We are pleased to invite your participation to the XVIIIth International Conference of the Society for Human Ecology “HUMAN RESPONSIBILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE – PLANNING PROCESS AND POLICY” to be held at MonteLago Village Resort, Lake Las Vegas, Nevada, USA - April 20-23, 2011.
CALL FOR
PARTICIPATION
As the submission deadline approaches (January 31), it is important that the
conference planning committee has all symposia materials, abstracts,
presentation titles and authors’ information in hand. If you have already
submitted an abstract, then you do not have to resubmit. However, you may
wish to take this opportunity to re-send your abstract if you want to update
or modify it.
Abstract Preparation
Abstract preparation for contributed papers should include: A title page
with the full title of the presentation and name(s), affiliation(s), mailing
address(es), email address(es), telephone and fax number(s) for each
presenter. Those who are organizing symposia should likewise provide
information for all presenters. Abstracts should be about 200 words with
three to five key words and should be double-spaced. Abstracts can be
submitted as an attachment (MS WORD doc file) or as text. Please submit to
shelasvegas2011@gmail.com
and in the subject line of the email please indicate "SHE Abstract". A
summary of the submission guidelines for symposia, papers and posters is
attached below. FINAL DEADLINE FOR ALL SUBMISSIONS IS JANUARY 31, 2011.
Early submissions help the conference committee identify emerging themes and
design the program. Thus, we encourage early "draft" abstracts as soon as is
possible — keeping in mind revisions are always accepted up to the final
date.
Guidelines for Submission
1. Organized Symposia: Organized sessions should be designed to fill a 1 ˝ -
2 hour block and involve 4 - 6 people. These usually consist of either a
group of papers or a thematic discussion/symposium. The organizer is
responsible for the coordination of participants. E-mail and postal contact
information, institutional affiliations and abstracts for individual and
group presentations are required by January 31. At this point only the
session theme and the organizer’s name and institution are needed.
2. Contributed Papers: Individual papers will be grouped on similar issues.
Paper summaries (15 - 20 minutes in duration) will be given during the
session with time allotted for discussion. Please send presenter(s), titles
and institutional information as soon as possible. Submission and review of
abstracts is open until January 31.
3. Posters: Space and time will be provided for poster style presentations.
Submissions for posters follow the same guidelines as an abstract for a
contributed paper, e.g. author, title and abstract, but should clearly
indicate "poster" in the heading.
Note: Please send these submissions directly to
shelasvegas2011@gmail.com .
