Briefing: Welcome to the first Oxford Interdisciplinary Desert Conference bringing together UK researchers interested in dryland people and environments. The goal is to stimulate debate and collaboration across academic departments, share knowledge and expand desert paradigms. With the theme of 'Integrating Research, Expanding Knowledge' we look forward to papers and discussion that bring together the different approaches and perspectives applied to desert research. This meeting highlights the multiple disciplines that work in desert environments and presents original research combinations through including social and natural scientists working in shared topics or environments in different dimensions and timecales. We look forward to session presentations in fields from Archaeology and Geography through History, Development and Zoology. One section will feature desert perspectives beyond academia to present the NGO / business / government view that makes use of and funds academic study and can have major dryland impacts.

Briefing: The theme of the Inaugural Asian Conference on the Social Sciences is 'East Meets West. For more than a decade, sustainability has emerged a global issue for business and industry, government, and academia. Historically, sustainability has been associated with environmental concerns such as the energy crisis and global warming. Today, however, it is recognized that social/economic justice is equally important to achieving a sustainable future. Thus, issues such as poverty, hunger, education, health care, and access to markets should be a part of the evolution of any comprehensive sustainability paradigm. The conference will address these various dimensions of human sustainability.
