The University of Miami School of Architecture, the Institute for Advanced Study of the Americas, the Graduate School, and the Center for Urban and Community Design, with the collaboration of the Master of Professional Science in Urban Sustainability and Resilience program, are pleased to share a current Call for Papers and invite contributions for an upcoming inaugural spring symposium titled Sub-Tropical and Tropical Coastal Resilience: Social, Economic, and Physical Adaptations in South Florida and the Caribbean and its subsequent special issue journal publication titled Sub-Tropical and Tropical Coastal Resilience.
Please share this invitation with your community and network and consider submitting your research.
The symposium is seeking a broad range of submissions under three umbrella topics: Mobility, Metabolisms, and Resilience. Please see the full list of sub-topics below. This symposium, and the forthcoming journal publication, aims to address the human-centered aspects related to climate change by exploring recent lessons, current research, and ongoing regional collaborations. We welcome all scales and modes of inquiry and a broad range of submissions, including human, social, cultural, and design responses across multiple frameworks, interactions, and topics.
In addition to the peer-reviewed papers, submissions focused on policy, design, and practice are also encouraged.
