We will combine a poster session for graduate students and postdocs, with interdisciplinary graduate student and postdoc panels and a keynote speaker. An award of $2500 will be made to the most provocative and stimulating paper. There will be multiple panels. Some panel topics are pre-selected; the topics of other panels will be determined based on the submission of abstracts.
Extractive industries have produced negative social, economic and environmental consequences for indigenous people around the world. We are seeking submissions that explore one or more of these key issues: customary land rights, governance and transparency, corporate social responsibility, free prior and informed consent and toxic legacies. Submissions on other related topics are also welcome.
Environmental conditions such as flooding or hurricanes can result in temporary or permanent migration/r displacement. Such events and movement patterns are anticipated to increase under a changing climate. This can result in economic, societal, and cultural losses, as well as detriments to health. Some persons are more likely to suffer than others. We are seeking submissions that explore one or more of the following key issues: what personal, family, or community factors are associated with being more likely to experience migration/displacement due to a changing climate; What are the health and other impacts of migration/displacement from environmental conditions; What are the social and cultural implications of these movement patterns? Submissions from other related topics are welcome.
Resource dependent communities are likely to experience the impacts of climate change more quickly and more severely than others. We are seeking submissions that explore one or more of these key questions: how are resource dependent communities perceiving and responding to the immediate effects of global climate change; how are they adapting their resource management practices; what are the cultural consequences of climate change? Submissions related to other issues of adaptations of climate change are welcome.

Overview:
Global climate change is occurring more rapidly than at any point in history, primarily because of human activity catalyzing the release of heat-trapping gasses–greenhouse gases. 1 Climate change describes the complex shift in the planet’s weather and climate patterns, which encompasses events from unusual wildlife population displacement to extreme weather events and rising sea levels. The scientific evidence reinforcing the underlying cause of global climate shifts is considerable. 2 The varied impacts of climate change evident in every region of the United States have had an adverse effect on the domestic macroeconomy and will continue to do so in the future if uninterrupted. 3 Decreased crop yields, labor force displacement, rising sea level, and infrastructure damage are among the substantial first-order consequences of climate change. These costs are reverberating the world over and will have a consequential impact on the global economy, national security, and international stability unless adequately assessed and addressed.
