EiE events at CIES 2020

*****************************************

CIES 2020 is canceled. See message below from organizers.

In response to the global pandemic of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and in consideration of the health and safety of conference participants, the CIES Board of Directors unanimously voted today to cancel the on-site portion of the CIES 2020 Annual Conference in Miami. The CIES 2020 Program Committee plans to continue the virtual portions of the conference as scheduled. In addition, we are actively seeking ways to further extend the virtual participation of the conference beyond what was already planned.  

*****************************************
 

We live in a moment of epochal precarity. Altering life on the entire planet, humans have become the dominant force behind irreversible ecological catastrophe: natural resource depletion, water and air pollution, human overpopulation, species extinction, and a fundamental breakdown of the ecosystems that have sustained life on Earth for millions of years. This era signals the end of human exceptionalism and (neo)liberal individualism – the core concepts of Western philosophy and the foundations of modern political economy – as a single vision for surviving on a damaged Earth. What is required is an urgent redefinition of what it is to be human and a radical reconfiguration of the relationship between human and Earth.

The central concern of CIES 2020 is what these planetary changes – and their political, economic, social, and environmental consequences – entail for education.
