Welcome to the blog for "Political Philosophy of Nature and the Environment." The purpose of this blog is twofold: to provide some discussion material for our class meetings, and to provide a forum for continued discussion outside of class. If you are new to blogging, it would be good to read over A Blogger's Code of
Ethics and Weblog
Ethics, both of which offer valuable insights on how to monitor your
participation in blog conversations. Also, please have a look at the blog grading rubric (see link to the right) so that you know how I will be evaluating blog participation.
I'll have the reading/blogging schedule updated for tomorrow's class.
The blog is also an easy way for us to share occasional online resources - so if you come across something that strikes you as especially relevant to our course, please feel free to share the information here. In that vein, here is a piece from this summer that links our two pieces for tomorrow really nicely. And here the accompanying interview with Emma Marris:
The reading for Friday reminded me of an article I read on CNN back in December (http://www.cnn.com/2012/12/06/us/florida-python-hunt/index.html).
Starting in January 13 the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission is sponsoring a program - the 2013 Python Challenge - to get more citizens involved in actual python hunting. They're testing out the incentive-based model. The prize for the most pythons is $1,500 and the prize for the longest is $1,000.
