Bard MBA in Sustainability and Bard Center for Environmental Policy Present
Second Annual Student Research Conference on Asia and the Environment
Thursday, April 14, 2016 – Friday, April 15, 2016
Bard College Campus
Today it is impossible to think seriously about the challenges of sustainable development and the environment without understanding the local and global environmental footprint of rapid economic growth in Asia—and the Asian response. At the same time, Asian Studies students increasingly require familiarity with the scientific, cultural, and political dimensions of environmental crises and sustainable development.With the support of the Henry Luce Foundation, Bard College is sponsoring this second annual student research conference, providing a venue for students to present undergraduate, masters, and PhD level research at the intersection of these critical issues. The conference seeks to shed critical light on how we all might live sustainably—or not—in a 2050 world with three billion more people, limited resources, a thickening blanket of carbon dioxide heating the planet, and a global economic development process increasingly defined by Asian models and leadership.
The conference will be held on the campus of Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, in the scenic Hudson Valley, which is easily accessible by train from New York City. There is no charge for Bard students.
