7th Annual Duck Family Graduate Workshop in Environmental Politics and Governance University of Washington, Seattle May 13-14, 2021 (ONLINE) On May 13-14, 2021, University of Washington’s Center for Environmental Politics will organize the 7th 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/2020/05/Updated-Duck-Family-Workshop-Brochure-2020.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. 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 <envir...@uw.edu<mailto:envir...@uw.edu>> (and copy Jeffrey Grove, <jgrov...@uw.edu<mailto:cparr...@uw.edu>>). - a letter of support from their graduate advisor to be emailed to <envir...@uw.edu<mailto:envir...@uw.edu>> (and copy Jeffrey Grove, <jgrov...@uw.edu<mailto:cparr...@uw.edu>>) The deadline for submission is February 19, 2021. Timeline: February 19-26, 2021: Center faculty evaluate the proposals. March 1, 2021: Participants are formally invited. May 4, 2021: Participants email their papers to <envir...@uw.edu<mailto:envir...@uw.edu>> (and copy Jeffrey Grove, jgrov...@uw.edu<mailto:cparr...@uw.edu>), details to follow.
