Anja Claus to present at the 2010 AAG Conference

November 7th, 2009

CHN colleague Anja Claus will present at the 2010 annual meeting of the Association of American Geographers, April 16-18 in Washington DC. Ms. Claus will present a paper entitled “Protecting Values of Place: Efforts to Develop Democratic Ecological Citizenship in Two North American Communities.” The paper is part of her Masters Degree in Geography and Environmental Studies research which focuses on the following central questions: What kinds of methods inform and empower citizens in their efforts to maintain the health of ‘place’? Are these tools reproducible in other communities? What are the prospects for such democratic ecological citizenship in the face of an overarching belief in free markets and unfettered individualism?
