The following symposium may be be of interest to many subscribers of
NATIVE-L. One of the guiding of the themes of the conference is the
acknoledgement that environmental issues cannot be seperated from social
and cultural issues. This upcoming conference will focus on the linkage
between culture and the environment. Papers dealing with the environment
and culture (natural resource conservation vs. cultural conservation,
issues regarding resident and indigenous peoples...) would be especially
welcome.

May 27-31, 1998
Seventh International Symposium on Society and Resource Management
Columbia, Missouri

This biennial symposium focuses on the integration of the social and
natural sciences in addressing resource and environmental issues. 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
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.
