Environmental Demography Graduate Student Workshop University of Colorado Population Center May 12-13, 2014 With support from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute for Child Health and Development, the University of Colorado Population Center is offering a 2-day research workshop in Environmental Demography for current graduate students. Environmental Demography represents a dynamic area of demographic research and includes topics of tremendous policy importance particularly in the context of contemporary environmental change. The workshop’s primary goal is to assist students in moving research papers toward completion and, eventually, publication. We aim to provide encouragement and mentoring for this emerging generation of population-environment scholars. The workshop, led by 3 University of Colorado Boulder faculty, will include an overview of the sub-discipline, but will be focused on student research through presentations, discussion, brainstorming and feedback. We will also spend time discussing future directions and possibilities for new collaborative research. Lori Hunter – Editor-in-Chief of Population & Environment – will lead a discussion on the peer-review process and strategies for publication. A maximum of 10 students will be selected for participation. To apply, please submit a letter of application describing your research interests, experience, professional ambitions and year in your graduate program. A complete, nearly complete, or preliminary research manuscript is also required – and will form the basis of your contribution to the research workshop. Very early research ideas are not appropriate for the workshop as we aim to grapple with projects at least partially underway, for example with preliminary data analyses. Please also include the names and contact information for two individuals that could act as references. Selected students will receive $500 toward travel and accommodation. Decisions will be based on application letters, manuscripts and the desire to create a group of participants with shared interests and the ability to complement each other’s strengths. Complete application materials are due Friday, March 14th and decisions will be made by Tuesday, March 25th. Please submit application materials to [email protected]. Questions regarding the workshop can be directed to [email protected]
