> **Rubbish as domestic, industrial , environmental as personal, 
> community or national is gaining a growing interest in public, 
> political and international discourses. Following some existing 
> research the aim of this session is to re-define some substantive 
> issues such as what is rubbish? Whose rubbish do we talk about? Whose 
> responsibility? These are significant questions in particular 
> regarding issues such as equal distribution, collection and disposal 
> of rubbish and the focus on the end line of consumption as rubbish. 
> The starting point of this session is the identification of rubbish as 
> physical or material but other insightful definitions and researches 
>  are welcomed.
>
> This session welcomes empirically- and conceptually-focused papers 
> that employ qualitative, quantitative or mixed methodologies as well 
> as theoretical contributions which engage issues of rubbish as 
> consumption and production oriented , the ethics involved in its 
> existence and how they are manifested in environmental politics, 
> citizenship and urban management.
>
> We encourage submissions that explore topics such as:
>
> -The feminist perspectives of rubbish ethics (production and consumption)
>
> - The ethics of equal distribution, collection and disposal
>
> - Value judgment and rubbish
>
> - Conflicts in various scales on rubbish
>
> -Cultural, ethnic and nationalized constructions of rubbish
>
