<br>International Seminar on Environment and Society
<br>
<br>Current Challenges and Pathways to Change
<br>
<br>Lisbon, 2-3 March 2020
<br>
<br>
<br>Call for papers
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>The Environment and Society Section of the Portuguese Association of
<br>Sociology, in collaboration with the Institute of Social Sciences of the
<br>University of Lisbon, and the PhD program in Climate Change and Sustainable
<br>Development Policies, organizes its first International Seminar, under the
<br>motto: Current Challenges and Pathways to Change.
<br>
<br>
<br>Confirmed keynote speakers are Alan Irwin (Copenhagen Business School,
<br>Denmark), Lusa Schmidt (Institute of Social Sciences, University of Lisbon),
<br>Matthias Gross (Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research - UFZ and
<br>University of Jena, Germany) and Noel Castree (University of Manchester,
<br>United Kingdom).
<br>
<br>
<br>As the interactions between environment and society become more and more
<br>complex, there is a greater need for critical analysis of the current
<br>challenges and pathways to change. This two-day seminar aims at bringing
<br>together scholars whose work engages with the cross-disciplinary field of
<br>society-environmental relations. The goal is to share and debate new insights
<br>on the issues that result from the complexity of the interactions within
<br>society, and between society and nature. Therefore, the seminar will cover
<br>reflections from multiple origins that, together, allow a more integrated
<br>understanding of environmental problems and dilemmas in today's societies. In
<br>such perspective, approaches based on systemic views of nature and
<br>sustainability are welcome.
