Notes

1. This Interface is comprised of contributions that evolved out of a panel organized for the 2015 Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning Annual Conference, and of an additional commentary that subsequently responded to the resulting exchange.

2. Other declarations include the Amsterdam Declaration, adopted at the World Humanist Congress by the International Humanist and Ethical Union in 2002, A Secular Humanist Declaration, issued by the Council for Democratic and Secular Humanism (CODESH) in 1980, the Declaration of Interdependence: A New Global Ethics, adopted by the Board of Directors of the International Humanist and Ethical Union in 1988, and The humanist manifesto 2000: A call for a new planetary ethics, published by the Center for Inquiry in 2000.

3. For a genesis of the first humanist manifesto, see Wilson (1995).
