Introducing the International Political Ecology Collaboratory
You are invited to join a new listserv, the International Political Ecology Collaboratory (IPEC). This list comes out of numerous discussions during and after DOPE about how we can coordinate across distance and discipline to create new, material connections between political ecologists across the world.
This list provides a forum for discussion and exchange between political ecologists from different disciplines and different parts of the world. The aspiration is to foment an international community of political ecologists who will organize events, collaborate in research projects and teaching activities, etc.
The list can be used to communicate research results and publications; advertise job openings, conferences, talks or calls for papers; initiate collaborations among political ecologists; share and comment on news or audiovisual material of interest to political ecologists.
IPEC is not meant to replace or supplant any existing listserv or organization, but to supplement them with an eye to initiating new conversations, projects, and connections.
If you want to join, sign up here, and feel free to invite any potentially interested people.

Reflections on DOPE2013
From February 28 to March 2, more than 300 scholars, environmental professionals, and activists met in Lexington, Kentucky, USA for the third annual Dimensions of Political Ecology (DOPE) conference. The conference featured participation across more than 30 disciplinary/research affiliations and from more than 75 institutions located across the globe. In the largest iteration of the conference yet, participants attended 47 paper sessions, three panels, and two keynote addresses from Drs. Ariel Salleh and Arun Agarwal. Beyond the formal conference, participants enjoyed the welcoming and collegial environment where they were able to forge new friendships, academic endeavors, and partnerships in a setting of cutting-edge work in nature/society research.

Now that we've had a few days to catch up on sleep, the DOPE 2013 organizing committee would like to thank all of you who joined us in Lexington. This conference would not have been possible without your participation, so thank you for presenting papers, chairing and organizing sessions, serving as discussants, and contributing to the vibrant conversations that made the conference so exciting. It was a collective endeavor, and we are truly grateful.
Over the next few weeks, we will be posting audio recordings of selected sessions and other content here on the website - check back, and be in touch if you have suggestions for website content or other avenues for collaboration. We are extremely interested in continuing to build a community around political ecological research, so we welcome all thoughts and suggestions.
