A commitment to increasing the contributions and roles of the social sciences is particularly emphasized. The goal is to foster increased dialogue among natural resource managers, social scientists, policymakers, and resource management scientists. Exploration of the linkages between culture, environment, and society will be a guiding theme at the 1988 event. This thrust is based on the notion that complex resource issues are societal problems based in cultural systems and can be addressed by multidisciplinary perspectives. In addition, any presentations bringing a humanities or social science perspectives to resource and environmental issues will be welcomed. Symposium activities include concurrent paper and poster sessions, panel and round table discussions, film/video sessions, and various field trips. Hosted by the University of Missouri, the Symposium welcomes all researchers, managers, academicians, policy specialists, and students interested in the human aspects of resource management.
