3rd Annual Duck Family Graduate Workshop
in Environmental Politics and Governance
May 17-19, 2017
Center for Environmental Politics
University of Washington, Seattle
____________________________________________________________________________________
On May 17-19, 2017, University of Washington's Center for Environmental
Politics (http://depts.washington.edu/envirpol/) will organize the 3rd annual
Duck Family Graduate Workshop for social science doctoral students working in
the area of environmental politics and governance (EPG). This follows on the
highly successful workshops that the Center hosted in 2015 and 2016.
This workshop will provide a venue for doctoral students to present their work,
receive feedback, and network with others working on similar issues. We will
invite select faculty from University of Washington and other universities to
serve as resource persons.
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 the
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 participants in the community of emerging social
science scholars working in the EPG area.
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 17, 18, and 19. Participants are responsible for
travel expenses.
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 that includes empirical analyses.
The applicants should send:
- an abstract (about 800 - 1,000 words) of a paper or dissertation
prospectus;
- a letter of support from their graduate advisor.
Applicants should upload the above material on the link "Grad Workshop"
available on the center's website:
<http://depts.washington.edu/envirpol/?page_id=1229>.
The deadline for submission is February 15, 2017.
Timeline:
1. February 15-28, 2017: the Center faculty evaluate the proposals.
2. March 1, 2017: Participants are formally invited.
3. May 5, 2017: Participants email their papers to <
