Jacque (Jody) Emel, Clark University
Emel is Professor of Geography and Director of the Graduate School of Geography at Clark University. Her research focuses on the impacts of natural resource and concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO) development. Her most recent grant from the National Science Foundation evaluated the linkages between corporate social responsibility and sustainability as fostered by foreign direct investment in Tanzanian gold mining. Research and writing on CAFOs was born out of the seminal volume, Animal Geographies: Place, Politics and Identity (co-edited with Jennifer Wolch, Verso 1998), that help to establish animal geographies as a sub-disciplinary area within geography. Earlier work employed critical social theory to examine the ideological effects of water-law systems, the narrowness of acceptable legal discourses distributing risk between mining companies and “host” communities, and the ethnic and ecological cleansing promoted by European settlement of the western United States.

Roberta Hawkins, Clark University
Roberta Hawkins is a PhD student in the Graduate School of Geography at Clark University. She is interested in applying feminist geography and political ecology perspectives to interrogate ethical consumption practices. Her dissertation research is entitled: “Buy a disposable diaper, save a life? An analysis of consumption as development intervention.” The project investigates cause-related marketing initiatives, where a corporation and non-profit organization collaborate to simultaneously promote a product and social issue [e.g., Product (RED)]. Usually a donation is made to the cause for each product sold. In this research she analyzes the discursive practices used to frame consumption as ethical and as a viable development intervention and looks at the way that these discursive practices encourage certain types of North-South relations over others. Roberta has an Bachelor’s degree in environmental science from Queen’s University (Canada) and a Masters degree in environmental studies from York University (Canada).
