A belated shout- out on behalf of the Australia New Zealand Society for Ecological Economics (ANZSEE),  who is organizing what I think will be a pretty amazing conference from 11-14 November 2013, at the Crawford School of Public Policy, ANU in Canberra.

(I might be biased – I’m the Secretary of ANZSEE and part of the conference organising committee).
