"The Jaguar and the Orchid: Transnational
Environmentalism in a Mexican Forest."

a presentation by
Dr. Molly Doane

Molly Doane is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Marquette University. She received her Ph D. in 2001 from the Graduate Center, CUNY. She has several publications based on her Ph.D. research in Chimalapas, Oaxaca, including “The Political Economy of the Ecological Native” (in Press, American Anthropologist) and has recently completed a book on the same subject (The Jaguar and the Orchid: The Politics of the Environment in a Mexican Forest). Her current research concerns fair trade coffee circulating between Chiapas Mexico and the Midwest, and is funded by the NSF and the Wenner Gren Foundation. It develops themes explored in the earlier research, including the uneasy merger of “producer” and consumer” based politics in transnational social movements, transnational environmentalism, and the privatization of politics.

Ehren Watada (Violet)

If any of you guys are looking for an event to go to next week, this may be a good one. Ehren Watada's mother is coming to UIC to speak about her son's upcoming court marshall. For those of you who do not know, Watada is the Army's first officer to refuse to go to Iraq, because he believes the war to be illegal, and that his particiapation would constitute a war crime. He was willing to deploy to Afghanistan, but instead he faces court marshall on feb. 5th. He faces charges of missing movement, and of conduct unbecoming an officer.
