NEW DISCUSSION LIST--PLACE AND COMMUNITY STUDIES
     _________________________________________________________________
   
   ***Announcing the Place and Community Studies Discussion List!***
   
   
   The Place and Community Studies discussion list, sponsored by the
   Place and Community Studies Institute, is an interdisciplinary
   forum to discuss ways in which teaching, research, activism, living
   practices, and artistic production can be applied to valuing and
   sustaining our unique places:  our natural and built environments,
   as well as our social communities.  Part of the mission of the list
   is to foster dialogue and build bridges between people from all
   walks of life and, for teachers and scholars, between all levels
   and disciplines.
   
   To help build a strong community on the list, we would ask that all
   new subscribers post an introductory message describing your
   background and your specific interests regarding this list.
   
   To subscribe to the list, compose a message addressed to:
   
   PlaceComm-request@earthsystems.org
   
   In the subject line, type the word subscribe. Send message--that's it!
   No need to put anything in the body of the message.
   
   The list will be archived at http://earthsystems.org/list/PlaceComm/.
   
   Basic information about the list (pretty much what is in this
   message) can be found at http://www.earthsystems.org/PlaceComm/.
   
   Please join this new list--up and running just today!--and please feel
   free to forward this information to other appropriate lists and
   individuals.
   
   Thank you!
   
   Tom Dean
