Prospective participants for the Islands of the World XII Conference, which will be hosted in the British Virgin Islands from May 29 to June 1, 2012 are being reminded that the deadline for submitting abstracts or posters is September 30.
Abstracts or posters should be sent to [email protected]
Submissions will be subject to “double-blind review,” which involves assessment by two anonymous readers as part of the approval process.
Suggested topic areas for submissions include agriculture, fisheries and conservation; health, social development and philanthropy; financial services, tourism and economic development; entrepreneurship, Caribbean governance and business; alternative energy, sustainable development and climate change; education, literature, history and culture; and information technology and disaster management.
H. Lavity Stoutt Community College is serving as host organisation for the conference, which is held every two years under the auspices of the International Small Islands Studies Association.
Under the theme, “Globalisation: Islands Adapting to Change,” one of the main objectives is to stimulate discourse on how islands across the globe, and in particular the BVI and the wider Caribbean, are adapting to 21st century challenges.
ISISA is a voluntary, non-profit and independent organisation. Its objectives are to study islands and to encourage free scholarly discussion on small island related matters, such as insularity, dependency, resource management, the environment, and the nature of island life.
For more information about the submission of abstracts or posters, please contact Lecturer at HLSCC and Chair of the Conference Steering Committee Dana Lewis Ambrose, tel. 852-7035, email [email protected]
