4th annual Duck Family Graduate Workshop
University of Washington, Seattle
May 16-18, 2018
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


On May 16-18, 2018, University of Washington’s Center for Environmental 
Politics will organize the 4th annual Duck Family Graduate Workshop for 
doctoral students working in the area of environmental politics and governance 
(EPG). This follows on the highly successful workshop that the Center hosted in 
2015, 2016, and 2017 
(http://depts.washington.edu/envirpol/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Brochure_2017_compressed.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. We 
will invite select faculty from the 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 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 16, 17, and 18.

Participants are responsible for travel expenses.
