A prominent environmental theologian begins a chapter of a recent book with a request familiar to all parents and children alike. "Tell me a story...a story about when you were young." The past entices us because it seems a fixed reliable point of reference in a world dominated by rapid change and diminishing expectations. Narratives of place have an ameliorating influnce that has contributed to slowing the tempo of the St. Vitus dance of the American psyche. We are looking for papers/presentations that explore the idea of place and its relevance to urban-suburban environments. Topics include characteristics of place, values and place, place as a viable nexus for culture/nature exchange, etc. Preference will be given to interdisciplinary approachs.
