Science and Society: Social and Behavioral Sciences
Session ID#: 249592
Session Description:
A fundamental motivation for geoscience is developing knowledge and solutioning that help to solve society’s most pressing issues. Insights from a variety of communities and disciplines, especially those that relate to social behavior and decision-making, are crucial to improving society’s ability to pursue evidence-based environmental solutions or actions. This session highlights diverse talks that draw on theory, practice, and methods from the social and behavioral sciences (including but not limited to anthropology, economics, history, political science, decision science, psychology, philosophy, and sociology) and from practitioner communities that help enhance our understanding of science-society interactions and/or how evidence-based solutions/actions manifest and/or the societal impact of geosciences. We invite approaches, frameworks, stories or experiences that scientists and/or practitioners can use to improve science-policy interactions, and especially, that support social and behavioral changes at multiple scales. Local or regional perspectives from in and around the Gulf or Southeastern United States are especially encouraged.
