AESS Statement on IPCC Sixth Assessment Report

Association of Environmental Studies and Sciences Statement on the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report 

September 21, 2021

The verdict is clear. The IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) on climate change released on August 9 is nothing less than “a code red for humanity. The alarm bells are deafening, and the evidence is irrefutable.”

The IPCC scientists warn that unless rapid and deep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions occur in the coming decades, global warming will exceed 2°C during the 21st century, with catastrophic consequences for ecosystems and societies, and achieving the goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement “will be beyond reach.” These consequences are already reality for vulnerable communities.

The Association for Environmental Studies and Sciences (AESS) stands firmly behind the consensus on climate science and the need to accelerate our efforts to study, mitigate, and adapt to the climate emergency. We support any and all efforts to conduct research, educate, and advocate for policies and equitable solutions to the climate crisis. We urge all affiliated institutions and cooperatives at AESS to work with us in supporting interdisciplinary and equitable approaches to tackling these intersectional challenges. 

Right now, we have a historic opportunity to act on climate. Democrats in the U.S. Congress are determining the provisions in the $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation package that would create investments in clean energy, put a price on carbon, and address environmental injustice. Only a few days or weeks remain before the package goes to a vote, which cannot be blocked by the filibuster. The following are ways you can take action: 

The time is short, but change is still possible. We already have all the solutions we need to avert this crisis. We call upon all institutions and entities to act strongly and decisively in response to this collective challenge. For resources provided by AESS, visit AESSOnline.org

AESS Announces New JESS Editor in Chief

The Association for Environmental Studies and Sciences announces the appointment of the new Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Environmental Studies and SciencesDr. Teresa Lloro, following a competitive international search that attracted highly qualified candidates.  The Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences (JESS), the flagship journal of the Association for Environmental Studies and Sciences (AESS), was established in 2010. JESS is published by Springer, part of Springer Nature.  The journal offers a venue for relevant interdisciplinary environmental research, practice and public policy dialogue.

Dr. Lloro is an Associate Professor in the Liberal Studies Department and is an Affiliated Faculty with the Lyle Center for Regenerative Studies, at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona.  Her degrees include a B.S. Biology, University of Redlands, USA, M.S. in Environmental Studies, California State University, Fullerton, USA and a PhD in Education, Society, and Culture, University of California, Riverside, USA.  She resides in Southern California, USA.

Dr. Lloro has shared the following biography and message:

“I am an Associate Professor at Cal Poly Pomona, a large public university in Los Angeles County, California that serves a diverse student body. As an interdisciplinary activist-scholar with interests in food justice, activism, and urban agriculture, I work closely with a grassroots community organization that endeavors to change the local food system in a suburb of Los Angeles that has been deeply impacted by systemic poverty and racism, as well as other structural inequalities. I do this work by volunteering with the organization in a variety of capacities, as well as through systematically collecting qualitative and historical data that I analyze through an intersectional feminist lens, with a specific focus on care. I embed my research and activism into my teaching through collaborating with community partners, other faculty, and students to create projects that include documentary filmmaking, practical farming experiences, building a free community seed exchange to establish seed sovereignty, and empirically studying how farmers develop and maintain soil care practices. The California Humanities, Cal Poly Pomona, and the Cooperative Gardens Commission have all supported my work.

In addition to publishing in numerous journals and edited book collections, I have published two books, Animals in Environmental Education: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Curriculum and Pedagogy (co-edited with Valerie Banschbach) and Animal Edutainment in a Neoliberal Era: Politics, Pedagogy, and Practice in the Contemporary Aquarium. From 2015-2019, I was a member of AESS’s Executive Board and have served as an Associate Editor of JESS since 2015. In 2018, I was the inaugural recipient of AESS’s Early Career Award.

I am very excited to be the new Editor-in-Chief of AESS’s flagship journal. I look forward to the opportunity to work with the entire ESS community to strategize new ways JESS can be a platform for diverse voices and perspectives, particularly those that have been historically marginalized in the ESS.”

We, on the AESS Board, hope you will give Teresa a warm welcome as she transitions into the role of EiC, with founding Editor-in-Chief Tony Rosenbaum’s support.

AAPI Statement

The Association for Environmental Studies and Sciences supports Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander (AAPI) people and communities. We condemn recent acts of violence toward Asians.  The tragedy in Atlanta is a horrific example of a growing trend of overt violence, and part of a much longer history in the United States of AAPI discrimination that is often underreported, unacknowledged, or ignored. AESS stands in solidarity with community leaders, students, and educators who are actively engaged in anti-racist action and serving the needs of the most vulnerable members of the AAPI community.

We grieve for the victims Daoyou Feng, Hyun Jung Grant, Suncha Kim, Paul Andre Michels, Soon Chung Park, Xiaojie Tan, Delaina Ashley Yaun, and Yong Yue, and their families.

Our AESS community is committed to elevating the voices of those who are members of marginalized and minoritized groups in Environmental Studies and Sciences.  An important step toward achieving that goal is for those who hold the power associated with privileged, historically dominant identities in the United States to become educated to promote the greater good.  Here are some resources for that work.

Resources

Academia can be a common setting for bullying related to identity. We encourage our members to learn about cognitive bias, how to interrupt bias and how to intervene when they witness bias and discrimination.

Position Announcement

Advertisement for JESS Editor-in-Chief

The Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences, the flagship journal of the Association of  Environmental Studies and Sciences (AESS), is seeking an Editor-in-Chief. Established in 2010,  JESS is published by Springer, part of Springer Nature. The journal offers a venue for relevant  interdisciplinary environmental research, practice and public policy dialogue. In addition to  setting a rigorous, credible standard for interdisciplinary environmental research, the journal also  aims to represent diverse voices in the ESS community. Toward this end, recent initiatives  include a new “essays with attitude” op/ed section and plans for an undergraduate research section. The journal has a high standard for publication and an international readership,  publication record, and editorial board. 

AESS seeks to appoint an Editor-in-Chief (EiC) to succeed Walter (Tony) Rosenbaum, the  founding EiC who will be retiring from the journal in September of 2021. The position for the new EiC will commence June 1, 2021 to provide overlap between the new EiC and Emeritus EiC  for transition mentoring. 

The newly appointed EiC will have full editorial responsibility for the content published in the  journal and for ensuring that the ethos, editorial standards, policies and scope of JESS are  maintained. They will also be responsible for providing strategic guidance and overseeing the  scope of content and work of 26 Associate Editors. The EiC will lead an Editorial Board of 30 members and collaborate closely with the AESS Board. The AESS board expects the EiC to have  a strong presence in the organization, contributing to the Annual Conference, attending monthly  board meetings as an ex officio representative of JESS, and chairing the AESS Publications  Committee. 

While no single candidate is likely to exemplify all of the following characteristics, we are seeking an EiC who is: 

  • An active scholar with publishing experience situated in one or more areas of the fields of environmental studies and sciences. 
  • Experienced as a journal editor, associate editor, or special issue editor, with strong  critical analysis and appraisal skills, and a good understanding of peer review and publication ethics. 
  • Prepared to help JESS realize the goals of AESS with respect to equity and inclusion.  The EiC must understand strategies for mitigating biases against scholars based on their gender, race, ethnicity, institutional type, and other factors that have led to  marginalization, historically, in ESS.  
  • Able to demonstrate strong leadership and collaboration skills.  
  • Able to articulate a clear vision for JESS consistent with the interdisciplinary mission of AESS. 
  • Interested in building strong community relationships with environmental studies and  science scholars and practitioners at all levels.  
  • Dedicated to further developing JESS as a leader in the rapidly evolving landscapes of interdisciplinary scholarly journal publishing and of the fields of ESS. 

In addition, although the publisher provides administrative services, the EiC must be able to dedicate a significant amount of time on a regular basis to a busy and thriving journal. See the  position description for details of the work. 

Term of appointment 

The term of office will be for five years, with an option for renewal by mutual consent for a  further term. The position offers an honorarium. 

Applications 

Applications should include a full CV, a letter explaining interest in the position and  qualifications, and a separate document that outlines a vision for the future of JESS, in relation to  the AESS mission and to the increasingly open-access environment of scholarly publishing.  

Applications should be sent to the JESS Search Committee at:  

EICapply@aessonline.org 

Applications will be reviewed by a Search Committee that will recommend the candidate for hire  to the AESS Board. The Search Committee consists of the AESS leadership, Board members,  and two Associate Editors of JESS. Tony Rosenbaum (JESS Editor-in-Chief) and Melinda Paul  (Springer Publishing Editor JESS) are ex officio advisors to the Committee. The AESS Board  will make the final selection of the EiC. 

Closing date for applications 

April 15, 2021 

Interviews and start date 

Interviews will begin in early May. The anticipated start date of the position is June 1, 2021. 

AESS does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, age, sex, sexual  orientation, gender identity, national origin, marital status, disability, or veteran status in its  education or employment programs or activities.

BBS: Social and Ecological System Dynamics

BRANDED BOOKS SERIES

We are excited to announce that Social and Ecological System Dynamics: Characteristics, Trends, and Integration in the Lake Tana Basin, Ethiopia, Edited by Krystyna Stave, Goraw Goshu Yemer, and Shimelis Aynalem,  is the first book in our Interdisciplinary Environmental Studies and Sciences Series.

From the Springer book page:

This book is a social—ecological system description and feedback analysis of the Lake Tana Basin, the headwater catchment of the Upper Blue Nile River.  This basin is an important local, national, and international resource, and concern about its sustainable development is growing at many levels.  Lake Tana Basin outflows of water, sediments, nutrients, and contaminants affect water that flows downstream in the Blue Nile across international boundaries into the Nile River; the lake and surrounding land have recently been proposed as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve; the basin has been designated as a key national economic growth corridor in the Ethiopian Growth and Transformation Plan.  In spite of the Lake Tana Basin’s importance, there is no comprehensive, integrated, system-wide description of its characteristics and dynamics that can serve as a basis for its sustainable development.  This book presents both the social and ecological characteristics of the region and an integrated, system-wide perspective of the feedback links that shape social and ecological change in the basin.  Finally, it summarizes key research needs for sustainable development.

Series Editor-in-Chief (and Past AESS President) Wil Burns writes:

I am really pleased that Springer has published the first of many anticipated contributions to our AESS branded book series. This volume reflects the unique interdisciplinary perspectives that we hope to bring to bear in all of our publications in the series. It should prove to be a valuable publication both for those with a particular interest in this region, as well as those looking for lessons that could be applied in other contexts where the interface of social dynamics, development and ecological system integrity are critical considerations. I look forward to continuing to work with our partner, Springer, and the AESS community to publish more the valuable research of our members and colleagues.


This book is published by Springer, and is available as an E-book in many academic library collections. It can also be accessed here: http://www.springer.com/us/book/9783319457536

Purpose of the Branded Book Series (BBS):

To explore the intersection of natural science, law, policy and action, while informed by the social sciences, and highlight the power of interdisciplinary focus as opposed to traditional disciplinary silos. The series initial targets are energy and health.

The series is managed by

Past AESS President Wil Burns, Editor-in-Chief.

Board of Senior Editors:

  • Wil Burns, School of International Service, American University
  • David Downie, Fairfield University, member
  • Tony Rosenbaum, University of Florida, member
  • David Sonnenfeld, State University of New York, member
  • William Winner, North Carolina State University, member
