Nyhet: 2012-01-10

PhD course, June 2012

Dr. Andrea Nightingale, University of Edinburgh

A PhD course given by Chalmers University of Technology and Göteborg University in collaboration, hosted by Division of Environmental Systems Analysis, Chalmers, and School of Global Studies, GU.

Dr. Nightingale visits as guest researcher, funded by Adlerbert Research Foundation, from Institute of Geography and Environment, School of GeoSciences, University of Edinburgh, UK.

Course Description:
This course engages with ideas of environmental governance by seeking to understand the logic behind different governance mechanisms. What does it mean to ‘govern’ the environment? We will read cutting edge work in this field to compare and contrast approaches and place them within gender and climate change issues. To what extent can ideas of environmental governance capture the range of challenges presented by global inequalities and climate change? How do issues of conflict and violence complicate attempts at environmental governance? This inspiring course is a unique opportunity for Swedish PhD students to get a grip of highly relevant and on-the-agenda research topics. There are 3 sessions: (1) Environmentality and governance, (2) Property and Authority, (3) Conflict and violence
