Dear Colleagues,
The EcoHealth Student Section of the International Association of
Ecology and Health (IAEH) is now accepting submissions for its
Dialogues program to appear in the "News from the IAEH" section of
the journal EcoHealth. The Dialogues program pairs 700-word student
commentary on EcoHealth-related topics with a relevant 300-word
response from an EcoHealth professional.
The program is committed to both the fostering of communication
between students and professionals as well as providing an outlet for
students to articulate their opinions on working in the EcoHealth
field. Topics pertinent to the Dialogues program might include, but
are not limited to, how to improve interdisciplinary training in
graduate programs, how the field of EcoHealth can grow in the future,
or how students balance research and advocacy on EcoHealth topics.
The primary theme of essays, however, should relate to being a
student doing EcoHealth work; the more these discussions can be tied
into your experience with your research, the better!
Recent Dialogues essays have discussed the role of EcoHealth students
of national public health agencies as well as EcoHealth approaches to
health communication and student positioning within the
science-policy interface.
The deadline for the first round of article submissions is February
15th, 2014. Please email questions and/or submissions to
[email protected]. Students are encouraged to contact the
editorial staff for suggestions on professional respondents related
to their essay topic.
Best regards,
Daniel Becker
Student Editorial Assistant
