P&E: special issue dedicated to the memory of Daniel Hogan

The latest issue of the Population and Environment journal is dedicated to the memory of Prof. Daniel Joseph Hogan, who passed away in 2010. I had the honor to have him as my advisor throughout my Masters and I was glad to read the Introduction to this latest issue. It gives us a more broad perspective on the wide contribution Daniel made to field and to Brazilian social science.


     "The relationship between population and environment goes to the heart of social dynamics. The field encompasses considerations of equality and equity in light of environmental risks and vulnerabilities. Studies of population–environment dynamics also illuminate how humanity can face new risks. Daniel believed that the study of population and environment relationships could help point the way from the largely negative realm of risks and vulnerabilities to new forms of social organization characterized by greater respect for both the natural world and humanity. It is with this spirit that we dedicate this collection to the memory of Professor Daniel Hogan."

godspeed!
