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, Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies and Geography
