CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS (DEADLINE: February 28, 1996)
The Interdisciplinary Environmental Association (IEA), in conjunction
with Assumption College, invites you to participate in the 2nd 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.
The Conference is aimed at the educated layperson and FOCUSES on:
(I) What do all disciplines have to offer with respect to environmental
and resource problems;
(II) What are the implications of the globalization of environmental
concerns for all life on planet Earth.
This year's THEMES are:
Education and Technology.
The conference welcomes practitioners and it is open to everyone regardless
of background. Participants may organize sessions (please ask for "Session
Organizer Guidelines"), present papers, chair sessions, discuss papers,
or simply observe.
To facilitate communication, authors should make an effort to write
their papers for readers outside their disciplines. All papers will pass
a peer review process prior to presentation and publication 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, three presenters, and at least one discussant assigned to
comment on each paper. (Other formats for workshops or panels will be used.)
Time allocated for each session is one hour and 45 minutes. Additionally,
