Islands are at the front lines of climate change. With close proximity to the oceans, they are often the first to experience land loss due to sea-level rise and erosion, the often catastrophic effects of extreme weather events, and the life-changing effects of changes in seasonality and temperature change on land and in the ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what of social change on islands brought about by climate change? How are the effects of climate change impacting on islandness?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This transdisciplinary conference sets out to explore the theme of climate change and social
change on islands through various sub-themes listed below.
\u25cf Food sovereignty
\u25cf Ocean health: ecosystem functionality (terrestrial, ocean, and the ecotone)
\u25cf Diverse knowledges
\u25cf Health and well-being
\u25cf Material culture: lived experiences of the everyday
\u25cf Climate and social justice
\u25cf Methods: contextualising in context
\u25cf Changing livelihoods
\u25cf Gender and intergenerational framing
\u25cf Environmental law and governance
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want to share stories. We encourage academic papers, panels, roundtables, posters, and non-traditional presentations (e.g., storytelling, interactive sessions, creative) from all disciplines, and we welcome submissions that look at the dynamics of climate change and social change on a case-by-case, island-by-island, or regional basis. All disciplinary perspectives are welcomed, but they must engage with notions of the lived experience of islandness. We are also keen to engage with presentations that adopt a more comparative framework or methodology in their critical analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
