Here's just one feature that stuck with me. Orion is primarily a nature/environmental journal with some great contributors. I often use their search function to look for articles relevant to whatever subject I'm dealing with. Thanks for sharing the syllabus!

I am currently teaching a course called Daoism and the Environment which takes as it6s foundation the interconnectedness of all nature based in Chinese philosophy. Have you ever considered using articles from the Orion Journal? They have had some excellent articles on animals and human interaction with animals.

I am piloting a new course I've developed called Daoism and the Environment and I am combining the Daodejing with more traditional environmental writing including many Native American poets and writers.

I am developing a new course in Daoism and the Environment so I am exploring the idea of environmental aspects of the Daodejing and using it as an environmental text. I would consider a paper on that if it is appropriate. I know of course that the Daodejing is not…[Read more]

If it will help I am willing to volunteer. Primarily I deal with Confucianism and Daoism, considerably earlier than 14th century, but if you need people I'm willing to serve. I already serve on the Contingent Labor for the Profession Committee so I'm not sure how that would affect me serving here.  That's a committee not a forum so I do not…[Read more]
