Final Webinar / Series: Integrating and Advancing Social Science in Conservation Practice

[SSWG Communications]

Dear colleagues,

We’re delighted to invite you to the final webinar in our series,
Integrating and Advancing Social Science in Conservation Practice, which has brought together researchers and practitioners to explore how social science can more effectively shape and inform conservation.

Webinar Title: Training, Gaps, & Reimagining the Field
Date and Time: Wednesday, November 19 | 4:00–6:00 PM ET (10:00 PM–12:00 AM CET)

Throughout this series, we’ve examined the realities of doing embedded, equitable social science in conservation. A recurring theme has been the disconnect between institutional structures and the growing call for interdisciplinarity and inclusion.

In this closing session, we’ll focus on reimagining conservation careers — not just identifying the gaps, but rethinking how conservation social science is supported and practiced across regions and institutions.

Speakers include:

• Harold Eyster, PhD – The Nature Conservancy (USA)
  Use of theories of human action in recent conservation research

• Rachel Dacks – University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
  Emerging human dimensions research in coastal and nearshore Oceania

• Alia M. Dietsch – Ohio State University (USA)
  Conservation and the social sciences revisited

We hope you’ll join us and help close the series on a thoughtful and inspiring note.

Warm regards,
SSWG Team
