The organisers wish to invite panel proposals covering the following broad themes:
- Landscape histories: Landscape status and change over time. The impact of human use on the environment.
- Landscapes of ecological and socio-cultural resilience: Landscapes as places of resistance and restoration, of ecological and human diversity.
Struggles over landscapes: Rights to land and natural resources. Studies of conflicts, strategies and policies in land and natural resources.
- Urban landscapes: Urban areas as places of development and destitution, environmental struggles and changing property rights.
- Conceptualising landscapes: How landscapes and environmental values are framed and perceived differently by various actors and how these differences may be linked to issues of poverty, wealth, ethnic relations, identity and power.
- The landscapes of protected areas: What are the social, environmental and economic costs and benefits of protected areas? What perceptions, interests and needs are made relevant through the protection of landscapes.
