Dear Colleagues,
I would like to invite you to submit presentation proposals to the Annual Conference of the Association for Applied and Clinical Sociology (AACS). You can learn more about AACS at http://www.aacsnet.org/wp/
The conference is in St. Loius, MO, October 14-17, with presentation days only on October 15-16. AACS nurtures the same spirit as EDRA and fosters the same atmosphere at the conference. You will feel at home.
We will try to organize several sessions on sociology of build environment and related issues, as long as there are enough submissions. The official CFP will come later and the deadline will be only about a month or two after the CFP. That is why I am calling now, to provide you with more time both for making a positive decision and preparing your abstracts.
If you would like to participate, please send me a 200 word abstract (150 to 250 is OK) at
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
If in doubt whether your topic qualifies, please do not hesitate to send me a rough abstract for an initial discussion. If you need, you can reach me by phone at 419-372-7935 (office).
I hope that there will be overwhelming response from EDRA members, and in particular from colleagues who reside within a driving distance from St. Louis. I think this will be a great chance for the neighbors to experience an autumn EDRA.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Lubo

Welcome to EDRA41 Washington DC |
|
EDRA invites you to participate in our 41st Annual Meeting, being held at the Washington Court Hotel in Washington DC, June 2-6, 2010.
Officially founded on July 16, 1790, Washington, DC is unique among American cities because it was established by the Constitution of the United States to serve as the nation’s capital. From the beginning it has been embroiled in political manoeuvring, sectional conflicts, and issues of race, national identity, compromise and, of course, power.
In the 41 years since EDRA was established, government policies have had a tremendous influence on the built environment. Funding priorities often determine the kinds of settings created: how many low-income housing units must be built, how many prison beds must be provided, the protection of natural landscapes, and so on. Legislation and rulings such as the Americans with Disabilities Act have had a significant impact on design decisions. More recently, issues such as energy efficient buildings and security have received much attention by builders, clients and designers, and have influenced how buildings are designed, how they are constructed, and how people use them. These same changes are also occurring in other cities and capitols around the world. Bringing edra to the arena of U.S. policymaking provides our organization with a unique opportunity to explore the nature of policy and the built environment, including:
- How past government policies have impacted the built environment;
- What policies are currently being considered that have a bearing on the built and natural environment;
- What support does the government currently provide for built environment research and how can this support be expanded and directed;
- How the emerging paradigm of evidence-based design might address national goals;
- What role should environmental design research play in the development of national policy; and how might it influence facility procurement and management;
- How should we research the effects of policy on the built environment;
- How to better use the research base and design expertise in edra to influence policy and support the use evidence-based design.
As EDRA positions itself as a more vital resource in the 21st Century, the DC conference provides an opportunity for edra to expand awareness and understanding of the relationship between design research and policy through an exposure to policy issues and policy makers.

Newcomers Guide to the EDRA Conference |
|
Through the years EDRA has evolved many conference features and conventions that may be unfamiliar to a first time attendee. A lot of value of the EDRA Conference is in your opportunity to network with people who have similar research or practice interests as your own. This guide is intended to help you get ahead of the curve and find as many networking opportunities as possible.
The purpose of this guide is to help to acquaint you - the first or second time attendee - to the EDRA conference so you can make the most of it.
WHAT ARE INTENSIVES, AND SHOULD I ARRIVE WEDNESDAY TO PARTICIPATE IN ONE?
Intensives are like regular conference paper presentations or workshops, but a small group of people will spend either half or all day on one particular topic. If there is an intensive in an area of interest to you, you definitely should attend. Here is why: this is the best way to meet people who share your deep focused research and practitioner interests. Spending all day with these people will give you a chance to get to know them, and they you. Talk to people on break; go to lunch with other Intensive participants; and by Thursday you will have made conference friends you can spend the rest of the week with.
For example, the Work Environments Intensive is about 16 years old. Several long time EDRA members met each other at this Intensive during their first conference. Those sessions have led to life long friendships and work collaborations. Jump in and allow this to happen for yourself.
SHOULD I STAY FOR THE WHOLE CONFERENCE?
Many people look to save money by arriving late or leaving early. If you arrive late, you miss the Intensives, the opening reception, and the keynote address. By the time you arrive, the conference is in full swing; others who are new to the conference have already found each other and made conference buddies. You will face a more uphill battle as a newcomer to get integrated into a group and get to know people well.
If you leave early, you miss a very full and rich day of presentations and posters on Sunday morning. We intentionally end the conference by noon on Sunday so that most people are able to find flights back home and still be at work on Monday morning.
HOW IMPORTANT IS IT FOR ME TO GO TO THE OPENING RECEPTION EVEN IF I DON'T KNOW ANYONE THERE?
The reception may seem a bit overwhelming if you don't know anyone there. But do, at the very least, try to find some other people also at their first EDRA conference and compare notes. You may also find a few people to share Wednesday evening dinner or drinks with (though there usually is a pretty good spread at this reception.)
You may well see name badges of recognizable names at the reception. Feel free to go up and introduce yourself. While everyone is an individual, the vast majority of these people will be open and friendly to you.
There will be some announcements at this reception that will inform your experience for the rest of the conference.
WHAT ARE NETWORK LUNCH MEETINGS AND SHOULD I GO?
EDRA Networks are collections of people with very similar research and practice interests who make it a point to get together every year to discuss their shared interests - and meet who is new in their own field. This - along with the Network Intensives on Wednesday - is the best place to meet people who share your interests. The Network lunch meeting is the place where you can become part of the core of the community by volunteering to take on a role with the network. This is the best place to go from being an outsider to an insider.
WHAT IF THERE ARE MULTIPLE NETWORK MEETINGS I WANT TO GO TO THAT MEET AT THE SAME TIME?
We try to locate Network meetings near one another so it is possible move from one to another. If there is a second or third Network meeting that you will miss, at least try to stop by there and make sure they put your name on their sign up sheet. Also, whether or not you make it to Network meetings, remember that you can sign up for Network membership in the member section of the EDRA website. Network membership is free - and you can join as many Networks as you like.
SO, SHOULD I BUY A BOX LUNCH THEN?
We make hotel box lunches available as a convenience for anyone attending Network meetings (and those not attending Network meetings may purchase one as well). You are not required to purchase a box lunch to attend a meeting, but doing so will save you from missing a portion of the meeting while hunting down lunch elsewhere - or from skipping lunch altogether. No, box lunches are not cheap - but we do the best we can to minimize hotel food service charges. You can purchase your box lunches during the conference registration process. If you decide after registration you wish to have a box lunch, contact the EDRA business office to see if any remain available.
I AM A STUDENT, SHOULD I GO TO THE STUDENT NETWORK MEETING?
Yes, of course. This will be a great time and place to meet other students. This year it is being held rather late in the conference, but still it will be a nice time to meet people - and a great place to find Saturday dinner companions.
EDRA has one student position on its Board of Directors.

, the incoming Student Board Member will lead this meeting. She will talk about different EDRA features geared toward students and possibilities for student networking.
Since this meeting is late in the conference, do find Janet and introduce yourself as early in the conference as possible. Also, several past student reps will be at the conference. So, if you see Susan Rowley, Meldrena Chapin, Nana Kirk, or Sally Augustin - introduce yourself to any/all of them.
They are are active members of EDRA and can answer many questions you might have.
WHAT IS THE BOOK DISPLAY?
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
from the EDRA Archive at Andrews University coordinates a wonderful display of literally hundreds of books of interest to EDRA researchers and practitioners. It is well worth blocking an hour early in the conference to browse through the display. Kathy will have order forms for most all of these books, many of them offered at a conference discount.
In additional, the book display room hosts the EDRA Book Auction. You can bid on any of several dozen books, many signed by their authors. All proceeds from this auction go to support EDRA student travel scholarships.
HOW DO I GET THE BEST VALUE OUT OF VIEWING POSTER SESSIONS?
Each poster session is an hour long. Take a look through the program ahead of time to target posters that might be of interest to you and plan your route so you can spend some time at each of them - and interact with their authors. Do bring business cards with you as you may want to ask for background research - or you may find potential research or practitioner collaborators among the poster presenters. Also, others who stop at the same posters you stop at may well have research or practitioner interests similar to your own. Don't hesitate to engage them in conversation.
Take the room at your own pace. And do take the time to walk by posters not on your initial list as you may be surprised that a method or domain could turn out to be of surprise interest to you.
I AM PRESENTING A PAPER. WHAT SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT THIS?
EDRA is a fairly friendly conference, so you should anticipate a friendly and helpful audience. If you ask people to provide feedback and suggestions after your talk, you will likely get some.
We have prepared some materials on the website here to help people design and give better paper presentations.
WHAT ARE THE TOURS? DO MOST PEOPLE GO ON THEM?
The EDRA40 Program Committee has selected five tours of particular interest to Environment and Behavior practioners and researchers. Many times these tours are uniquely sculptured for our audience. Not only will you be able to go onsite at a location of interest, but you will be bussed over and back with 35 or so other conference attendees who have selected in because they have the same interests as you. It is not uncommon for some tour participants to end up having Friday dinner together; it is not uncommon to find people with overlapping interests who you stay in touch with after the tour.
SHOULD I GO TO THE THURSDAY EVENING AWARDS RECEPTION?
Yes, of course. Not only are the Great Places Awards prestigous - the winners are being chosen from over 150 entries and will be written up in both Metropolis Magazine and PLACES Journal - but the award presentations are often fascinating to see. You will have an opportunity at the reception to interact with both the award winners and with the magazine editors. And, there is usually a very nice spread at the reception.
WHAT IS THE LUNCHEON BANQUET AND SHOULD I GO?
Traditionally EDRA has held its conference banquet on Saturday evening. This year, for the first time, we are moving the Banquet to Saturday lunch hour in order to make it an more integral part of the conference. Your banquet ticket is built into your conference registration - there is no additional charge for this lunch unless you wish to bring a guest.
The banquet will include a series of EDRA awards featuring this year's EDRA Career Award presentation.
WHAT SHOULD I DO FOR DINNER ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY?
If you have been networking all conference, you shouldn't have any trouble finding people to share dinner with on Friday and Saturday evening. EDRA tends to be a friendly and open community - although we do find that people sometimes stratify out and enjoy dinner these night with those they met at their first few EDRA conferences. So, yes, the long timers may have other plans. But there will be many other first and second time EDRA attendees also looking to socialize and Network. If you have been keeping track of faces at your Intensive, paper sessions, and Network meetings, there should be several very familiar faces by Friday who you can easily talk with.
WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE TO GET INFORMATION WHILE I AM AT THE CONFERENCE?
The EDRA registration desk is staff through the entire conference. The people at this desk will be your best source for schedule and logistical information.
SHOULD I GO TO THE EDRA MEMBERS MEETING?
The EDRA general membership meeting is on Thursday at dinner hour. It is open to everyone at the conference. This is the best place to find out about EDRA administration and long term strategic directions. The EDRA Board will lead this meeting, which usually concludes with a lively question and answer session.
I HAVE SOME IDEAS TO MAKE EDRA BETTER, WHO SHOULD I TELL?
There are several people you can talk to.

EDRA 39: Linking Differences-Defining Actions will be held May 28 to June 1, 2008 in Veracruz, Mexico. Linking Differences-Defining Actions, reveals that although we are aware of our contrasts and heterogeneity, we are also concerned with how to bridge those differences in order to begin defining actions with a shared responsibility. At this EDRA conference we will come together to explore how environmental design can be used to collaboratively solve common challenges and help to link different subcultures through implementing specific plans and devising effective local strategies.

“Transforming the World by Design” - May 27 5:30-7:00 Bob Berkebile (FAIA)
There exists an urgency today to design environments that promote sustainable, healthy and equitable places for human habitation. This sense of urgency is due to the global recognition that built places have often contributed to a degradation of the environment, which raises fundamental questions about the designer’s role in providing ethical as well as professional leadership in the research, construction and policy communities.
 A leading authority in the field of sustainable design, Bob Berkebile is the founding chairman of the American Institute of Architects’ National Committee on the Environment. He is a principal of BNIM Architects and Elements Consulting, and brings 40 years of diverse experience to the profession.

Welcome to EDRA39 in Veracruz |

The EDRA Veracruz Chapter and the Conference Organizing Committee are pleased to host the 39th Annual Meeting of the Environmental Design Research Association at the Universidad Veracruzana in Boca del Rio, Veracruz, México, May 28 â June 1, 2008. Conference registration is available here. Paper registration booklets will be mailed during the second week of March. Early Conference registration has been extended through April 11. After that, Conference registration fees increase by $50. The conference theme, Linking DifferencesâDefining Actions, reveals that although we are aware of our contrasts, we are also concerned with how to bridge those differences in order to begin defining actions with a shared responsibility. At this EDRA conference we will come together to explore how environmental design can be used to collaboratively solve common challenges and help link different subcultures through devising effective local strategies and implementation.
It is with a spirit of genuine hospitality that the EDRA Veracruz Chapter, our conference hosts, invite you to participate in EDRA39!â |

EDRA networks or chapters can sponsor, with EDRA Board permission,
regional conferences in addition to the annual EDRA conference.
These conferences provide good opportunities to draw professionals
and students together in a local area or around topics that
might interest a subset of EDRA members. The Veracruz,
Mexico chapter sponsored a regional conference
in 2001 that enabled many students who could not attend
more distant EDRA annual conferences to attend a local conference
on sustainability. As EDRA becomes more extensive in its
geographic reach, the Board encourages members to consider
forming regional chapters and sponsoring regional conferences.
