CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS
(Early Deadline for Abstracts and Registration: February 15, 1999)
The Interdisciplinary Environmental Association (IEA), in conjunction
with Assumption College, Worcester Massachusetts, invites you to
participate in the 5th International INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE
ON THE ENVIRONMENT!
The Conference is motivated by the 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 are aimed at the educated layperson and FOCUS on:
(I) What all disciplines have to offer with respect to understanding
environmental and resource problems;
(II) What solutions are available;
(III) What are 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 the "Panel Organizer Guidelines"), present papers,
participate in poster sessions, chair sessions, discuss papers, participate
in round-table discussions, or simply observe.
To facilitate communication, authors should make an effort to write
their papers so as to be understood by audience outside their disciplines.
All papers will pass a peer review process for publication consideration
in the Conference Proceedings. With your help we hope to disseminate the
Conference Proceedings around the world to libraries, legislators,
governmental agencies, and nongovernmental organizations.
The program will consist of:
- small concurrent seminar-type sessions with: chairperson, presenters,
and at least one discussant assigned to comment on each paper;
- poster sessions;
- round-table thematic discussion sessions with moderator;
- workshops and panels;
- invited speakers.
Time allocated for each session is one hour and 30 minutes.
