Announcing ISSRM 2008

We are pleased to officially announce the 14th International Symposium on Society and Resource Management (ISSRM). The web site for the 2008 ISSRM is now “live” and can be found by logging on to www.ISSRM2008.org. ISSRM will be held on June 10-14, 2008 at the University of Vermont in Burlington. ISSRM is the official annual meeting of the International Association for Society and Natural Resources, and is the largest international gathering of academics, researchers, graduate students, and practitioners interested in the application of social science to natural resources and environmental issues. The theme of the 2008 Symposium is “People and Place: Linking Culture and Nature”, and will 1) emphasize the human dimensions of environmental and natural resources issues, 2) include the broad array of social science disciplines and related fields of study, and 3) illustrate the interdisciplinary, cooperative, and collaborative character of research and management. The 2008 Symposium will include a Welcome Reception, plenary sessions with keynote speakers,
concurrent sessions of scientific papers, a poster session and reception, a Student Forum, a Student Paper Competition, a Graduate Career Fair, and an awards dinner.

The 2008 ISSRM will be hosted by the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources, one of only a few such endowed academic units in the U.S. and the flagship of the University of Vermont’s commitment to excellence in environmental stewardship. The Symposium will be held at the University’s new Davis Student Center, a state-of-the-art, LEED-certified building, and on-campus housing will be available at the new University Heights Student Residential Learning Complex, also LEED-certified, and just a short walk to the Davis Student Center. Blocks of rooms are also being held at surrounding hotels. The University of Vermont campus sits “on the hill” in Burlington, a small
city on the shores of Lake Champlain, nestled between the Green Mountains of Vermont and the Adirondacks of New York, and a town that is perennially noted as one of the most “livable” in the U.S. Participants in the Symposium will appreciate the environmental and cultural amenities of Burlington, including a bustling downtown pedestrian mall with restaurants and shops, an extensive bike path, a community boathouse, a waterfront park and promenade, a fishing pier, a lake aquarium and environmental science center, and one of the most dramatic sunsets anywhere. Burlington is served by an international airport (just two miles from campus), AMTRAK, and Interstate Highway 89. The surrounding Vermont countryside offers a wealth of opportunities to learn about the State’s longstanding and progressive commitment to the environment, and to enjoy many forms of outdoor recreation. We encourage participants to extend their stay to take advantage of the “laboratory” that Vermont offers for studying sustainability and the Symposium theme of integrating people and the environment.


ISSRM offers many types of opportunities to participate, including traditional paper (oral) presentations, poster presentations, and a variety of sessions that can be organized by participants. Abstracts for all of these forms of participation are due by February 8, 2008. Details on abstract submission, as well as the Symposium program, registration, housing, travel, and other matters are included in the web site noted above. Please note that opportunities to help sponsor selected components of the Symposium, including the Student Forum, are available for those in a position to help. To receive more information about any aspect of the

Symposium, please contact us at ISSRM2008@uvm.edu.

In the interest of continuing to advance ISSRM, we ask you to forward this e-mail message to appropriate individuals and listserves. We hope that you will consider joining us in June, 2008 for the 14th International Symposium on Society and Resource Management.
