3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 From: Julie Morin <jmm266@xxxxxxxxx> Dear Colleagues, Please consider submitting your abstracts to the *session 308 > â??Imaginaries, perceptions and narratives of living in volcanic environmentsâ??* for the next COV conference in Antigua, Guatemala, Feb 11-17, 2024. *Oral presentations, lightning talks, and posters** are welcome.* *Session 308 description:* A wide range of imaginaries, perceptions and narratives shape (and are shaped by) the way individuals and communities live and interact with volcanic environments. Understanding how these emerge, are constructed, transmitted, transformed, or even disappear, is fundamental to a holistic and nuanced understanding of volcanic environments. This understanding is particularly important when considering sustainable volcanic risk reduction objectives and the success of volcanic crisis response. In this session, we aim to explore: â?? The different ways in which people imagine and represent volcanic environments. â?? How imaginaries shape perceptions of both volcanic environments and their associated hazards and risk. â?? How historical and contemporary narratives shape the ways in which people understand and experience living in volcanic environments. â?? How imaginaries, perceptions, and narratives influence the strategies that people develop to reduce or manage risk. â?? The roles and approaches that research and disaster risk reduction projects (should) have in addressing imaginaries and narratives. â?? The implications for future research and practice. We welcome contributions from researchers of all disciplines, practitioners and community members attending the conference. They should demonstrate the practical benefit of including work on imaginaries and narratives into research on volcanic risk and more broadly into disaster risk reduction project. Contributions are accepted in two ways: (1) lightning demonstrations or talks that showcase work, films or pieces that demonstrate the use of imaginaries and narratives in volcano research, and (2) classic research papers focusing on academic analysis (conceptual, methodological or case study based) of the ideas or benefits of this approach. The session will conclude with a 20-minute discussion in which both styles of presenters will reflect on these contributions. *Deadline for abstract submission is October 8: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://on-line-form.eu/iavceivolcano2023/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!fNu7OkPi27t_wNdkZKLqO3iuzvBpm3KQJXxrSrkApHF8w4E9ahcofO4xwBgW_J6pe1OEXXTt5F9Gd-uQ$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://on-line-form.eu/iavceivolcano2023/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!dVOgSwmu_DwT562QxIpZ86fiArwp6QtUxHLR8BkjLsbB094gooKIq2kAVirKDiinYyrA8YIjHLOWMhw$>* Contact: jmm266@xxxxxxxxx We hope to see you in Antigua!
