6th
Annual Duck Family Graduate Workshop in Environmental Politics and Governance
University
of Washington, Seattle
May
13-15, 2020
On
May 13-15, 2020, University of Washington’s Center for Environmental Politics will organize the 6th 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/2019/05/CEP-Workshop-Program0514.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.
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 13, 14, and 15.
Participants
are responsible for travel expenses. The
Center will, however, purchase carbon offsets for all.
Application
Logistics:

workshop will be most useful for doctoral students who have made substantial
