“Energy Landscapes: Perception, Planning, Participation and Power” in September 2015.
With this email I want to inform you that the call for papers has been published
The Landscape Research Group has organized a European conference on Energy Landscapes: Perception, Planning, Participation and Power.
The conference is hosted by the Leibniz Institute of Ecological Urban and Regional Development and will take place on September 16-18, 2015, in Dresden, Germany. This is a wonderful time to be in this part of the world. Moreover, it is close to many energy landscapes that may be visited.
Key questions to be discussed are:
· Perception – How is the character, perception, assessment and social construction of landscapes influenced by present and past uses of energy?
· Planning – Which types of landscape-related planning and governance regimes exist and how are they linked to landscape planning, spatial planning and energy policy?
· Participation – In the face of energy transitions, to what extent are landscape policies inclusive and participatory? Which actors are involved and who is constituted as an actor in this regard?
· Power – Which power relations shape the interplay of energies and landscapes? How can the workings of power be conceptualized and critically reflected?

The deadline for submitting abstracts is February 28, 2015.
