Hello everyone,
Midwest Eco is
extending the submissions deadline to September 9. See below for more
information.
Additionally, if
you are sure that you are traveling to Chicago this October 14-15, please check
our lodging page for information on local hotels, hostels, and other
arrangements, as well as options for getting to the conference location. This
map will update as we find more possible lodging locations. As a reminder,
booking earlier gives you a better chance of getting an ideal location at a
lower price, especially given that fall can be a busy time for Chicago
conferences. https://midwesteco2016.wordpress.com/lodging-travel/
More information
about the conference will be posted on the website as we have it. Be sure to
bookmark it and check back regularly for updates. We update the site as soon as
we have the information! Currently we are working on getting registration up
and running.
All questions
should be directed to midwesteco2016@gmail.com. Thank you!
Crystal

We
are inviting submissions to the 40th Annual Midwest ECO
Conference: Building
Diverse Communities for Change, focusing on engaging and building diverse perspectives with the
goal of social action and change. Diversity is emphasized in the stakeholders
involved—practitioners, community members, academics, and others—, the identity
characteristics welcomed and acknowledged for their strengths, as well as the
diverse systems and ideologies mobilized. As such, this year’s conference
emphasizes sharing ways in which we enlist the collaboration of entities that
may have different beliefs and experiences, incorporating knowledge of the
context in which diverse groups function, and ways in which we work together
despite differences and find common ground, question, and explore to create
change.
Proposals
should be an
abstract of no more than 200 words. Uploading your presentation, poster,
workshop text, etc. is optional; only the abstract is required for the
September 9th deadline.
Preference and special consideration will be
given to proposals aligned with this year’s theme. Ideas for ways in which your
submission may relate to the theme include:
§ How

diverse perspectives, theories, and ideologies are utilized
§ How
context of diverse groups is acknowledged
