CALL FOR PAPERS

Inaugural Conference on Ecological Spiritualities in Spring 2021

The question, how to shape the “countryside,” has arguably been the central design problem of twentieth-century architecture and planning in the global arena. While architectural histories of modernization have mostly focused on urban projects, the question of the countryside was integral to the problems these schemes sought to address.

The Social Possibility Lab seeks contributors for “guest” posts on our website. Contributors are invited to submit essay-style contributions of 2,000-4,000 words. Submissions may be derived from work-in-progress or research but should be geared for a general readership (not solely an academic audience). Creative responses are welcome. Publication decisions are solely at the discretion of our project team and submissions may be edited for tone, clarity, concision, or more.
