• The relation of style to content in ecological thought and practice
• Connections between philosophy and green politics / art practice/ science policy
• The significance that specific environments have for ecological thought and action
• The connections between ecological practices (e.g. walking, observing, gardening, direct action etc.) and ecological thought
• Theory and practice of environmental justice and our relationship with future generations
