European Consortium for Political Research (ECPR) and Keele University
PhD Summer School on Environmental Politics and Policy
17-28 June 2013 at Keele University, United Kingdom ST5 5BG
This will be the sixth occasion that the ECPR’s Environmental Politics Standing Group has run a Summer School. The previous Schools were at Keele in 2001, Lulea in 2002, and Keele again in 2006, 2008 and 2010.
The aim of the Summer School is to give 20 PhD students, or new postdoctoral researchers, working in the field of environmental politics and policy the opportunity to network and to discuss their research with colleagues from other universities and research institutes.
Teaching is organised across five broad themes:
– Green political theory
– International relations of the environment
– Environment and global political economy
– Green movements and parties
– Public policy and the environment
Ten taught sessions will be given by leading academics from European universities.
Confirmed speakers (to date) include Andrew Dobson, Marcel Wissenburg, Jenny Pickerill, Andrew Jordan, John Vogler,Chukwumerije Okereke, Christopher Bailey, Hayley Stevenson, and Paul Lucardie.
The programme is still being developed and will be posted on website in February.
