[gep-ed] Fwd: [switzerfellows] Fwd: Deadlines are soon! Paid Summer Research in STEM

[Kimberly R. Marion Suiseeya]

Dear GEP colleagues,

this is an excellent resource for underrepresented students (undergrad and
grad) to help find paid summer STEM internships. Please pass on as
appropriate to your students.

Best,

Kim




*



Deadlines are rapidly approaching!  Use our searchable database of programs
at PathwaysToScience.org to find and apply to STEM paid summer research
programs over winter break.



Our database has over 650 paid summer research programs, including programs
for both undergraduate and graduate students.  60 programs have deadlines
in the next 45 days!



https://pathwaystoscience.org/index.aspx



Use our advanced search feature to filter by discipline, level of study,
citizenship status, and more.



https://pathwaystoscience.org/programs.aspx?adv=adv



If you need help finding a program, please email me with your level of
study and disciplinary interests and I would be happy to help.



Thank you and have a wonderful winter break.



Sincerely,



Liv

[gep-ed] Teaching Resource: MDB database on claims to their accountability mechanisms for env harm

[Susan Park]

Dear all,

This may be of use for your classes. I've just published a database of all of 
the (known) claims submitted to the MDBs from 1994-2016 on my website: 
https://susanmpark.com/accountability-of-the-multilateral-development-banks

Covering the World Bank, World Bank Group, Asian, African, Inter-American 
Development Banks and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development the 
database is searchable by Bank, country, year, project, environmental and 
social policy (broadly categorized), and whether the communities'claim was 
accepted/rejected, whether it went to mediation or not, whether mediation was 
undertaken (and why not), whether a compliance investigation of Bank-caused 
harm was undertaken, and if the Banks were found non-compliant, and if 
non-compliance was followed by monitoring by the Bank to review its compliance.

Hopefully it can be used by your students for trying to examine the benefits 
(or not) for communities to use the accountability mechanisms of the MDBs to 
address their grievances. There is a 'read-me file' for how to use the database 
on the website, as well as the links to the MDB accountability mechanism public 
registries.

Best,
Susan

[gep-ed] Simulations and games on climate change action

[Simon Dalby]

Folks:

I have a sneaking suspicion this is a duplication of an earlier request,
but a search of the GEP-ED archive isn't revealing a thread on the theme so


I've been chatting with a couple of colleagues (Wayne Morris and Scott
Nicholson), who are involved with local community activities, and the game
design programs at Wilfrid Laurier, about simulation exercises designed to
engage people in climate action. How do local communities think through
their own activities but then, forgive the cliche, "take it to the next
level", either from municipalities up to national governments, or to larger
scale activities?

Our assumption is that there are at least some such simulation exercises
going the rounds, but it would be very helpful if you could let us know of
ones you know of, or have used, whether in teaching or community
activities.

As per usual practice on this list-serve please send me the response, not
to the whole group, and I will compile the answers and post them as a
single message a few weeks hence. However it would really help if you could
also copy my two colleagues on your message to me: fmor...@wlu.ca,
scott.nichol...@wlu.ca

(The backdrop to this is of course the new provincial government in
Ontario, with Premier Doug Ford who seems to be determined to replicate the
Trump playbook on demolishing regulations of anything environmental,
regardless of the consequences. Years of hard work by environmental and
climate activists are being rapidly undone by the Ford government and
effective responses are urgently needed.)

Thanks in advance.

Simon

[gep-ed] Rewilding

Hi Gepers,

A number of weeks ago, I asked the community about references for work on the 
concept of “rewilding.”  As usual, our colleagues have come through with great 
suggestions.  Here is an accumulative list of the references I received.  
Thanks so much to all who replied.

[gep-ed] A poor future for Brazil in Global Environmental Governance?

[Larissa Basso]

Dear all,

now that the Brazilian elected President has chosen all members of his

Brasília) and I about the future of Brazil in Global Environmental 
Governance:

"A poor future for Brazil in Global Environmental Governance?" 


We hope it's of interest and welcome your comments.
