Global Environmental Justice Conference
Emerging Scholars
Supported by The Graciela Chichilnisky Environmental Fund in Honor of Natasha Chichilnisky-Heal.
In 2019, the inaugural Global Environmental Justice Conference at the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, supported by the The Graciela Chichilnisky Environmental Fund in Honor of Natasha Chichilnisky-Heal, will explore pressing topics including extractive industries and human rights, environmental governance, adaptation in response to climate change, and engaging with multiple knowledge systems.
This conference honors the intellectual legacy and memory of Natasha Chichilnisky-Heal, a young scholar concerned with natural resource management and global environmental inequities. To produce a rich and stimulating dialogue and foster emerging scholarship, we will be breaking many of the standard norms of academic conferences. In order to more fully explore the relationship of scholarship and the practice of environmental management, we welcome participation from across disciplines, including anthropology, climate science, epidemiology, geography, sociology, history, and others.
