[https://aess.clubexpress.com/clubs/939971/graphics/Abstract_Submission_Button.jpg]<http://www.aess.info/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_id=939971&module_id=130731> About the Conference Theme: Taking advantage of the tremendous social, geographical, and environmental opportunities that the greater Pittsburgh region has to offer, we have chosen the following theme: Linking Rural and Urban Societies and Ecologies. This theme will help us think more about social-ecological systems in an increasingly urbanized and politicized world, and it will allow us to explore salient topics, such as food, architecture, climate change, water, business, energy, transportation, education, values, fairness and wellbeing, among many other possibilities. About the Association for Environmental Studies and Sciences: A major aim of AESS is to encourage engagement with today's socio-ecological challenges by serving the needs of environmental scholars and scientists who value interdisciplinary approaches to research, teaching, and problem-solving (learn more about our association here<http://e2ma.net/go/12964765989/214220813/238861347/1401437/goto:http:/aess.info/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_id=939971&module_id=35440>; our journal here<http://e2ma.net/go/12964765989/214220813/238861348/1401437/goto:http:/aess.info/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_id=939971&module_id=83941>). The meetings provide an incredible opportunity to engage with a diverse range of environmental scholars and practitioners through sessions, workshops, receptions, and excellent plenary talks. AESS is particularly accessible to young scholars and students, providing opportunities to network and grow.

Pittsburgh is a post-industrial city that has reinvented itself through higher learning institutions and the health care industry. However, the urban center is embedded in the vast rural region of Northern Appalachia, with legacies of agriculture, tourism, resource extraction, and manufacturing. There will be several field trips that explore these socio-environmental histories (e.g. urban farms, mining legacies, the Cultural District, and the Strip District). Conference participants will have ample opportunities to explore one of the most livable cities in the U.S. (learn more at http://www.planpittsburgh.com/green/<http://e2ma.net/go/12964765989/214220813/238861350/1401437/goto:http:/www.planpittsburgh.com/green/>) About the Call for Proposals: Our call for conference presentations occurs in two parts. Call #1 - for sessions In this first call we are solicited proposals for pre-organized workshops, symposia, panels, and roundtables in which all (or a substantial number of) scholars have already agreed to participate. Session proposal deadline has passed. Call #2 - for individual papers/presentations The second call is for 1) submission of abstracts for individual panel presentations approved in the First Call, and 2) individual proposals for new panel presentations and poster presentations. AESS will make every effort to group new panel presentations together as thematic sessions, and may assign individual proposals to unfilled sessions developed from the first call. Individual proposal deadline: March 1st, 2013. ________________________________ For more information on the conference program or the submission process, please contact Nancy Rich at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]?subject=AESS%202013%20Abstract%20Submission> ________________________________ Full Conference Registration $275.00 $325.00 Conference Day Rate (Thursday) $150.00 $175.00 Conference Day Rate (Friday) $150.00 $175.00 Conference Day Rate (Saturday) $150.00 $175.00 Student Full Conference Registration $125.00 $125.00 Student Day Rate (Thursday) $70.00 $70.00 Student Day Rate (Friday) $70.00 $70.00 Student Day Rate (Saturday) $70.00 $70.00 1101 17th St NW Suite 250 | Washington, DC 20036 US ________________________________ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gep-ed" group.
