Trent Schroyer is Professor of Sociology-Philosophy in the School of Social Science and Human Services at Ramapo College in N.J.
Since 1988 he has participated in networks of International Scholars and Citizen's Organizations concerned with counter G-8 Discourse, Alternative Economic Strategies, Sustainability, and Cultural Alternatives to Development. He served as Program co-coordinator for the counter G-8 summits in the United States in 1990, 1997 and 2004 and President of The Other Economic Summit (TOES/US) from 1998.
TOES/US is an international non-governmental forum for the presentation, discussion, and advocacy of the economic ideas and practices upon which a more just and sustainable society can be built -- "an economics as if people mattered." TOES is a precursor of the World Social Forum, with a long history of building solidarity links among peoples and communities around the world.
This book was introduced at the G-8 counter-summit in Denver. Trent attended the Earth Summit in Rio in 1992 and served as an NGO rep at the first three sessions of Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) at the United Nations in New York. At Ramapo college he helped organize a series of conferences on sustainability and co-edited a book on "Creating a Sustainable World: Past Experiences and Future Struggles".In 2000 he was invited by Siddhartha, from Fireflies Intercultural Center in Bangalore, India, to bring Americans to document the cultural alternatives and activist movements that work in India. Leading three tours in 2001-2003 for activists, scholars and students resulted in a semester-long study abroad program called 'Peace, Justice and Social Movements' in 2004 that is now ongoing every winter semester.
Schroyer joined the Ramapo faculty in 1973 because of its non-traditional Interdisciplinary Schools and mission of global education. At first he taught in the School of Environmental Studies, and later served as Co-Director of the Institute for Environmental Studies in the School of Theoretical and Applied Science.
He graduated with a PhD from the Graduate Faculty of the New School in New York City. Originally a specialist in European Critical Theory, teaching at the Graduate Faculty of the New School in New York City, his book "The Critique of Domination:The Origins and Development of Critical Theory" was nominated for a National Book Award in 1973.
