Apr. 29 – Wall Scholars Catalyst Program
Theme: Climate and Nature Emergency
Applications are invited from leading scholars across career stages from UBC and UBCO to the 2022-23 Wall Scholars Catalyst Program. Successful scholars will participate in regular sessions at the Institute focusing on the broad theme of Climate and Nature Emergency. Up to 10 Wall Scholars will be appointed in this selection process.
The program will uphold the Institute’s mandate to provide a platform for associated scholars, fellows and partners to engage in research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries and that explores innovative ways of thinking and knowing to address the biggest challenges of our time. Selected applicants will build connections, cultivate relationships and initiate collaborations that will continue beyond the program year.
The 2022-23 Wall Scholars Catalyst Program places emphasis on the role of scholars as change catalysts in society and of PWIAS as an incubator of inter- and trans-disciplinary collaborations that engage with the urgency, scale and complexity of the program theme.
The theme proposed for the 2022-23 cohort is Climate and Nature Emergency. The recent devastating environmental disasters in BC are indicative of the immediacy of climate crises, the complexities of bringing about systemic change and the urgent need for coordinated efforts to address climate change, climate justice and biodiversity loss both locally and globally. The program will complement and connect faculty and student led initiatives.
We encourage applications from all disciplines and from scholars whose work may be vital to understanding the climate and nature emergency, but who may have not previously conceived of their scholarship in this frame. For this call, we hope to expand the ways of knowing and acting in this challenging socio-ecological moment.
Application Deadline: Friday, April 29, 2022
The Wall Scholars Catalyst Program will run September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2023.
