The education and daily communication language under the Program is English. With such a support system at the University, JDS Fellows are therefore able to start their studies without major difficulties. NUGELP was established in to develop environmental leaders who are able to identify and analyze infrastructure and environmental problems from a global and holistic perspective, and propose practical measures to solve the problems in Asia and Africa.
Syllabus details for each course are available at the program website. An academic advisor shall be tentatively assigned upon selection. All faculty members listed below are authorized to supervise JDS fellows. For more information, please visit the following website and see the accompanying document. JDS fellows will be given priority to be accommodated in the university dormitories for the first one year.
Learning in research groups: Students are provided with individual desks, PCs with internet access, and also access to equipment and systems necessary to develop their own research under the supervision of academic advisors. The University holds its library of a total of 3. The University Library System provides a large number of desks and learning rooms for students to enhance their learning performance.
In order to cultivate the specialists on civil engineering and environmental studies who will lead infrastructure and environmental policy and measures in the coming decades, Nagoya University established the Nagoya University Center for Global Environmental Leaders, directed by the Vice President of the University. The university-wide center supports capacity developments, global alumni networking and continued assistance to alumni as well as the regular operation of NUGELP, in close collaboration with the cooperated graduate schools and the Education Center for International Students.
Communication between the NUGELP Office and the students is conducted in English so that international students can smoothly start their study without difficulties. ECIS provides various assistance to students from overseas including academic and daily life support, courses of Japanese and other languages and cultural understanding, and cultural exchange programs with local communities. JDS programs in Nagoya University: The University therefore has abundant experience in operating the program and also to assist JDS Fellows.
Also thanks to other programs by JICA such as the long-term training program, many experts from developing countries are studying at Nagoya University. Toquero 14th Batch, graduated in Nagoya University Workplace: As a government scholar through JICE-JDS program, my task is to engage and conduct research on a well-rounded knowledge of Japan that could contribute and help my country to answer and solve problems especially traffic congestion, as one of the big issues. Studying in Japan provided a lot of opportunities that broadened my perspective in learning forefront knowledge in a technological environment in line with my specialization as well as building a wide and expanded network.
Diverse people I have met along this journey, including their nationality, understandings, culture and engagement with related and similar mission. To find solutions and deal with respective realities and problems of our home countries and as a whole. My stay in Japan is a realization of what kind of quality of service Japan can offer to any country in terms of transportation system. This opportunity prepared me to handle responsibilities in government on how my research could be applied as an alternative solution to traffic congestion in order to be effective. Also, one of the opportunities I gained was to be involved in an international association that promotes the development of transportation system by the prompt undertaking of traffic and safety-related research activities in an international approach beyond national boundaries.
These relationship and cooperation will lead to a more future work of my country and Japan that will resolve traffic problems. As one of the components of the project of JDS, which is to enhance expertise in the areas of transportation infrastructure, I have had a great opportunity to engage and experience new culture, advanced, developments, very considerate and disciplined Japanese people.
To be one of the representatives from the government together with other JDS scholars, I am hoping and expecting that the learning we gained from well-known universities in Japan could help us and how governments should treat and deal with their respective people and encounter realities for the development of the Philippines. I am thankful for the Japanese Grant Aid for Human Resource Development Scholarship project by the Japan International Cooperation Center in cooperation with the Philippine - National Economic and Development Authority for giving me this kind of opportunity to study in Nagoya University and acquire technical knowledge that could really help me in working for the government of the Philippines.
Special events are also planned for JDS Fellows during the two-year degree program.
The lectures are to be given by several lecturers that may include external guest speakers. Sustainability covers broad areas. It is therefore inevitable that the course consists of various topics. The course tries to clarify the topics from three viewpoints, namely: English communication ability is a fundamental requirement for engineers and scientists working in the field of environmental problems, since environmental problems are not unique to any one country.
In this course students will be assigned specific subjects concerning environmental problems and will be required to study the assigned subjects deeply, and then present and discuss the studied subjects in class in English. Frontier in Civil Engineering Lecture, 2 credits by Associated Faculty The aim of the lecture is to comprehensively examine the framework of civil engineering through the introductions of various research topics, projects and so on which the staff of civil engineering have investigated in recent years.
The English department here is very supportive of interdisciplinary projects, and grad students working on ecocriticism can take courses in other departments relatively easily. The leafy UO campus is set in a friendly town full of live music venues, health food stores large and small, craft bakeries, bike paths and proximity to both the Cascade Mountains and the Pacific Ocean.
Outdoor recreation is easy to find, both in the town of Eugene with its two mountain rivers flowing through, and in the nearby wilderness areas full of trout streams and snowy peaks. Perhaps the rugged Pacific Northwest landscapes of fertile valleys and green mountains west of the Cascades and high plateau cattle ranching country to the east are responsible for the keen environmental interests of the region. The University of Oregon is one of the most environmentally active campuses in the nation, with many departments offering green curricula and much interdisciplinary collaboration.
English Department faculty and graduate students have been founding members and continue to be active in ASLE, as well as presenting their research at related national and international conferences. Faculty expertise ranges from Thoreau and nineteenth-century science, to postcolonial theory and travel writing in the Long Eighteenth Century, to ecocritical cultural studies at the turn of the nineteenth century into the Modernist era; from science studies and animal studies to environmental philosophy; from concepts of nature in the Middle Ages, to colonial American ethnohistory, cartography, and naturalism; to geopolitical food policy and literature in the twentieth century.
Our goal is to provide students with a degree program about the cultural, moral, historical, spiritual, creative, and communication dimensions of environmental issues. The program builds upon, and adds to, the collaborative nature of faculty and student engagement across several disciplines at OSU.
A students will graduate prepared for good, wise work in such positions as environmental NGOs, government and land agencies, advocacy groups, corporations, green business, journalism, conservation and stewardship, formal and informal education, and other environmental positions that require strong, creative communication and reasoning skill sets and humanistic understanding. In its foundation courses, the M.
Then it invites students to focus on one of three graduate areas of concentration.
Students in the M. Pacifica Graduate Institute The M. Pacifica Graduate Institute represents a community of dedicated research scholars with decades of experience and publications in exploring and increasing creativity through traditional humanities and arts practice based research.
Pacifica offers a particular focus in developing the ecological humanities, including course in advanced ecocriticism in relation to the unconscious, myth and nature-based creativity, the healing arts. The MA grows from this strong foundation of research and teaching into how creativity works with eco-perspectives in the humanities for example from traditional scholarship to web-enhanced creative practice and embodied performance. The program extends and deepens what it means to be human in a new relationship with the non-human. Residencies bring together outstanding students and faculty for 10 exhilarating days of workshop and serious craft study.
Back home, students read, write, and revise during one-on-one independent study with a prize-winning, publishing mentor. The intimate exchange of ideas between mentor and mentee improves writing faster than students thought possible.
Faculty members who write with an interest in place-based or environmental writing are K. For more information, email: University of North Texas Deeply invested in interdisciplinary Environmental Studies, The University of North Texas takes pride in its numerous environmental and sustainability initiatives, as well as its commitment to addressing economic, social, and cultural environmental issues.
More specifically, professors Priscilla Ybarra and Ian Finseth both have noted interests in the intersections between environmental history and environmental studies, including canonical as well as ethnic American literary traditions. Furthermore, following the work of prominent environmental scholars, Dr.
Finseth specializes in nineteenth-century American and African American literature, with particular research interests in race, ecocrticism, science, and religious history.
His first book, Shades of Green: Visions of Nature in the Literature of American Slavery, University of Georgia Press, , examines the role of environmental thought and images of the natural world in the debate over human bondage in the early American republic. His current book project will introduce an analysis of literary representations of ecstasy and dissociative experience, focusing on the cognitive and neurophenomenological dimensions of the human encounter with nature.
This list is being updated and expanded as of September This programme is an opportunity to acquire new research skills, as you discover Students can attend any or all of these branches over the five years of their work toward an MA. The department has a large number of MA and PhD students doing work in. Daniel Salomon,() has a Master of Arts in Theological Research from . Christian Environmental Studies: Toward A Graduate Program-Revised and.
The English department also promotes interdisciplinary work more broadly. Students may also take courses within the department of Anthropology, which offers a focused graduate degree in Environmental and Ecological Anthropology.
Furthermore, UNT has recently partnered with numerous organizations in the North Texas region to implement numerous environmental initiatives. Such initiatives include, but are not limited to, the Waterways Project, a biennial water conference at UNT which takes an interdisciplinary approach to addressing critical water issues; the Trust for Land, which works with North Texas communities to preserve natural areas and create parklands; the Prairie and Timbers chapter of the Audubon Society, which offers programs related to wildlife, ecology, conservation, and birds; and the Cross Timbers Group of the Sierra Club, which works to protect the wild spaces of North Texas.

University of Texas at Arlington The MA and PhD in English at the University of Texas at Arlington includes graduate courses on environmentally-oriented topics and graduate students focus on nature and the environment in both their research and their teaching. Graduate faculty include Amy Tigner the environment in Renaissance England, early modern environmental studies of landscape, land usage, and pollution ; Neill Matheson Thoreau; nineteenth-century American literature, natural history, and anthropology; theories of the animal ; and Stacy Alaimo environmental humanities; science studies; new materialism, gender and environment, green cultural studies; environmental health and environmental justice, animal studies, oceans.
Currently there are two Ph. Heather Houser and Allen MacDuffie. Issues of race, regionalism, and social justice have been embedded in environmental literature from its beginnings. More recently, Carolyn Merchant has written on the connections between slavery and soil degradation in the American south. In other words, regional studies, race, ethnicity, and postcoloniality are inextricable from studies of environmental literature. Our aim with the LSJE initiative is to engage graduate students who share the desire to approach canonical, contemporary, and newly discovered historical literature through the intellectual media of these combined sensibilities.
Students will revisit important texts in a new light—across political boundaries into bioregions—within environmental historical contexts. Graduate students pursuing study in LSJE will have the chance to take courses in ecocriticism, as well as race, gender, and social justice theory, and appropriate literary periods and subjects. MA students may take as many as 15 hours of coursework in such areas and write a thesis.
PhD students must take at least 18 hours and can take more. Students will also have access to the Sowell Collection in Literature, Community and the Natural World, one of the finest repositories of contemporary literature of natural history. The Undergraduate Minor in Literature, Social Justice, and the Environment LSJE provides a structured program that allows students to benefit from the creative possibilities of interdisciplinary research.
Because of its interdisciplinary nature, LSJE minor compliments many majors and allows students to investigate course committed to empowering them as responsible and conscientious global citizens. This minor is intended to engage students with the most important contemporary developments in the study of race, gender, sexuality, global studies, and the natural environment. The program offers the freedom to explore diverse interdisciplinary approaches while developing a global consciousness rooted in a broad, yet practical understanding of the institutions that shape our human efforts.
Core courses in the Department of English focus on issues of social justice within the context of specific cultures and peoples. Within the LSJE curriculum, students may further explore discourse ranging from the gendered politics of the world of sports to historical treatments of nature and identity.
They may choose to focus on topics of environmental ethics, political philosophy, and international politics. The Creative Writing Program at Texas Tech University offers both the MA and PhD with emphasis in creative writing to qualified students, with a creative writing faculty whose writing and teaching interests support writing on environment and place. With its emphasis on transdisciplinary research drawing on the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences and on critical thinking, integrative analysis, and strong written and oral communication skills, the concentration provides students with a well-rounded understanding and capacity for addressing real-world environmental issues and problems.
Students will work closely with their advisors and members of their studies committee to develop a program of coursework which may include internships and a final project or research thesis that strengthens their understanding and professional competency in some aspect of environmental thought, study, and action. Final project or research theses may be applied or theoretical, and may involve such methodologies as social surveys, ethnography, action research in organizational settings, discourse and policy analysis, document research, multi-criteria assessment for environmental decisions, organizational strategy development, media or artistic communication techniques, ethical or philosophical analysis, and others.
