CCS and CSCS would like to see this discussion as an occasion to promote dialogue between disciplines, fields, and researchers - Ecology, Cultural Studies, Political Science and Anthropology among them - on the questions of environment, "indigenous peoples", politics, and conservation, in the spirit of their work on interdisciplinary and integration. This is also an effort to promote collaboration between institutions that are host to different disciplines and methodologies. We look forward to your insights and inputs to help promote such a dialogue.
