9th Annual Duck Family Graduate Workshop in Environmental Politics and Governance University of Washington, Seattle
May 10-12, 2023 On May 10-12, 2023, the University of Washington’s Center for Environmental Politics<https://envirpol.org/> will organize the 9th annual Duck Family Graduate Workshop (in-person) for doctoral students working in the area of environmental politics and governance (EPG). This follows the successful workshops that the Center hosted in previous years (see here<https://epgnetwork.org/grad-workshop/>). 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. It will also provide a venue for doctoral students to network with others working on similar issues. 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 10, 11, and 12. Participants are responsible for travel expenses. The Center will, however, purchase (very credible) 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 is to be emailed to <envir...@uw.edu> (and copy Meagan Carmack <mcarm...@uw.edu>). A letter of support from their graduate advisor is to be emailed to <envir...@uw.edu> (and copy Meagan Carmack <mcarm...@uw.edu>). The deadline for submission is February 27, 2023. Timeline: March 1-7, 2023: Center faculty evaluate the proposals. March 7, 2023: Participants are formally invited. May 1, 2023: Participants email their papers to <envir...@uw.edu> (and copy Meagan Carmack, <mcarm...@uw.edu>), details to follow. Wednesday, May 10, 2023: Participants arrive; Career and Job Market Panel (Walker-Ames Room) in the afternoon followed by the Welcome dinner. Thursday and Friday, May 11 and 12, 2023: Full-day Workshop in Smith Room (Suzallo Library, University of Washington, Seattle) followed by dinner. Saturday, May 13, 2023: Departure. The Center for Environmental Politics is excited to organize this unique event focused on furthering graduate training and education.
