The University of Kentucky Political Ecology Working Group invites you to participate in the Ninth Annual Dimensions of Political Ecology Conference (DOPE) to be held February 21-23, 2019, in Lexington, Kentucky, USA. DOPE has become a key international forum for students and faculty at all stages of their careers, as well as activists and grassroots community organizations, fostering critical interdisciplinary discussion of urgent topics including: rural social movements; food systems; complexity in ecological and social systems; decolonization, knowledge, and difference; science and technology studies; neoliberal natures and climate justice; and feminist political ecologies, among many others. Over 300 scholars, activists, and environmental professionals attended DOPE 2018 representing dozens of disciplines and academic institutions from across the world.

We encourage you to contribute to the intellectual vitality and continued success of the conference by organizing a session for DOPE 2019. The conference is open to any topical, theoretical, or methodological framework that brings together scholarship on the ecological dimensions of political, social, and economic research, as well as the social aspects of natural sciences.
