Dear ethnobiologists working in Central Asia and Europe,
We would like to request your participation in a new Ethnobiology workshop to be held in Kallaste Talu, Padise, Harjumaa, Estonia, October 15-17th, 2010. The workshop will reflect special emphasis on the ethnobiology of former communist Eurasia. Scholars conducting research in these countries are especially encouraged to participate. The idea of the workshop is to share an overview of the current ethnobiological research ongoing in the region, and to establish an interdisciplinary research network that may in the future lead to joint research, publications or projects.
As part of the registration, please submit your expression of interest, a one-page CV and a 300-word abstract about your current research in ethnobiology to renata@folklore.ee and raivo.kalle@mail.ee
To complete the registration, submit the answer to additional questionnair and transfer participation fee as soon as possible, but before September 15.
