DEEP CLIMATE CONVERSATIONS
Topic: “Multi-disciplinarity in Climate Social and Behavioral Sciences: Challenges and Opportunities”
Wednesday, February 1
12:00-1:15 PM EST
The Environmental Politics and Governance network (epgnetwork.org) has launched a new initiative, Deep Climate Conversations. This will be an online structured roundtable (i.e., questions circulated in advance to speakers) on a specific issue. The objective is to explore climate issues at a deeper, theoretical level.
This will be a 75-minute event: 60 minutes for discussion of planned questions, leaving about 15 minutes for comments from the audience. We have scheduled it for Wednesday, February 1, 12:00-1:15 PM EST.
Please register in advance here. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

This roundtable will focus on the following questions:
- What are the key questions on climate mitigation and adaptation examined in your discipline? What are the key findings?
- What are the most pressing research frontiers in the study of climate change in your discipline?
- Must climate scholars be multi-disciplinary? What are the pros and cons of disciplinary focus vs. multi-disciplinarity
