Graduate Perspectives from Australia, China, and the US - Harvard University

From James Lovelock's Gaia thesis, to Tim Flannery's historical and ecological work, global discussion on climate and climate change spans humanities and science. This Conference will bring together 40 graduate students from Australia, China, and the US - to present their global perspectives on climate and climate change. The Conference aims to highlight research work that displays genuine disciplinary crossover. Science students and Humanities/Social Science students will exchange research ideas, crossing disciplines, cultures, and continents.

The conference is co-sponsored by the Go8, the Harvard Committee on Australian Studies, and the Consortium of China 9 Research Universities (C9). Professor Alison Bashford, Harvard Chair of Australian Studies (09/10) will convene the conference.

Applications for Australian students are open now and close 1 July 2009. One science and one humanities student from the University of Sydney will be selected to attend this conference at Harvard University. Funding includes $2,500 travel + $800 accommodation.
