Welcome
Social Dynamics and Global Challenges: The Role of Human Ecology in the 21st Century
organized by
Brazilian Society for Human Ecology (SABEH) in cooperation with
Universidade Federal do Vale do São Francisco (UNIVASF) and Universidade do Estado da Bahia (UNEB), Graduate Program in Human Ecology (PPGEcoH).
Juazeiro, Bahia and Petrolina, Pernambuco, Brazil.
July 19th to 22nd 2020.
A. Abstract Preparation should include: The full title of the paper and name(s), institutional affiliation(s) and email address(es) for registered presenter(s). Abstracts should be about 150 – 200 words and include three to five key words. Abstracts should be submitted as an attachment.
Early submissions help the conference committee identify emerging themes and design the program. Thus, we encourage early symposia/paper/poster submissions and abstracts as soon as is possible — keeping in mind revisions are always accepted up to the final deadline date.
B. Forms of Participation
1. Organized Sessions/Symposia: Organized sessions should be designed to fill a 1 ½ – 2 hour block and involve 4 to 6 presenters. These usually consist of either a group of papers or a thematic discussion/symposium. The organizer is responsible for the coordination of participants and for collecting the abstracts for all symposia/organized session presenters which should include email contact information and institutional affiliations.
2. Contributed Papers: Individual papers will be grouped on similar issues. Paper presentations (@ 20 minutes in duration, depending on the number of papers in each session) will be placed in 1 and half to 2-hour time slots, with time allotted for end-of session discussion.
3. Posters: Space and time will be provided for poster-style presentations. Submissions for posters follow the same guidelines as for a contributed paper, e.g. author, title and abstract.
SHE conferences are meant to be as broadly interdisciplinary as possible so suggestions from all areas of human ecology – theory, education, research and practice – are welcomed.

Program Chair SHE XXIV Conference
The Society for Human Ecology (SHE) is an international interdisciplinary professional society that promotes the use of an ecological perspective in research, education, and application.
SHE’s goals are to:
- Provide a forum through which scientists, scholars, educators, and practitioners may exchange ideas and information.
- Promote the advancement of an ecological perspective in interdisciplinary studies and practice.
- Identify problems, discover their origins, examine possible solutions and their implications, and then make recommendations for implementing those solutions.
- Look ahead to the consequences of human action on our social, natural, and built environments.
- Build cooperative arrangements among human ecology programs and organizations throughout the world.
- Facilitate the exchange of this information throughout an international network of individuals interested in human ecology.
The Society holds regular conferences, conducts workshops and symposia, and co-sponsors a variety of related activities to further integrate work among professionals in fields pertaining to human ecology. SHE is an affiliate of INTECOL (International Association for Ecology) and Ecological Society of America (ESA), with cross ties to the Human Ecology Section of ESA. SHE also works in a consortium with other national and regional human ecology organizations throughout the world. SHE publishes the online journal Human Ecology Review, with hardcopies available to members at reduced rates.
The SHE-XXIII Conference was an exciting and diverse event, with participants from more than 35 countries.
Here are some of the highlights: the Keynote Addresses, the Program Overview, and the Awards. A full copy of the program can be found here.
Other Society news will be posted shortly.
