The 2018 SMA Conference is looking for student volunteers to assist with various logistical matters throughout the conference April 3rd and 4th. Students would assist in directing people to the graduate poster session room, help out at the registration desk, hand out booklets, etc. Students would be welcome to attend panel discussions or presentations throughout the conference when they're support isn't needed.
THEME:
This Conference will assess what today we rightly or wrongly perceive as historically unprecedented changes from the perspectives of politics and history, sociology, biology, information science, and technological innovation. There is a large body of scientific work that supports the notion that human societies are complex adaptive systems with emergent properties that contain core commonalities, but the actions of which cannot be predicted with certainty. Given the properties of human cognition and social behavior, the question remains: How might nations and societies best position themselves to prepare for and manage the risks associated with rapid change under conditions of fundamental uncertainty? Conference speakers and panelists will address these issues relevant to key domains and dimensions of global security.
Please email Eva Coll (escoll@umd.edu) if interested!
