14th INTERNATIONAL INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE ON THE ENVIRONMENT
http://ieaonline.org/conference.htm
Delta Edmonton Centre Suite Hotel
Edmonton, Alberta CANADA
JUNE 30 – July 3, 2008
CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS
(Deadline for Early Registration: May 18, 2008)
The Interdisciplinary
Environmental Association (IEA) invites you to participate in the 14th
International Interdisciplinary Conference on the Environment! The
conference is motivated by the increasing need to combine ideas and
research findings from different disciplines to enhance our
understanding of the interactions between the natural environment and
human institutions. Conference presentations focus on:
• What all disciplines have to offer with respect to understanding environmental and resource problems
• Possible solutions that are available
• The implications of the globalization of environmental concerns
The conference welcomes
environmental practitioners, academics, students, and all interested
persons regardless of background. Participants may organize sessions
(please ask for "Panel Organizer Guidelines"), present papers,
participate in poster sessions, chair sessions, discuss papers,
participate in round-table discussions, or simply observe.
The conference welcomes
papers and posters submitted by students, both graduate and
undergraduate. Advisors, please contact kreiter@stetson.edu for details.
To facilitate
communication, authors should make an effort to write papers and design
posters that can be understood by an audience outside their
disciplines. All papers submitted for publication consideration in
Interdisciplinary Environmental Review must pass peer review from both
within and outside the primary discipline of the author(s). The program consists of:
- Small concurrent seminar-type
sessions with chairperson, presenters, and a discussant assigned to
comment on and integrate the ideas of the presentations
- A poster session with a period for discussion with the authors
- Round-table thematic discussions with moderator
- Workshops and panels
- Invited keynote speakers
- Welcome reception the evening of June 30; conference banquet luncheon July 2
We welcome research that
spans the boundaries of traditional disciplines to frame environmental
problems, propose working models, or address field, community, or
academic issues. While any interdisciplinary environmental topic is
welcome, areas of special interest in 2008 include:
- Environmental Issues in Western Canada and the Northern Plains
- Environmental Ethics
- Regional Water Resources and Pollution Issues
- Environmental Issues and Native / Aboriginal Communities
- Arctic / Sub-Arctic Climate Change
- Creative Visions of the Changing Landscape
- The Economics of Sustainability
- SPECIAL TOPIC: Accreditation of Environmental Programs
