2012 THEME: THE GEOGRAPHY OF SUSTAINABILITY GUEST EDITOR: FAUSTO O. SARMIENTO, Ph.D.
As the 21st century develops, so, too our understanding and application of sustainability concepts will emerge and mature. We must confront the realities of a world where multiple regions and cultures dominate as we forge ahead through the decades in which human population will reach its peak and the production of carbon-based energy will decline. Crucial to the development of this new paradigm for sustainability will be a cross-cultural and multi-regional framework in which geography, with its inherent incorporation of the cultural and the physical, from the micro- to the meta-level, must play a central role. In this spirit, we solicit scholarly and punctual contributions on the theme of “the geography of sustainability.” Preference will be given to authors who address the emerging binaries that guide our understanding and education about sustainability: North versus South; Natural versus Cultural; Carbon-based versus Electron-based; Urban versus Rural; Traditional versus Modern. JSE emphasizes how we teach and learn about these important topics in formal, as well as informal settings at all stages of life. For details on prospective manuscripts, please contact Fausto O. Sarmiento (fsarmien@uga.edu) University of Georgia geography professor who serves as Guest Editor for this special issue of JSE on the Geography of Sustainability.
