Graduate Perspectives from Australia, China, and the US March 3-4 2010, Harvard University.
This Conference will bring together 40 graduate students from Australia, China, and the US - leaders of the next generation - to present their global perspectives on climate and climate change from three very different national bases. The Conference aims to highlight research work that displays genuine disciplinary crossover. Science students and Humanities/Social Science students will exchange research ideas, crossing disciplines, cultures, and continents.
From James Lovelock's Gaia thesis, to Tim Flannery's historical and ecological work, global discussion on climate and climate change spans humanities and science. And it often refers to the needs and perspectives of future generations. A total of 40 top students will be selected from the three nations, whose research approach and/or object of inquiry links humanities and science in innovative ways. Half the participants will be from humanities/social science disciplines, and half from the sciences.
Co-sponsored by the Go8, the Harvard Committee on Australian Studies, and the Consortium of China 9 Research Universities (C9). Convened by Professor Alison Bashford, Harvard Chair of Australian Studies, 09/10.
