*New* Register Now: Northwest Evolution, Ecology, and Human Behavior Symposium (NWEEHB) (01/16/26)

Register by January 16 for the 9th Northwest Evolution, Ecology, and Human Behavior Symposium (NWEEHB) to be held February 27 – March 1 @ UW Pack Forest! Open to all!

What is NWEEHB? 

NWEEHB is an intimate weekend seminar held every other year, bringing together anthropology and archaeology faculty, researchers, and students working broadly in areas of human behavior, evolution, and ecology. The weekend is structured around networking events and in-depth talks with ample time for discussion. Past symposiums have been held at Boise State University and WSU Pullman. This year’s symposium is supported by the UW Center for Studies in Demography & Ecology, the eScience Institute, and the Department of Anthropology. Our plenary speakers are Brooke Scelza (UCLA) and Adam Rorabaugh (Simon Fraser)

Register and submit an (optional) abstract here. The form will ask you about attendance dates, meals, transportation info, and other event preferences. No registration fees are due at this time. Final costs will be determined after registration forms are collected, but are estimated at $155 for students and $270 for non-students for the full weekend (includes all meals and lodging). Additional details in the form. See a tentative schedule of events below.

Use the same form to submit an abstract for the Friday night student poster session (grad and undergrad) or Saturday podium talks (senior grad students, postdocs, faculty, research scientists). Podium talks are 20 minutes. Presenters will have a chance to edit abstracts before the final program is published.

Please register before Jan 16th. We will send out abstract acceptances and additional instructions for registration credit card payments via a secure UW portal later this month.
