More on the Conference Theme: AESS recognizes and embraces complexity as the hallmark of our field. Social, physical, biological and ideological factors in environmental problems are intricately linked, and environmental problems are so tightly interconnected that addressing one invariably affects others. This limits our predictive capacity and challenges the assumptions embedded in our models of natural and social phenomena. Engaging in dialogues about complexity presents challenges in both classroom and public sphere. Confronting complexity is critical to our ability to develop effective responses, thus this theme for the AESS 2011 annual meeting. About the Conference Host: The University of Vermont, the state's land grant institution, is one of the top green universities in the United States. It offers numerous environmental majors and is home to 10,000 undergraduates, 1,500 graduate students, and 1,300 faculty. Located in Burlington, Vermont, the campus and green conference venue are perched on a hill and look west across Lake Champlain to the Adirondacks and east to the Green Mountains. Downtown is a short shuttle ride or walk from campus with easy access to shops and restaurants. Burlington is the largest metropolitan area in Vermont and has received high ratings for livability, sustainability, and cultural engagement.
