Dear Marmam, Apologies for cross posting. On 26th October, a 1-day workshop "Introduction to Available Tools for Exploring Human Behaviours Important for Addressing North Atlantic Right Whale Conservation Issues" will be held at Dalhousie University in Halifax Nova Scotia, in conjunction with the North Atlantic Right Whale Consortium. Participation at the Consortium meeting is not required for attendance, although it is preferred. The intent of this workshop is to gather a variety of social scientists with those currently involved in right whale conservation issues for an exchange of information and to develop a very loose roadmap for how social science might be applied to advancing this issue going forward. This meeting will not focus on changing any specific behaviour, nor will it develop an outreach plan for doing so, as these tasks would need to be undertaken two or three steps down the line of a full investigation by social scientists and then the applied efforts of conservation marketers. It is simply an opportunity to learn where there might be some benefit to trans-disciplinary collaborations going forward, and to provide a suitable forum for networking across the disparate disciplines.
More details can be found here: https://www.narwc.org/2023-workshops.html. The intention is that this workshop will be free to all participants. If you are interested in participating, please email Andrew Wright ( marineb...@gmail.com) by 31st August, as participation will be limited due to the size of the available room. Best, Andrew Wright, Kathleen Normal, Emma McKinley (Co-organisers)
