Visiting Assistant Professor of Government Peter Cannavo's forthcoming book The Working Landscape: Founding, Preservation, and the Politics of Place (MIT Press, 2007) was one of the featured titles in a "New Books in Environmental Political Theory" panel at the annual meeting of the Western Political Science Association. Cannavo presented the book, and it was reviewed - quite favorably - by the panel discussant. The meeting was held in March in Las Vegas.
Cannavo also participated in a panel focused on the career and legacy of social ecologist Murray Bookchin as well as in the meeting's annual Environmental Political Theory Workshop in which participants discussed scholarship and teaching methods.
