Vena, B.A., M.A. A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin December 2009 ABSTRACT BEYOND STEWARDSHIP: TOWARD AN AGAPEIC ENVIRONMENTAL ETHIC Christopher J. Vena, B.A., M.A. Marquette University, 2009 One of the unfortunate implications of industrialization and the rapid expansion of global commerce is the magnification of the impact that humans have on their environment. Exponential population growth, along with growing technological capabilities, has allowed human societies to alter their terrain in unprecedented and destructive ways. The cumulative effect has been significant to the point that the blame for widespread environmental degradation must be pinned squarely on human shoulders. Because of our dependence on these systems for survival, the threat to the environment is a threat to human life. The root of the ecological crisis is found in human attitudes and behaviors. In the late 1960’s it was suggested that Christianity was a key source of the problem because it promoted the idea of human “dominion” over creation.

Science House: 157-161 Gloucester Street, The Rocks NSW 2000 This course will investigate the dominant critical perspectives that have contributed to the development of Environmental Communication as a field of study. This course explores the premise that the way we communicate powerfully impacts our perceptions of the "natural” world, and that these perceptions shape the way we define our relationships to and within nature, as well as how we define and solve environmental problems. The goal of this course is to access various conceptual frameworks for addressing questions about the relationship between the environment, culture and communication. Students will explore topics such as consumerism, representations of the environment in popular culture and environmental activism. This is a praxis-based course, meaning that a major, hands-on communication project will be based on critical theory. The course will address the following questions: How are environmental problems discussed and mediated within the public realm? How do these rhetorical and visual discourses structure our relationship to environmental crises? How can students create a communication strategy that frames environmental problems in a specific way in order to align the problem with appropriate solutions?

Historical and geographic analyses emphasize the marginality of the western Pyrenees and the role of enforced social norms exacted by intense solidarities of kin and neighbors in agropastoral production. Both are satisfying and simple narratives, yet neither offers a realistic framework for understanding complex processes or the contingency and behavioral variability of human agents in transforming a landscape. The Long Anthropocene in the western Pyrenees was a spatially and temporally heterogeneous and asynchronous process, and the evidence frequently departs from conventional narratives about human landscape degradation in this agropastoral situation. A complementary place-based strategy that draws on geoarchaeological, biophysical, and socio-ecological factors is used to examine human causality and environmental resilience and demonstrate their relationship with the sustainability of mountain landscapes of the western Pyrenees over medium to long time intervals.
  • The Context of Eco-Theology

    The Context of Eco-Theology

    CHAPTER 29 The Context of Eco-theology Laurel Icearns The phrase "I'm a tree-hugging Jesus freak," a self-description uttered recently by a Pentecostal environmentalist, demonstrates the complexity of contemporary eco- theology and religious ecological activism. For the past two decades or more, the com- bination of these two identities seemed unthinkable, for Christians were still struggling to articulate a response, much less a response that would appeal to Pentecostals, usually viewed as un-ecological. This chapter examines many of the historical and more contemporary contexts that shape what is now a rich eco-theological conversation. Although the chapter tries to give a broad international sense of the movement, it draws heavily upon the US context where a diverse and multi-faceted conversation about eco-theology has been going on for over three decades. Furthermore, while there are now ecological voices within all the major religious traditions, this chapter will primarily focus on Christianity as the context of eco-theology. While there are many historical precedents that one could acknowledge leading into the contemporary environmental movement, such as Aldo Leopold's Sand Country Almanac (1949),most scholars agree it began in the 1960s, marked by a variety of pub- lications that brought attention to the issues at hand. In fact, many historians of the movement date the birth of the modern environmental movement to Rachel Carson's 1962 paradigm-changing book Silent Spring, which detailed the damage wrought by pesticides throughout the ecological web. Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons" (1968),a doomsday scenario about population growth, was published toward the end of the decade.

Richard Stevensa and Deserai Anderson Crowb,c aDepartment of Media Studies, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, Colorado, USA; bCenter for Environmental Journalism, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, Colorado, USA; cCenter for Science & Technology Policy Research, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, Colorado, USA ABSTRACT This article examines the difficulty in teaching contemporary stu- dents of journalism (those in the much-discussed Millennial Gen- eration) to report on complex topics like science and the envi- ronment. After examining contemporary literature, the authors subjected 120 undergraduate students to a strategy that com- bined visual representations of abstract concepts, media texts, and experiential peer interactions. The results indicate positive outcomes on comprehension and demonstrations of critical anal- ysis from this pedagogical approach. Teaching environmental reporting continues to be a daunting undertaking. Com- pared to other coverage areas of news media, the issues, sources, politics, and even ideological understandings present more challenges to reduce down into journalis- tic news frames. In fact, just understanding the issues involved can be daunting, as one journalist noted: When it comes to systematically covering “the environmental story,” anyone who moves beyond the most simplistic approach sees immediately the extraordinary complexity involved even in mapping the territory, let alone understanding trends, issues, conflicting evidence, the role of information sources, and other aspects of the story.

This research was therefore required to examine the theological implications of climate change with the aim of bridging the gaps between theological and scientific interpretation of the events. Comparative phenomenological methodology was adopted in view of the fact that theological interpreta- tions of events needed to be compared with scientific ideas so as to ascertain the meeting point. The re- search noted that the areas of variance between theological beliefs and climate change are as a result of wrong interpretation of theological events.

    Central South Native Plant Conference Speaker Mini Biographies Jim Allison retired in July 2004 after more than 15 years of service as a botanist with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. His years of field work in Georgia and the Southeast have produced many significant finds and several “conservation hotspots” he discovered have since received formal protection, most notably the Coosa Prairies and the Bibb County (Alabama) Glades. From the latter, he described and named nine(!) Alabama plants new to science (he has named Georgia plants since, and is working up still more). Increasingly alarmed by the number of uncontrolled invasions of exotic plants as he travelled throughout the South, Jim helped found the Georgia Exotic Pest Plant Council and served as its second president. In December 2006, he accepted a part time ranger-naturalist position at DeKalb County’s Davidson-Arabia Mountain Nature Preserve. Wayne Barger graduated from Jacksonville State University in 1994 and 1996 with B.S./M.S. degrees in Biology and from Auburn University in 2000 with a Ph.D. in Botany. He performed one year of post-doctoral work with the USDA in Stoneville, MS. He taught at the university level for four years and has published numerous peer-reviewed publications. Currently, he is employed as the State Botanist with the Natural Heritage Section/ALDCNR, a position that he has held for three years. Sara Bright has spent the last 30 years photographing the natural treasures of Alabama and the Southeast. After receiving a business degree from Birmingham Southern College, she started a commercial photography business.
