The Virginia Tech symposium on enhancing resilience to catastrophic events through communicative planning
Virginia Tech's Institute for Policy and Governance and the Center for Peace Studies and Violence Prevention invite scholars to consider how collaborative planning can enhance resilience to events that threaten to overcome the social and ecological integrity of communities, states, and societies.
Presentations and discussion will be held in Blacksburg, VA on November 16-18, 2008, and symposium papers will be edited and revised for journal and/or book publication in early 2009.
