[gep-ed] FYI: Postdoc in climate and gender

[Jessica Green]

Posting for a colleague:


Postdoctoral Research Associate Position - AY 2023-23



Yale University seeks to appoint a postdoctoral research associate for 12-16 
months, ideally starting in August or September 2022.



The position involves working on a project on gender and climate change with 
Professor Sarah Bush in collaboration with Professor Amanda Clayton at 
Vanderbilt University. This project has been supported by the National Science 
Foundation. The responsibilities will vary but are likely to include designing 
and implementing original surveys, overseeing the collection of new datasets 
drawn from political party documents and global media, conducting case studies, 
and performing data analysis.



The successful applicant will have completed a PhD, a background in political 
science or related disciplines, experience with data analysis in Stata and/or 
R, and excellent organizational skills. Experience with survey and/or 
experimental design, conducting interviews and/or focus groups, and language 
skills are also desirable.



Outside of work on the project, the postdoc will also have substantial 
opportunities to pursue their own research projects, participate in 
collaborative research, and take advantage of the intellectual life at Yale. 
There is some flexibility with the start date and remote work.



The position provides salary and benefits in line with Yale University rules. 
To apply, please submit a CV, cover letter, and list of three academic 
references at 
https://forms.gle/W5sYLWL2Lqd3Y8jn8.
 Applications will be reviewed starting on June 6th. Feel free to contact Sarah 
Bush (sarah.b...@yale.edu) and/or Amanda Clayton 
(amanda.clay...@vanderbilt.edu) with any 
questions.

Re: [gep-ed] fyi

[Jonas Schoenefeld (TYN - Visitor)]

Dear colleagues,


Thank you for this interesting debate. This has also been a significant issue 
over here in Europe, too, and I recommend the following working paper by the 
Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research on this topic:


Corinne le Quéré et al. Towards a culture of low-carbon research for the 21st 
Century<https://tyndall.ac.uk/sites/default/files/publications/twp161.pdf>


The Centre's travel strategy builds on this thinking. 
https://tyndall.ac.uk/travel-strategy


For example, it argues that individuals at different career stages may have 
different needs in terms of building networks. The "Innovations in Climate 
Governance" Research network has also attempted to put some of this thinking 
into practice: https://inogov.eu/sustainability/


Should you find yourself in Europe for conference travel, check out this 
website for traveling over here - Europe-wide train tickets: https://loco2.com/


I've done (conference/meeting) trips like Norwich/UK to Bratislava/Slovakia. 
Lots of good/undisturbed reading and working time on trains...


Sincerely,

Jonas

Re: [gep-ed] fyi

[HARRIS, Paul [SSC]]

Dear Aseem,

Here's an example, in the email below, of what I was referring to. There's 
something about this topic -- trying to limit academic flying -- that brings 
out the worst in some environmental scholars. It makes them angry (or appear to 
be). It's like talking to committed climate deniers: they are deeply offended 
when their views are critiqued in any way, and they conjure up justifications 
for maintaining the status quo. Alas, the status quo is exactly what is 
creating a global environmental catastrophe. What we need is both a drastic 
reduction in nonessential flying and lots of (real) carbon offsets. Right now, 
despite all that we know about the dangers of climate change, airline travel is 
exploding and greenhouse gas emissions are still increasing globally.

The scholar who wrote the message below believes that I'm "full of crap" when I 
suggest that we ought to stop encouraging air travel to academic conferences. 
That might be true, but if so it might also be true that the universities and 
student groups you told us about are similarly "full of crap," not to mention 
the hundreds of geographers you mention and all the unmentioned individuals and 
groups who realize that unnecessary flying ought to be curtailed. But I don't 
think that the initiatives you point to are "crap" at all. They are instead 
very positive signs. It's especially gratifying that many young people are 
committing themselves not to fly. Not for the first time, the young have 
something to teach their elders.

I think that we need to get some perspective. It's not as if good scholarly 
collaboration began with the jet age. Throughout history, great collaboration 
occurred by way of slow communications from afar. Nowadays it is possible for 
scholars to collaborate with many times the intensity of only a few decades 
ago, all without leaving their campuses. We can instantly collaborate with 
hundreds or thousands of scholars via the internet. To be sure, video 
conferencing is not the same as chatting intimately with other scholars at a 
conference hotel bar, but compared to collaboration not long ago it's 
astonishingly interactive.

What should we as individual scholars be doing, right now? I think we ought to 
be asking ourselves, in very honest and probing ways, whether our travel (the 
sorts that burn fossil fuels) is truly worth the costs for the environment and 
future persons. I wish that all of us could at least admit to ourselves that we 
may be doing something bad when we fly. (This is one sad consequence of all the 
great climate science that has been done over the last few decades: we can no 
longer live in denial that our lifestyles have far-reaching consequences.) 
Let's not forget that our climate-changing pollution is contributing to future 
suffering and death. Each flight contributes "only" a little bit to that 
suffering and death, but a little bit of suffering and death is arguably worth 
avoiding -- unless, perhaps, it is truly necessary to achieve a larger good. 
Alas, everyone who flies believes that what they are doing is justified.

Surely, if environmental scholars won't curb their air travel, neither will 
most other people. The climate deniers love to see us flying around to talk 
about climate change. Their fantasies are invigorated by just this sort of 
hypocrisy.

All the best,

Paul

I still think you’re full of crap on this, Paul. Collaboration is superior via 
camera? Please send me the empirical studies in that context. I shall wait. 
Those of us who purchase offsets certified by GHGMI can fly with confidence 
that we actually are offsetting our emissions and engendering collaboration 
that can help make things better. So if you want to feel exonerated, hope it

Wil, I don't have a solution to the conference travel problem but please -
let's not kid ourselves about offsets! As you must know, they are at best a
guarantee of *certain* emissions in exchange for very *uncertain, *hoped-for
emissions reductions or emissions prevention. They merely shift the burdens
of coping with climate change from richer, more powerful people and places
to poorer and weaker ones. Popular tropical forest offsetting (REDD+, etc.)
schemes have been particularly disastrous.

RE: [gep-ed] fyi

[Wil Burns]

So, the Swiss are pledging to not fly to venues within 240 miles or so. Most of 
us who trek, for example, from Chicago to Peoria probably already fulfill that 
pledge  And, yes, I remain wholly unconvinced that meeting people on Zoom is 
more “connective” than a happenstance discussion in the hallway at a conference 
that leads to new collaborative opportunities.

While I think it’s salutary to avoid wholly frivolous academic travel, I think 
it’s disheartening to encourage everyone to interact with their colleagues 
wholly via their smartphones. It’s a bit soul-draining, actually. Moreover, 
there are some excellent offset programs that can help us justify our (limited) 
travel to convene with our colleagues at meetings. wil

Dear Aseem,

About a decade ago I tried hard to convince scholars, including many on this 
list, that we needed to stop encouraging air travel to conferences. Even then 
technologies existed to allow collaboration online that was vastly more 
connective than face-to-face collaboration at conferences. I suffered a severe 
backlash, including ad hominem attacks (a few from members of the ISA's ESS 
section). The business model of many academic associations, not least ISA, 
demands big centralized conferences. Things are slowly starting to change, as 
you highlight in your message, but my guess is that most older scholars (over, 
say, about 40?) will continue to dig in their heels and defend their air travel 
(everyone who flies seems to think that their doing so is worth the 
environmental cost). History won't judge this behavior kindly. The future is in 
the younger scholars who are accustomed to collaborating online -- after all, 
nowadays many people collaborate using their smart phones even when those 
people are on the same campus, even in the same building, and sometimes even in 
the same room.

All best,

Paul

Hi Stacey:


Agree; we need to speak up. Universities must be leaders in climate policy and 
as scholars who study climate change, we should become role models.


I think GEP should take the lead in greening the ISA ('i'll be happy to share 
my correspondence with various organizations on this count).


Some of us may have heard of the FlyLess initiative (there is a[etition to 
universities on change.org -- pls consider signing it).


I received an email from them with the following information


(https://click.e.change.org/f/a/m6MI0hVmC7eo6yzuiw1pzQ~~/AANj1QA~/RgRfA48uP0ROaHR0cHM6Ly9hY2FkZW1pY2ZseWluZ2Jsb2cud29yZHByZXNzLmNvbS8yMDE5LzA2LzE4L3VwZGF0ZXMtb24tdmFyaW91cy1mcm9udHMvVwNzcGNCCgAeLgohXYF0JzFSF3ByYWthc2guYXNlZW1AZ21haWwuY29tWAQC):

A good classroom exercise might be for students to reframe and write a 
new story that fairly represents the underlying information by replacing 
the the authors' biased speculation and discredited narrative, and 
seeing what other conclusions might emerge.

Re: [gep-ed] fyi

[Aseem Prakash]

nce in total air travel emissions between researchers 
they characterized as “Green” (those who study topics related to environmental 
sustainability) and “Not-green.” (See Seth Wynes, Simon D. Donner, Steuart 
Tannason, Noni Nabors, “Academic air travel has a limited influence on 
professional success,” Journal of Cleaner Production, Vol. 226, No. 20, 2019: 
959-967<https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959652619311862#!>.)


Another just-published article by a team of researchers at the University of 
Adelaide studied academic air travel—also among academics at their home 
institution. The authors were particularly interested between institutional 
pressures for academics to fly and their university’s formal commitment to 
sustainability. Drawing on a one-year qualitative study, they found that, while 
many academics are worried about climate change, only a small number are 
willing to fly less for fear of damaging their careers. The authors conclude 
that institutional and political shifts are needed to bring about individual 
changes in behavior on a large scale. (See Melissa Nursey-Bray, Robert Palmer, 
Bride Meyer-Mclean, Thomas Wanner, & Cris Birzer, “The Fear of Not Flying: 
Achieving Sustainable Academic Plane Travel in Higher Education Based on 
Insights from South Australia,” Sustainability, Vol. 11, No. 9, 2019: 
2694<https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/11/9/2694>.)

"[Academics in the Northwest] must begin engaging with all people, not 
only the ones that live in cities or work in white-collar jobs."


Now, with the cliche name calling and reducing a serious issue to tired 
stereotypes taken care of, perhaps you might think about publishing 
something in the The Hill that presents a critical analysis of the 
alignment of coal country's laboring class with the Coal Bosses that 
serve as the villain in quite a bit of bluegrass music.


The social/environmental consciousness in bluegrass music that 
provides/reflects a working class identity and latent environmental 
values would reveal some interesting/troubling questions that do not 
place the blame at the feet of environmental advocates, such as myself, 
who have deep working class connections.  Just off a weekend of 
bluegrass, so an easy suggestion.  http://www.durangomeltdown.com/


If not willing to engage directly with bluegrass during research, the 
accepted convention in bluegrass is to blame the banjo player.

me pretty concerned.  In point of fact, US working class people continue to mostly vote 
for the candidates with stronger enviro positions. The white ones do so in lower 
proportions than the non-white ones, I'll grant. But this may be more than in incidental 
detail...
Is it up to environmentalists alone to change the discourses in places like 
West Virginia, when nearly every candidate in both political parties is mostly 
lying outright to the voters about climate, energy and other such concerns?  
Where major employers and most of the business community does that same?  Help 
me understand how environmentalists ideas about dying coal communities change 
that narrative.

And do we have any expectations at all of public servants and elected officials, in this 
regard?  This piece is published in The Hill.  It pretty clearly suggests to its 
DC/Capitol Hill readers that the failure of environmentalism/ists is responsible for the 
current state of climate and energy politics in the US. Really? This, it seems to me, is 
the most worrying (and likely empirically incorrect) argument to make to "the 
hill" -- where a lot of naked corruption is, in my view, quite a bit more 
responsible for the state of US climate politics than is environmentalists failure to 
somehow solve the problem of coal communities' decline.

In my view, "The Hill" and how it works and whose interests are well represented are the 
locus of responsibility for the state of US climate and energy politics.  I doubt TheHill wants to 
publish that argument, but I don't see how a bunch of environmentalists responding to your call for 
ideas about how to connect to blue collar workers changes anything on "the Hill."  How 
represented and supported do these blue collar workers feel, when they look at The Hill now?  I do 
fear that this sort of piece suggests that the policy makers who read the hill should blame 
environmentalists for their own failures.
