Sustainability Science Fellows Seminar

Tuesdays, 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM

The weekly Sustainability Science Seminar serves as a forum for fellows in the Sustainability Science Program to present research plans and work in progress, providing opportunities for shaping proposals, critiquing ongoing research, and giving and receiving constructive peer review. The seminar, as the Program itself, considers work that explores basic understanding of the dynamics of human-environment systems; facilitates the design, implementation, and evaluation of practical interventions that promote sustainability in particular places and contexts; and improves linkages between relevant research and innovation communities on the one hand, and relevant policy and management communities on the other. Graduate students, fellows, research staff, and faculty are invited to join the seminar.

Frontiers in Sustainable Development Speaker Series

Schedule varies

Sustainable development has emerged, in the words of former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, as one of the three great challenges facing the international community in the opening decades of the new millennium. Long an arena of activism and practical experimentation, sustainable development has more recently begun to build a tradition of critical scholarship. This occasional speaker series hosts presentations and discussions of such scholarship and experimentation by researchers and practitioners from Harvard and visitors from around the world. Students, fellows, research staff, and faculty are invited to attend.
