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 mailto:envir...@uw.edu>> (and copy Jeffrey Grove, 
mailto:cparr...@uw.edu>>).

- a letter of support from their graduate advisor to be emailed to 
mailto:envir...@uw.edu>> (and copy Jeffrey Grove, 
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 
mailto:envir...@uw.edu>> (and copy Jeffrey Grove, 
jgrov...@uw.edu), details to follow.

Thursday, May 13, 2021: Welcome message and first day of Workshop, Online via 
Zoom link.

Friday, May 14, 2021: Second full day of Workshop, Online via Zoom link.



The Center for Environmental Politics is excited to organize this unique event 
focused on furthering graduate training and education. Should you have any 
questions, feel free to email Aseem Prakash (as...@uw.edu) 
or Jeffrey Grove (jgrov...@uw.edu).

[gep-ed] Earth System Governance Project: Upcoming Webinar & Call for Papers - 2021 Bratislava Conference on Earth System Governance

[Thungren, G.O. (Gustav)]

Dear colleagues,
We welcome you to engage with the Earth System Governance community through an 
upcoming webinar and to submit your work and ideas for the 2021 Bratislava 
Conference on Earth System Governance:
---
'Earth System Law as a legal paradigm for the Anthropocene' - ESG Speaker Series
Zoom Webinar, 4th February, 16.00-17:30 (UTC+1)  - register 
here.
In this first virtual ESG Speaker Series, titled 'Earth System Law as a legal 
paradigm for the Anthropocene', we explore how the deepening socio-ecological 
crisis of the Anthropocene can be addressed from a legal perspective.
The notion of the Anthropocene has gained prominence in the last decade, 
highlighting the fundamental impact of humans on the planet and trajectories of 
an intensifying socio-ecological crisis. In this Webinar, Prof. Louis Kotzé and 
Dr. Rakhyun E. Kim argue that International Environmental Law has become 
unsuitable for governing the Anthropocene: analytically it is unable to respond 
to complex earth system governance challenges; it does not offer appropriate 
norms to prevent earth system decay; and it is not ambitious enough to achieve 
necessary radical transformations.
These deficiencies of International Environmental Law has led scholars of the 
Earth System Governance to propose an alternative future pathway for law in the 
Anthropocene: Earth System Law.
This session will first introduce the concept of Earth System Law by Prof. 
Louis Kotzé and Dr. Rakhyun E. Kim. Thereafter, an invited critique of the 
proposed paradigm is offered according to its analytical, normative and 
transformative dimensions, by Research Fellows Laura Mai, Dr. Marie Petersmann 
and Emily Webster. Lastly, the audience are invited for discussion and 
question-and-answer before concluding the 90 minute session.
