6th Annual Duck Family Graduate Workshop in Environmental Politics and Governance University of Washington, Seattle May 13-15, 2020 On May 13-15, 2020, University of Washington’s Center for Environmental Politics will organize the 6th annual Duck Family Graduate Workshop for doctoral students working in the area of environmental politics and governance (EPG). This follows on the successful workshops that the Center hosted in previous years (https://depts.washington.edu/envirpol/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/CEP-Workshop-Program0514.pdf) The EPG Grad workshop provides a venue for doctoral students to present their work, receive feedback, and network with others working on similar issues. Objective: Why the workshop? Understanding the governance and political aspects of environmental issues is critical for addressing the gamut of environmental challenges. The politics of governance perhaps has become an even more critical factor in the changed political milieu. The multi-disciplinary nature of EPG research often makes it hard to share ideas, concepts, and research methods across relevant disciplines. We hope the annual Duck Family Graduate Workshop will help overcome these barriers and provide a multi-disciplinary venue for doctoral students to become active participants in the community of EPG scholars. Expenses: There are no workshop fees and the Center will pay for local expenses, namely each participant’s food and shared hotel lodging (with two participants per room) for three nights, May 13, 14, and 15. Participants are responsible for travel expenses. The Center will, however, purchase carbon offsets for all. Application Logistics: This workshop will be most useful for doctoral students who have made substantial progress in their graduate studies: that is, they are able to present a fully developed paper or a chapter from their dissertation. The students need to submit: - an abstract (about 800 – 1,000 words) of a paper/dissertation chapter to be emailed to <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> (and copy Christianna Parr, <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>). - a letter of support from their graduate advisor to be emailed to <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> (and copy Christianna Parr, <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>) The deadline for submission is February 14, 2020. Timeline: * February 14-28, 2020: Center faculty evaluate the proposals. * March 1, 2020: Participants are formally invited. * May 5, 2020: Participants email their papers to <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> (and copy Christianna Parr, [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>), details to follow. * Wednesday, May 13, 2020: Participants arrive; Career and Job Market Panel (Walker-Ames Room) in the afternoon followed by the Welcome dinner. * Thursday, May 14, 2020: Full day Workshop in the Smith Room (Suzallo Library, University of Washington, Seattle) followed by dinner. * Friday, May 15, 2020: Full day Workshop in the Smith Room (Suzallo Library, University of Washington, Seattle) followed by dinner. * Saturday, May 16, 2020: Departure.
