About the Conference Theme:
Taking advantage of the tremendous social, geographical, and environmental opportunities that the greater Pittsburgh region has to offer, we have chosen the following theme: Linking Rural and Urban Societies and Ecologies. This theme will help us think more about social-ecological systems in an increasingly urbanized and politicized world, and it will allow us to explore salient topics, such as food, architecture, climate change, water, business, energy, transportation, education, values, fairness and wellbeing, among many other possibilities.

About the Association for Environmental Studies and Sciences:
A major aim of AESS is to encourage engagement with today's socio-ecological challenges by serving the needs of environmental scholars and scientists who value interdisciplinary approaches to research, teaching, and problem-solving (learn more about our association  here<http://e2ma.net/go/12964766560/214220813/238861347/1401437/goto:http:/aess.info/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_id=939971&module_id=35440>; our journal  here<http://e2ma.net/go/12964766560/214220813/238861348/1401437/goto:http:/aess.info/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_id=939971&module_id=83941>). The meetings provide an incredible opportunity to engage with a diverse range of environmental scholars and practitioners through sessions, workshops, receptions, and excellent plenary talks. AESS is particularly accessible to young scholars and students, providing opportunities to network and grow.

About the Venue at Duquesne:
Pittsburgh provides a compelling setting to explore this year's theme: Linking Rural and Urban Societies and Ecologies<http://e2ma.net/go/12964766560/214220813/238861349/1401437/goto:http:/aess.info/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_id=939971&module_id=124341>:

As we think of ways to bridge the rural/urban divide, we are fortunate to have a venue that showcases this theme very well.   Pittsburgh is a post-industrial city that has reinvented itself through higher learning institutions and the health care industry. However, the urban center is embedded in the vast rural region of Northern Appalachia, with legacies of agriculture, tourism, resource extraction, and manufacturing. There will be several field trips that explore these socio-environmental histories (e.g. urban farms, mining legacies, the Cultural District, and the Strip District). Conference participants will have ample opportunities to explore one of the most livable cities in the U.S. (learn more at http://www.planpittsburgh.com/green/<http://e2ma.net/go/12964766560/214220813/238861350/1401437/goto:http:/www.planpittsburgh.com/green/>)


About the Call for Proposals:
Our call for conference presentations occurs in two parts.

Call #1 - for sessions
In this first call we are soliciting proposals for pre-organized workshops, symposia, panels, and roundtables in which all (or a substantial number of) scholars have already agreed to participate.
Session proposal deadline:  Extended to December 13th, 2012.

Call #2 - for individual papers/presentations
The second call is for individual abstracts for all forms of oral and poster presentations. This call will follow the close of the call for sessions. AESS will make every effort to group individual papers/presentations together as thematic sessions, and may assign individual proposals to unfilled sessions developed from the first call. Presenters involved in a pre-organized symposium, panel or roundtable must submit their abstracts at this time.  For pre-organized workshops, the organizer must submit an abstract for the workshop as a whole at this time, although abstracts are not required of individual presenters in such workshops.
Individual proposal deadline: March 1st, 2013.
