This year, the conference will focus on the topic of <strong>Bridging the Gap: Connecting the Dots in a Fragmented Environmental Field.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nEnvironmental ideas that have been crystalizing in the last five decades are now coming to a turning point. The accumulation of scholarly work on the environment spans natural sciences, organizations,\u00a0and policies. There are a variety of components, but often insufficient connections and shared language. We aim in this conference to do the work of weaving some of these components together. In particular, we believe that the social sciences and the humanities have a lot to offer for this process of weaving and therefore need to take their place and contribute to integrating environmental knowledge into societal rituals, practices, and identity.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>These are some of the questions on which the conference will focus:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u2022 How do policies connect to goals and needs in diverse local social and cultural environments?<br \/>\n\u2022 How can \u201cold traditions\u201d help weave new science-informed policies into the social fabric?<br \/>\n\u2022 How do we connect different organizational fields to shared environmental ideas?<br \/>\n\u2022 How do we weave a shared narrative of sustainability in different contexts?<br \/>\n\u2022 How do actors and researchers create a coherent environmental language?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Scholars, professionals, policymakers, and NGO representatives are invited to submit abstracts of up to 150 words for a 15-minute lecture (on Zoom) or an hour-long workshop (in person, at Berkeley, CA) addressing these and other related topics through the conference website. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To <strong>register for the conference<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/cecc.sf.ucdavis.edu\/registration\">click here<\/a>.
