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:
