9th Annual Duck Family Graduate Workshop
in Environmental Politics and Governance
University of Washington, Seattle
May 10-12, 2023
On May 10-12, 2023, the University of Washington’s Center for Environmental
Politics<https://envirpol.org/> will organize the 9th annual Duck Family
Graduate Workshop (in-person) for doctoral students working in the area of
environmental politics and governance (EPG). This follows the successful
workshops that the Center hosted in previous years (see
here<https://epgnetwork.org/grad-workshop/>).
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. It will also provide a venue for doctoral students to network with
others working on similar issues.
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 10, 11, and 12. Participants are responsible for
travel expenses. The Center will, however, purchase (very credible) carbon
offsets for all.
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 or a chapter from their dissertation. The
students need to submit:
An abstract (about 800 – 1,000 words) of a paper/dissertation chapter is to be
emailed to <envir...@uw.edu> (and copy Meagan Carmack <mcarm...@uw.edu>).
A letter of support from their graduate advisor is to be emailed to
<envir...@uw.edu> (and copy Meagan Carmack <mcarm...@uw.edu>).
The deadline for submission is February 27, 2023.
Timeline:
March 1-7, 2023: Center faculty evaluate the proposals.
March 7, 2023: Participants are formally invited.
May 1, 2023: Participants email their papers to <envir...@uw.edu> (and copy
Meagan Carmack, <mcarm...@uw.edu>), details to follow.
Wednesday, May 10, 2023: Participants arrive; Career and Job Market Panel
(Walker-Ames Room) in the afternoon followed by the Welcome dinner.
Thursday and Friday, May 11 and 12, 2023: Full-day Workshop in Smith Room
(Suzallo Library, University of Washington, Seattle) followed by dinner.

The Center for Environmental Politics is excited to organize this unique event
focused on furthering graduate training and education. Should you have any
questions, feel free to email Aseem Prakash (<as...@uw.edu>) or Meagan Carmack
(<mcarm...@uw.edu>).
