2nd One-Day Research Student Conference: Human Behaviour and Climate Change

Following the success of the first Human Behaviour and Climate Change Conference at Cardiff in 2010 we invite PhD students from a range of disciplines working broadly in the area of human behaviour and climate change to join our 2011 event. It will incorporate keynote talks with student-led presentations. Aimed primarily at those working on topics such as climate perceptions, attitudes, and energy behaviours we also encourage contributions from students working on human aspects of climate change in interdisciplinary or related fields including technology studies, human geography, environmental sciences, and environmental sociology. The conference will provide an opportunity to discuss cutting edge theoretical, methodological and policy issues as well as to network and share experiences with peers. Attendees, especially those in their 2nd and final years of PhD study, are encouraged to give short presentations of their work. If you wish to do so please send a Title and 150 Word Abstract to Lesley Strabel at the address below.


There is no fee for attending the conference, which will run from 9:00 until 5:30 and is supported by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the School of Psychology Cardiff. A small amount of travel and accommodation funding is available to assist students without their own means of financial support to attend.
