Overview
The 2021 Early Career Dialogues is designed to function as a virtual workshop for early career researchers working on earth system governance, with an impetus on providing meaningful interactions and facilitating learning from multiple perspectives and diverse contexts. Early career is defined as a PhD-student or researcher who has received their PhD within 5 years prior to theevent. The Early Career Dialogues aim to:
- build participants’ knowledge of key concepts and debates in earth system governance, from diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives;
- introduce participants to the Earth System Governance project and to fellow researchers in its global community;
- advance and build upon ideas, discussions and insights from the 2021 Bratislava Conference;
- critically reflect on the Earth System Governance project’s Science and Implementation Plan and explore how themes and ideas in the plan could enrich participants’ research, teaching and broader societal outreach.
The Early Career Dialogues seeks to build upon and advance key conversations and insights of the 2021 Bratislava Conference on Earth System Governance. Both events are guided by the five analytical lenses structuring the earth system governance research agenda, as captured in the 2018 Science and Implementation Plan; and a sixth stream focusing on specific issues and challenges concerning the current moment of crisis, contestation, and calls for action across the globe.
The 2021 Early Career Dialogues will have a particular focus on pathways for Just and Green Recovery, given its critical importance in understanding the direct and indirect drivers of socio-environmental problems including behavior, politics, and wider economic systems.
Dialogues Format:
The 2021 Early Career Dialogues is organized across two days.
The programme will be built with global attendance in mind, although aligned with Central European Summer Time for organizational purposes. Each day, joint lecture sessions for all participants will be provided by invited senior scholars of the Earth System Governance Project. These will occur in the midst of the day to allow for participation of a wide array of geographies and delve further into theoretical and methodological debates on earth system governance.
The joint lectures will be accompanied by interaction-oriented sessions wherein participants will be given the ability to reflect on the lecture material, connect with their peers, as well as to present and receive feedback on their own research. These sessions are held in the European morning and afternoon. Morning and afternoon sessions will be pre-distributed in groups depending on your selected time-zone.
