Hello all, As usual I am impressed by the rapid response of the group. Thanks so much for all the suggestions, which are consolidated below for the list-serve. I will pass them on to Lauren as well.
Thanks again, dgwebster From: ** <[email protected]> Date: Tue, Sep 7, 2010 at 9:41 PM To: [email protected] Hi, DG, The Department of Environmental Science, Policy & Management at UCB is one such place. We have a strong EJ component and Kate O'Neill and myself, for instance, provide international input.

There are a number of people in MSU's School of Criminal Justice who work on environmental justice, and I am working with them on electronic waste regulation. As for international agreements and local people, I am doing a lot in that area these days (in India) but don't have funding at the moment to support additional students. Nonetheless, happy to chat with her if that helps.

We are an interdisciplinary program and we have anthropologists on board as well as myself who is interested in the effectiveness of international environmental agreements. If she's interested, ask her to email me ([email protected]). best, Gabriela -- Associate Professor Department of Political Science and Division of Global Affairs Rutgers Newark 360 MLK Blvd Newark NJ 07102 USA Telephone 973 353 5126 Email [email protected] ---------- From: *J Couey* <[email protected]> Date: Tue, Sep 7, 2010 at 11:12 PM To: [email protected] Hello Dr. Webster, I do have one recommendation (although suspect, given that I am in it right now!) - the PhD program at Center for Energy & Environmental Policy at the University of Delaware. There are several of us in this program that follow gep-ed, so forgive me if you get more than one response. Here is the home page for the center: http://ceep.udel.edu/ceep.html Then information directed towards a degree on Environmental Justice: http://ceep.udel.edu/ej/gstudy/index.html The center has 70-80 graduate students currently (500+ alumni since 1980), with now 20 or so undergraduates as of the 2nd year of the undergrad program. Thus, it is a dynamic group covering all disciplines in searching for policies that address social & ecological justice, sustainability, democracy, and a space for critical social inquiry. I think for an example of the type of research and the articles published, I would direct her toward Byrne, J., L. Glover, & C. Martinez, 2002. “The production of unequal nature,” in *Environmental Justice: Discourses in International Political Economy*, v8. New Brunswick NJ, Transaction Publishers: 261-291. http://ceep.udel.edu/publications/ej/publications/2002_ej_production_unequal_nature.pdf As she will see from looking around on the webpage, there are many other articles available, but as a last example I offer my own story. With both a BS & MS in mechanical engineering plus 6 years of industry experience, I am now doing a dissertation titled: "The Ethical Persuasion of Commons Approaches" that should illustrate how the program excels at helping people find a research area where they can work to address how too often in the modern era, "efficiency is a fact, and justice is a slogan" - Jacques Ellul, 1964. Feel free to pass on my contact information to her if you wish.

She could apply for an interdisciplinary PhD or an Anthropology PhD. The program combines social and natural sciences and provides good opportunities for students to tailor their programs toward the academic and/or the "practical." Best, Jonathan -- Jonathan Rosenberg, PhD Professor of Political Science University of Alaska Fairbanks Fairbanks, AK 99775-6420 tel. 907-474-6502 ---------- From: ** <[email protected]> Date: Wed, Sep 8, 2010 at 6:48 AM To: [email protected] Hi DG, I'm not convinced she needs a PhD. She should certainly look at our two MA programs at the School of International Service at American University. One is in Global Environmental Policy, the other is our dual degree with UPEACE in Costa Rica, Natural Resources and Sustainable Development. We have had many research projects on the topic below.
