Conference Theme - Tailoring Resource Solutions to Diverse Social-Ecological Contexts
The IASNR conference emphasizes local to global resource management issues, environmental issues, collaborative stakeholder processes, and the social impacts of natural resource management. It is also a venue for presenting cutting-edge research and engaging in productive discussions focused on the sustainable management of natural resources.
For this conference, we accept paper presentations and posters on themes related to the social context of resource management (including agriculture, forestry, energy, protected areas), from social science disciplines.
