Hi all,

I'm teaching a new upper division Environmental Anthropology course in the spring. It's a pilot this year, so smaller (cap is 60), but it'll get its own course number and be larger in the future.

If you have students who might be interested, please feel free to share this flyer — I'd love to see them in the course!

Greetings all,

We're excited that Dr. Amelia Moore, Cornell University (and recent president of the Anthropology and Environment Society), will speak on Thursday in the series on Culture, Power, and Social Change, 12:15-1:45 in 352 Haines Hall. The talk title: "Intersectional Environmental Justice: An
Invitation." Flyer is attached.

Lunch will be served at noon, thanks to the Center for the Study of Women|Streisand Center.

Dear UCLA Environmental Scholars Network,

I’m writing to circulate a recently announced Summer Field School on Food Waste Epistemologies in Sardegna, co-led by Streisand Environmental Fellow Rachel Vaughn.

This Summer School is conceived as an intensive, interdisciplinary training experience inviting participants to explore what the organizers call the “epistemology of food waste.” At its core is a key insight: food waste cannot be understood, measured, or governed without examining how different forms of knowledge—scientific, traditional, experiential, embodied, and normative—shape the very concept of “waste” itself.

The program is designed for graduate students, PhD candidates, and early-career researchers from any discipline who are interested in food systems, environmental studies, sustainability, critical theory, or related fields.

Deadline: March 15, 2026
