Dear Colleagues and Friends:
This month I began a new job at the McCormack Graduate School of Policy <http://www.mccormack.umb.edu/> Studies at the University of Massachusetts in Boston. I was hired in the Department of Conflict Resolution, Human Security and Global Governance with the explicit task to work with my senior colleague Craig Murphy (who also just joined the department) and with faculty across the university on creating a new, transdisciplinary PhD program in Global Governance and Human Security. It is an exciting new task that takes me beyond the environmental focus to a broader human security dimension, including economic welfare, social welfare, environmental integrity, and human rights. I will continue to lead the Global Environmental Governance <http://www.environmentalgovernance.org/> Project, which will now have a permanent institutional base in Boston, in close collaboration with the team at the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy. The coming months will be busy and fulfilling as we provide input to the ministerial consultations on international environmental governance reform, engage in the production of the Global Environment Outlook (GEO-5), and prepare for the UN Conference on Sustainable Development in 2012. My new contact information is below and I would be delighted to hear from you with any suggestions and ideas on human security, global environmental governance and sustainability. With warmest regards, Maria Maria Ivanova, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Global Governance Department of Conflict Resolution, Human Security and Global Governance McCormack Graduate School of Policy Studies University of Massachusetts Boston 100 Morrissey Blvd., Boston MA 02125-3393 phone: +1 617 287 7263 mobile: +1 203 606 4640 [email protected] http://www.disres.umb.edu/Ivanova.php Director, Global Environmental Governance Project Yale Center for Environmental Law & Policy <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] <http://environmentalgovernance.org/> http://www.environmentalgovernance.org
