The second meeting of the APSI Environmental Futures in Asia Network (EFAN) will take place May 15–17, 2025, hosted by Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.
The insights gained and relationships formed at the inaugural 2024 workshop in Jeju will serve as the foundation for this second event which aims to broaden participants’ understanding and awareness of efforts to promote social and environmental justice.
This workshop will invite additional contributors representing Duke’s vibrant academic communities as well as other institutions in North America and Asia, advancing interdisciplinary and cross-regional collaboration by promoting emerging social science and humanities research on environmental issues. Additionally, graduate students will be invited to share their research and engage with more established faculty, expanding the conversation to include multiple generations.
EFAN was established with three objectives: supporting emerging scholars in advancing their research agendas, facilitating interdisciplinary conversations on methods and theories related to environmental topics in Asia, and cultivating ethical collaboration by connecting scholars with local practitioners, researchers, and activists.
