The Natural Resources Journal at the University of New Mexico will honor the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service with a special issue dedicated to national parks. Abstracts are due April, 1, 2015 and manuscripts will be due July 15, 2015. NRJ prefers articles with a clear thesis or argument that can materially advance the academic and policy-making discussion surrounding national parks. For more information, please see the complete call.
We invite proposals for papers that explore all aspects of the national parks, although preference will be given to topics with legal and ecological implications. Suggested topics including National Park Service history, wildlife conservation, legal developments affecting parks, parks’ water acquisitions, innovative modes of park management, efforts to designate new parks, and interfaces between national parks, Native American tribes and other neighboring communities
