Dear all,
After a COVID19 hiatus, we are back to organizing our annual Wageningen Political Ecology PhD school, this year in the European spring from 3-7 April 2023. The theme this year is: The Natures of Life and Death: Political Ecologies of Collapse, Transformation and Revival. We are very excited that Prof Kate Rigby (Un of Cologne) and Prof Maria Kaika (Un of Amsterdam) will be giving guest seminars, and together with fantastic Wageningen University political ecology colleagues deliver an intensive political ecology deep-dive.
The spring school will give motivated PhD students the chance to deepen their knowledge on diverse political ecological approaches to contemporary environmental crises, strategies for conservation and environmentalism in response to the crises, and the broader processes of transformation these are part of.
We hope this message reaches many PhD students. For more information: https://www.wur.nl/en/activity/the-natures-of-life-and-death-political-ecologies-of-collapse-transformation-and-revival-4-ects.htm.
Best wishes,
Bram
