events for next year

[Amy]

Hey everybody,
I hope you've all recovered from the Pittsburgh conference and have
had a little time to think about what events we will be holding for
next year. The call for symposia, organized oral and organized poster
sessions has already gone out. Proposals are due on September 16th.

We discussed at the business meeting having a theme something along
the lines of "different visions and worldviews of planetary
stewardship". To me, this means an international panel discussing the
meaning of stewardship in different cultural contexts.
Though we have a team of people in the waiting to finalize things and
write all the official paperwork, more brains in the mix is always a
plus, so please contribute possible speaker names to the list.

Also, the call for workshops or special sessions will also go out
soon, so if you're interested in helping put something together,
please step up. We were thinking something following up on this year's
symposium possibly with a paper in the mix would be appropriate. If
that's the case, I'd be willing to contact all the speakers and see if
they want to participate with us in a venture like that.

Just a second reminder, with a deadline, for the symposium. Let's
stick with "diverse worldviews of planetary stewardship", aiming for
an international perspective on what conservation and stewardship
means.
The intro and central theme will revolve around the fact that not all
cultures think of ecology and conservation the same way - the Western
perspective historically entirely excludes humans from the landscape
while other cultures cannot imagine a landscape without humans as part
of the underlying system productivity. We want to hear examples from
everywhere about how this cultural understanding and difference in
perspective might actually be used in a stewardship context.

Bottom line is I want to hear from people (especially if you agreed to
help) if you have potential speakers. Ideally, if you know someone who
would be good in this role, ask them yourselves. We need to have
commitments from all the speakers if we are going to get another
symposium.
So, by next Wednesday, please get your contributions to me either in
the form of a "yes" or (preferably earlier) some contact information
for invites.
If I don't have help, I'm declaring myself symposium dictator :-)

Hi Amy,

I just joined the ESA Human Ecology group. I'm a professor of environmental studies at Texas State University with research interests on human ecology (I will write a book on the subject during my sabbatical leave in 2012). Yes, I would like to help you with the symposium. Adrian Vogl and I are working on a proposal for an organized oral session at ESA 2011 (see draft proposal attached). Let me know if you would like to submit this oral session as part of the ESA human ecology program.

- Best, Vince

Hi Vince
I am replying to the whole group, as others might be interested.
The oral session you are proposing looks interesting. Are you aware of this conference for the transdisciplinary research network that is coming up shortly in Geneva? A number of Human Ecologists are going to be there, including Roderick Lawrence from the Geneva Human Ecology group and Merrit Polk who runs the Human Ecology Program out of Gothenburg Sweden - and myself from the Human Ecology program at ANU.
The conference theme has some cross over with what you are suggesting to run - you might want to look around?

See you all in Texas in August
Cheers
Rob

Hi Amy
I have already contacted Prof. Joe Vogel from the University of Puerto Rico about the conference and the human ecology symposium. I am attaching his CV as he is a good candidate.

This is Chiho.
Do we have any travel support for [potential] speakers from developing countries?

Hi Amy
I also sent this message to a Prof in France who works with this theme in South Africa
Below is his reply..

Dear Yogi
this sounds good? When is that conference? We are busy writing a paper in english exactly on that "not all
cultures think of ecology and conservation the same way" in a comparative perspective?

Also he is wondering if there is fund ti support a speaker from South Africa.

Hi All
Keep these ideas coming. However, I am pretty sure that ESA does not provide funding support to anyone.
Some of the larger sections have sufficient membership dues and other sources to support various things, like travel, prizes and rego, but we are far too small and new.
Maybe something we might aspire to have the means to do in the future?

Cheers
Rob

Hi Amy,

 

You might consider Professor Ronald Trosper, UBC Forestry.  He is aboriginal and has recently completed a book entitled Resilience, Reciprocity and Ecological Economics:  Northwest Coast Sustainability.  He could speak on stewardship from the NWC pre-contact indigenous community perspective.  If you are interested, I can ask him if he is available.  He spoke in my symposium in 2009 on Building Sustainable and Resilient Communities, Locally and Globally.  I see much overlap between what the Human Ecology Section is doing and that of the TEK Section, which I chair.

 

On a related note, I am organizing a symposium proposal on Building a Global Sense of Place.  I would like speakers from different sections within ESA or subdisciplines within ecology to weave their perspective in the synthesis.  

Do you know anyone in Human Ecology that might be able to speak on this?

 

Many thanks!

Mimi
