Rockefeller Center-sponsored workshops encourage faculty members with a common interest in a particular policy issue to engage in research-based policy discussions on a regular basis. These sessions bring a variety of disciplinary perspectives to bear on a particular problem and foster a broader understanding of the theoretical and methodological issues involved in understanding the problem. The workshops are usually held from noon to 1:30 p.m. in the Class of 1930 Room. See the Rockefeller Center calendar for a complete listing of Upcoming Faculty Workshops.

The Environment and Development Workshop provides an interdisciplinary forum devoted to issues related to the interaction between human development and the environment. Since the environment is strongly influenced by the course of development worldwide, understanding changes to the global environment therefore requires an investigation of the social, political, economic, and cultural factors driving development. This workshop draws from various disciplinary backgrounds to advance knowledge in this important research area.
The Workshop invites prominent non-Dartmouth researchers and practitioners from a wide variety of fields (including anthropology, economics, geography, government, history, law and sociology) to present their work to Dartmouth faculty in an open, seminar-style forum designed to provoke thoughtful discussion. Recent Workshop themes include: resource management and conservation; environmental history; environment and trade; and environmental policy.
Convened by: Christopher Sneddon, Associate Professor, Environmental Studies Program and Geography, and Sharlene L. Mollett, Assistant Professor of Geography.
