speakers are scheduled into a plenary session, most often the first session of the day. As a general rule, there are no questions or discussion during these sessions. Instead, plenary speakers answer questions and participate in informal, extended discussions during their Garden Sessions.

Garden Sessions Garden Sessions are informal, unstructured sessions that allow delegates a chance to meet plenary speakers and talk with them at length about the issues arising from their presentation. When the venue and weather allow, we try to arrange for a circle of chairs to be placed outdoors.

Talking Circles Held on the first day of the conference, Talking Circles offer an early opportunity to meet other delegates with similar interests and concerns. Delegates self-select into groups based on broad thematic areas and then engage in extended discussion about the issues and concerns they feel are of utmost importance to that segment of the community. Questions like “Who are we?”, ”What is our common ground?”, “What are the current challenges facing society in this area?”, “What challenges do we face in constructing knowledge and effecting meaningful change in this area?” may guide the conversation. When possible, a second Talking Circle is held on the final day of the conference, for the original group to reconvene and discuss changes in their perspectives and understandings as a result of the conference experience. Reports from the Talking Circles provide a framework for the delegates’ final discussions during the Closing Session.

Sustainability Conference 21

Paper Presentations Paper presentations are grouped by general themes or topics into sessions comprised of three or four presentations followed by group discussion. Each presenter in the session makes a formal twenty-minute presentation of their work; Q&A and group discussion follow after all have presented. Session Chairs introduce the speakers, keep time on the presentations, and facilitate the discussion. Each presenter's formal, written paper will be available to participants if accepted to the journal.

Colloquium Colloquium sessions are organized by a group of colleagues who wish to present various dimensions of a project or perspectives on an issue. Four or five short formal presentations are followed by commentary and/or group discussion. A single article or multiple articles may be submitted to the journal based on the content of a colloquium session.

Workshop/Interactive Session Workshop sessions involve extensive interaction between presenters and participants around an idea or hands-on experience of a practice. These sessions may also take the form of a crafted panel, staged conversation, dialogue or debate–all involving substantial interaction with the audience. A single article (jointly authored, if appropriate) may be submitted to the journal based on a workshop session.

Poster Sessions Poster sessions present preliminary results of works in progress or projects that lend themselves to visual displays and representations. These sessions allow for engagement in informal discussions about the work with interested delegates throughout the session.

Virtual Presentations If unable to attend the conference in person, an author may choose to submit a virtual presentation. Opportunities and formats vary but may be a presentation through our YouTube channel or an online discussion with interested delegates at the conference. Abstracts of these presentations are included in the online “session descriptions,” and an article may be submitted to the journal for peer review and possible publication, according to the same standards and criteria as all other journal submissions. 22 Sustainability Conference

Special Events Kronborg Slot Tour / Hamlet's Castle Tour Tuesday, 20 January 2015, 8:00 - 16:00 (8:00am-4:00pm) Take a sightseeing tour to Kronborg Slot and the countryside north of Copenhagen. Kronborg Castle, known as Elsinore in English, stands at the seaward approach to the Øresund Sound. It’s one of northern Europe's best preserved Renaissance castles. Made famous all over the world by Shakespeare's Hamlet, it is also the most popular castle in Denmark, with about 200,000 visitors each year. We leave Copenhagen and travel up the Riviera road to Helsingør. As we travel along we have a beautiful view of the Øresund Strait with the Swedish coast beyond. The tour includes transport to the castle, English speaking guide, admission to Kronborg Slot, and water and snacks on the bus.

Reception Wednesday, 21 January 2015 - 18:30-19:30 (6:30pm-7:30pm) Join delegates and plenaries at the conference reception! The reception is sponsored by Copenhagen City Hall and will be held at the historic assembly hall and includes drinks and traditional style pancakes. The beautiful and historic City Hall was built between 1892-1905 and designed by architect Martin Nyrop. Both the City Hall and the shell shaped square are inspired by the city hall and square in Siena, Toscana, Italy, so the building itself is a combination of the older Danish architecture with Italian renaissance.

Cafe Petersborg Conference Dinner Thursday, 22 January 2015 - 19:00-21:00 (7:00pm-9:00pm) Join delegates and plenaries for dinner at Cafe Petersborg for a traditional Danish dinner. Cafe Petersborg is one of the oldest restaurants in Copenhagen and dates back to the mid 1700's. The Russian consulate once had their office in the building, and many Russian sailors would come to eat in drink here while on shore leave. Dinner is started with a seasonal soup followed by traditional Danish meatballs with potatoes and red cabbage. Dessert follows with chocolate petit fours with coffee and tea. Beer and wine included. Inquire at the desk for availability.

TRANSITIONS TO SUSTAINABILITY BOOK LAUNCH

About Transitions to Sustainability: Theoretical Debates for a Changing Planet Wednesday, 21 January 2015 - 18:30-20:00 (6:30pm-8:00pm) Held during the conference reception, the 2015 Sustainability Conference is delighted to launch Transitions to Sustainability: Theoretical Debates for a Changing Planet by On Sustainability Board Members David Humphreys and Spencer S. Stober at the Conference Reception.

By the turn of the millennium the evidence that humans were changing the biosphere was manifested through a number of disturbing trends, including climate change, ozone depletion, global deforestation, coral bleaching, biodiversity loss, increased incidences of drought, and rising levels of atmospheric and marine pollution. These changes, some of which are irreversible, have given rise to the concept of the Anthropocene, a new geological epoch in which humans are the dominant force for planetary change. We are the first generation to realize the enormity of the changes that humans are wreaking on the global biosphere, and in all likelihood we are the last generation with the opportunity to do something about it. Yet traditional policies are failing to respond to the challenge of reversing global environmental decline at the very historical moment when the need for action is most urgent. The profound changes that we are living through and the need to find new and innovative responses to global environmental degradation present a pressing theoretical and conceptual challenge for both practitioners and scholars of sustainability. This book aims to respond to that challenge.

The contributions in this pioneering volume are divided into six thematic sections: culture, systems, business, art, rights, and citizenship. The chapters—empirically rich and critically guided—are written by leading scholars from around the world. The book makes a vital contribution to debates on sustainability and will prove essential reading for anyone who is concerned about global environmental change and our options for addressing it.

Humans will unfold if it has the opportunity. Depriving another person's light, killing its joy. This is a crime of the worst caliber. A No meted out punishment for doing it, no laws to judge by, but the one who goes out someone else's light, trying to discourage the inflamed. Mankind has not only need to have basic physical needs are met, it will be respected and valued, something our society underestimates on many levels.

GRADUATE SCHOLARS

Daria Akimenko Daria Akimenko is a second year PhD student at Art and Design Faculty of the University of Lapland, Finland. She is a native of Russia where she got her Master's Degree in Environmental Design. In her doctoral research, she focuses on design activism and urban design interventions as a means of stimulating change towards more sustainable cultural patterns.

Nir Barak Nir Barak is a PhD Candidate at the department of political science at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. In his doctoral research he is developing a normative-political framework termed 'urban ecologism' which is an attempt to urbanize environmental theory and philosophy and to rethink its implications for urban political institutions and human rights. This research regards the following theoretical gap: ecological thinkers address the essential relationship between man and ‘wild’ nature, and call for radical changes in our political and social lives; however, today most people live in cities without a direct affinity to ‘wild’ nature. The research is an attempt to abridge this gap and to present an environmental political theory that brings together human rights and environmental concerns in a relevant-urban language while maintaining a non-instrumental approach to nature. Additional research interests include political philosophy, critical theory, and philosophy of space.

A Digital Learning Platform Use Scholar to Support Your Teaching

Scholar is a social knowledge platform that transforms the patterns of interaction in learning by putting students first, positioning them as knowledge producers instead of passive knowledge consumers. Scholar provides scaffolding to encourage making and sharing knowledge drawing from multiple sources rather than memorizing knowledge that has been presented to them.

Scholar also answers one of the most fundamental questions students and instructors have of their performance, "How am I doing?" Typical modes of assessment often answer this question either too late to matter or in a way that is not clear or comprehensive enough to meaningfully contribute to better performance.

A collaborative research and development project between Common Ground and the College of Education at the University of Illinois, Scholar contains a knowledge community space, a multimedia web writing space, a formative assessment environment that facilitates peer review, and a dashboard with aggregated machine and human formative and summative writing assessment data.

The following Scholar features are only available to Common Ground Knowledge Community members as part of their membership. Please email us at [email protected] if you would like the complimentary educator account that comes with participation in a Common Ground conference.

• Create projects for groups of students, involving draft, peer review, revision and publication. • Publish student works to each student’s personal portfolio space, accessible through the web for class discussion. • Create and distribute surveys. • Evaluate student work using a variety of measures in the assessment dashboard.

Scholar is a generation beyond learning management systems. It is what we term a Digital Learning Platform—it transforms learning by engaging students in powerfully horizontal ‘social knowledge’ relationships.
