24-26 April 2003 - Worlds apart? Human settlement and biota of islands - The Association for Environmental Archaeology Annual Symposium will be held in the School of Archaeology and Palaeoecology, Queens University Belfast, Belfast from the 24th-26th April 2003. The subject of the symposium will be "Worlds apart? Human settlement and biota of islands". Download information about this conference (as a Microsoft Word document) by clicking here. Islands play a central role in the formation of both environmental and social communities. This conference aims to bring together palaeoecologists, environmental archaeologists, archaeologists and social historians to explore these themes. Ireland has a rich archaeology and natural history associated with islands, ranging from investigations of small islands and crannogs in lakes, islands in sea Loughs and inlets to of islands off the coast. In addition to these more obvious islands, there are areas of dry islands land within substantial areas of bog and floodplain, which have been foci for colonisation by fauna, flora and human inhabitants. However, people have also created their own social islands or isolated communities, on grounds of religious or cultural difference. The conference aims to explore how such environmental or social communities survived in such settings and the particular problems they faced. Whilst one of the central themes will be the island palaeoecology, archaeology and history of Ireland, we are actively seeking contributions on any aspect of island research. Key issues to be addressed include:

1-5 April 2003 - The Wetlands Archaeological Research Project conference Wetlands Archaeological Research Project is having its conference in Olympia, Washington, 14-16 February 2002 - Environmental Justice and Global Citizenship Thursday 14th February 2002 - Saturday 16th February 2002 CALL FOR PAPERS This inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary conference project aims to explore the role of ecology and environmental ideas in the context of contemporary society and international politics, and assess the implications for our understandings of fairness, justice and global citizenship. The first in an annual series, the conference project will develop a focus on four interlocking areas; Area 1: will examine the changing relationship between nature, culture, and society and will look at the impact of environmental thinking and ethics on issues such as animal/species welfare and rights, conservation and preservation, sustainable resources, food and feeding, space and air space, present and future needs, human rights, and our obligations to future generations. Area 2 will examine the ethical and political impact of environmental thinking, looking at its emergence and role in political contexts, the factors which influence the formation of environmental policy, what (if any) is the place of economic methods and considerations, differing perspectives on the interpretation of scientific data, and the ability of national and international communities to successfully implement environmental policies. Area 3 will examine the international nature of environmental issues and look at the problem solving processes which are or might be employed particularly in light of globalisation. Specific examples and case studies can be used to highlight the rise to international political prominence of ecological and environmental concerns, how environmental negotiation works in the context of international relations, the responsibilities of multinational companies, the feasibility of establishing environmental 'laws', and the future of ecological 'business'. Area 4 will explicitly examine the themes of justice, community and citizenship, looking at the tensions present in ecological debates, the influence of cultural values, the meaning of ethical business practice, the assessment of what counts as environmental equality, inequality, and justice, and our responsibilities toward the world in which we live. The translation of statistics to individual faces, numbers and the people they represent, questions about what we must do, and the role of protest groups will also be considered. Perspectives are sought from
The conference is the first in an annual series of research projects, run under the general banner "Probing the Boundaries". It aims to create working 'encounter' groups between people of differing perspectives, disciplines, professions, and contexts. The project is to be supported by an e-mail discussion group, resource website, ISSN e-journal, and dedicated ISBN eBook series. Selected papers accepted for and presented at the conference will be published in themed volumes. For further details information, please visit the conference website at:
