Join a diverse international and interdisciplinary gathering.
Contribute to a wide range of formal and informal exchanges situated in one of the most dynamic regions in the globe (Southeast Asia)
Enjoy both academic and cultural discussion in one of the model cities for master-planning and sustainable urban development in the Philippines

At this point, we would like to hear from people interested in taking part in this event. If you are, and would like to receive continuing announcements and information, please “reply” electronically below.
Like previous human ecology conferences, this event is intended to bring together a diverse group of educators, researchers and practitioners who utilize, or are interested in, interdisciplinary and human ecological approaches.
SHE meetings together with ICHSPD rely heavily on the suggestions and contributions of participants. We aim to make this event as broadly interdisciplinary as possible—bridging science, social science, and policy perspectives—with literature, humanities, and creative arts. Contributions from all areas of human ecology (theory, education, research, and practice) are welcomed.
Examples of recent SHE conference sub-themes include: Ecological Economics ~ Environmental Design ~ Eco-Arts ~ Food Systems/Food Security ~ Environmental Justice ~Human Ecology Education ~ Climate Change ~Health and Well-being ~ Indigenous and Decolonial Ecologies ~ Urban/Regional Planning ~ Historical Ecology ~ Conservation Social Science ~ Literature and Ecology ~ Interdisciplinary Collaboration ~ Sustainability ~Social Development ~ Human Development ~ Environmental Planning ~
…. and more
Guidelines for organized symposia, individual contributions, posters and workshop sessions will be available soon. In the meantime, anyone with preliminary program suggestions or contacts with interested colleagues or institutions is invited to contact: sheconference.uplb@up.edu.ph
Please reply with your suggestions on this form.
Note: We only need statements of interest/intention at this time. Formal abstracts and detailed information on participants will be requested at a later date.
