S4/ECI Conference:
| Impacts of Disaster: Comparing Ecological and Social Resilience |
Date: March 17-18, 2006 |
| Location: Petteruti Lounge (Faunce House) |
Even the worst disasters leave behind a surviving community. The purpose of this conference is to understand the resilience
of both ecosystems and human communities, and the relationship between the two. How do communities rebound, under what
conditions is rebuilding more or less successful, what are the long term costs of disasters, and what opportunities are
created in their wake? The conference is jointly organized by John Logan (S4) and Osvaldo Sala (ECI), and speakers include
a range of disciplines, from sociology to history to marine biology. Every panel will seek to contrast theories and concepts
from the perspective of natural and social scientists. Click here to see the conference program. |
