Acknowledgments

The inspiration for this workshop came from a chance meeting with Joseph Getzoff at the 2015 Dimensions of Political Ecology Conference (DoPE) at the University of Kentucky. Joseph participates in The Upper Midwest Nature-Society Graduate Workshop which started as a partnership between the departments of geography at University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and University of Illinois-Champagne-Urbana. The Middlebury workshop partly draws from the Midwest Conference.
