GNHRE-UNEP Summer/Winter School: Critical Perspectives in Human Rights and the Environment

[Gellers, Joshua]

Colleagues:

 

The Global Network for Human Rights and the Environment (GNHRE) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) are delighted to invite you to participate in their first online Summer/Winter School, which will take place in the week 21-25 June 2021.

 

This year's Summer/Winter School is on the theme “Critical Perspectives in Human Rights and the Environment” and features more than 30 leading experts, practitioners and scholars presenting 14 classes over 5 days. The classes explore a wide range of fascinating and critical topics related to environmental and human rights, including decolonisation, pandemic, crime, children as political actors, artificial intelligence, climate change, participation, the rule of law, resistance, business, human dignity, and human rights in the marine environment. Participants will have an opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of many of the most pressing issues of our time, discover and engage with the latest research, and participate in discussions and debates.

 

Registration for all classes is available here.

 

The Summer/Winter school programme includes a Work-In-Progress (WIP) Seminar which will take place on 22 June. We welcome all graduate students and junior scholars working on human rights and the environment to give a ten minute presentation of their work in the WIP. This is both an opportunity to get feedback from peers and established scholars, and to meet and engage with scholars working across the globe. If you are interested in participating in the WIP, please send a brief biography and 150 word abstract to Astrid Bernal at gnhrew...@gmail.com. Please note: we only require an abstract and biography for the WIP.
