Ethnobiological News & Announcements

Dear Society of Ethnobiology Members,

The Society of Ethnobiology unequivocally supports Black Lives Matter, both in the United States and around the world. We condemn any hate or violence against Black people and Black communities. We recognize the deeply rooted structures that allow such hate and violence to perpetuate. The Society of Ethnobiology denounces the use of state and police violence against their own persons and calls for new and better leadership at all levels to stop the violence against Black people. 

The General Membership Meeting of the Society of Ethnobiology is being held on Friday, May 10 from 4:00-5:30 in Geography 100. Due to the limited amount of time to cover the many activities that are happening within the Society and the many concerns of our members, we chose to distribute several reports and announcements as supplements to the spoken reports.  These reports are available as attachments to this announcement. We hope you will join us on Friday at 4:00 and, even if you are not present, you can review these documents. They include:

The first annual Networking Social for Applied (Non-Academic) Ethnobiology and Ethnobotany Scholars and Practitioners was held at the 2018 SEB-SoE joint meeting in Madison. The event was well-attended beyond the organizers expectations. Students and early, mid and late career professionals filled the room and spilled out the door.
