Bard MBA in Sustainability and Bard Center for Environmental Policy Present

Natural Resources and Security in East Asia

Jackson Ewing from the Asia Society Policy Institute gives the LIASE Asia Environment Conference Keynote Lecture "Natural Resources and Security in East Asia," Weis Cinema, Bertelsman Campus Center, Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY at 9 am EST Wednesday April 15th, 2016.

Jackson Ewing is the Director of Asian Sustainability at the Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI) in New York, where he leads projects on environmental cooperation, responsible resource development, and international climate change policy.

Undergraduate and graduate students engaged in research related to Asia and the environment are invited to submit posters and papers for presentation at this second in a series of annual conferences.

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 an 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, NY, which is easily accessible by train from New York City.

To submit a paper for a panel, or a proposal for a poster presentation, please send a one paragraph abstract to [email protected]. Undergraduate students must also include a letter of support from a professor.
