new forms of public engagement around UNFCCC policy documents in order to catalyse critical reflections on global climate diplomacy and climate justice. Specifically, the candidate will be expected to play a leading role in organizing and analyzing semiannual
‘COP Rewrite’ events that guide members of diverse publics in deliberations around key terms and strategies contemplated in recent UNFCCC documents. The student will also develop their own original thesis research, ideally with strong points of connection
to the project’s themes of sustainability, climate justice, and environmental history and communications.</span></div>
