Human-Elephant Relationships in Southeast Asia Symposium

This symposium will bring together researchers, conservationists, and students from across disciplines—including history, anthropology, conservation biology, and psychology—to explore new interdisciplinary approaches to promoting coexistence between humans and the endangered Asian elephant.

Experts on historical and cultural perspectives of human–elephant relationships, elephant biology and psychology, elephants in tourism and transportation, and human–elephant conflict will examine the future of human–elephant coexistence through a series of presentations and discussions at the CUNY Graduate Center.
