*** We will be grateful if you circulate this to your networks and email
lists, and inform students and colleagues who might be interested. Thanks,
R&D team ***
I would like to inform you that the* inscription process to our Master in
Political Ecology <https://master.degrowth.org> is now open.*
You can access all the information about the inscription process here
<http://www.uab.cat/web/postgrado/master-en-political-ecology-degrowth-and-environmental-justice/informacion-general-1206597472083.html/param1-3853_es/param2-2000/>
and
the online inscription platform here
<https://web1.uab.es:31501/regis/controlreg/%5BmtoAlta%5DRegistroPublico?entradaPublica=true&destino=EPI&idioma=es&pais=ES&from=portal>.
Unfortunately, the information is only available in Catalan and Castilian
for the time being; it will soon be available in English. The teaching
language of the Master degree is English (100%).
This is the first Master of its kind, and one of the first in the world in
the flourishing field of Political Ecology.
Have a look at the program <https://master.degrowth.org/program/> with
detailed information about the courses. More info here
<https://master.degrowth.org> (i.e. FAQs <https://master.degrowth.org/faq/>
, lecturers <https://master.degrowth.org/lecturers/>, organizers
<https://master.degrowth.org/organizers/>). The Master is hosted by
the Environmental
Science and Technology Institute <http://ictaweb.uab.cat/> at the
Autonomous University of Barcelona, ranked 8th for environmental studies by The
Center for World University Rankings
<http://cwur.org/2017/subjects.php#Environmental%20Studies>.
You are kindly asked to first register in the system before submitting your
inscription. After finalizing the process of registration and inscription,
within one week we would give you the approval to enrol in the master (i.e.
to pay the fees).
The *deadline of the inscription process is the 29/09/2018*. But you don’t
have to wait until then. As you know, this is a self-funded master, which
is completely funded by students fees. This means that the master will run
with a minimum of 15 students (and a maximum of 35). Therefore, we
encourage you to submit your inscription to the master as soon as possible
in order to carry out this program.
If you are interested in joining this master, please send
to masterpoliticalecology[at]gmail.com a CV, the name and contacts of
two referees and a motivation letter (maximum 500 words) explaining why you
want to study degrowth and environmental justice, and why with us at ICTA
<http://ictaweb.uab.cat/?setLanguage=en> in Barcelona. Ideally, if
possible, send to us an expression of interest by the end of July.
We are very excited with this new project of Research and Degrowth
<https://degrowth.org/> and ICTA-UAB
<http://ictaweb.uab.cat/?setLanguage=en>, and we expect you to be part of
it. It is a one-year 60 ECTS programme, tuition fees 3,960 EUR (the minimum
our University allows charging for this number of credits).
*Do not hesitate to contact me in case of any doubts. *
Salut,

*Masters in Political Ecology, Degrowth and Environmental Justice*
This is the first Master of its kind, and one of the first in the world in
the flourishing field of Political Ecology. The Master builds on a
successful 7-year series of international Summer Schools
<https://summerschool.degrowth.org/> on Environmental Justice and Degrowth,
two ongoing European Research Council projects on global environmental
justice – see the Atlas of Environmental conflicts (https://ejatlas.org/) –
and on urban environmental justice (http://www.bcnuej.org/). ICTA
coordinated also ENTITLE <http://www.politicalecology.eu/>, a post-graduate
training network in political ecology funded by the EU. Our program
benefits from the several top researchers that are currently working at
*ICTA* (the Institute for Environmental Studies and Technology) and
*R&D* (Research
and Degrowth) in Barcelona, the two institutions co-organizing this program.
*Our motivation?* We live in an era of growing inequalities, poverty and
environmental disasters. Environmental and social problems are
inter-related. Environmental problems have political causes and political
solutions – they are a matter of power and inequality. Addressing climate
change calls for system change – our program offers the knowledge and tools
for thinking and bringing forward such system change. *We aspire to train
the next generation* of environmental justice activists, engaged civil
servants, and entrepreneurs of the new cooperative economy – those who will
put in action the best ideas for creating a society that is fair, enjoyable
and ecologically sustainable.
*Barcelona* is an international centre for research and action on degrowth
and environmental justice. In our Master program, you will get theoretical
classes from *top scholars* in the fields of environmental conflicts, urban
gentrification, ecological economics and governance of the commons. Our
teachers include well-known names in the field, such as Joan
Martinez-Alier, Isabelle Anguelovski and Giorgos Kallis. You will be
trained in using methods to conduct qualitative and quantitative analysis
of complex problems – such as multi-criteria evaluation, surveys,
Q-methodology, and material flow analysis. And you will be taught by
practitioners who are experts in their fields, how to facilitate a group
process, how to write a policy report or a newspaper article, how to run a
social or environmental justice campaign and how to set-up a cooperative.
The program focusses on the *theoretical*, *methodological* and
*professional* capacity building for young people who want to work in the
Social and Solidarity Economy, public administration, Environmental Justice
Organizations, think tanks and consultancies. Our graduates will be
employable in a variety of positions in the public, non-profit and private
sectors. You will be capable of organizing a campaign or launching a
lawsuit against a polluting agency or company. You will have the abilities
to identify gaps and start a non-profit or a cooperative business that
covers real human needs and creates social value. You will know how to
approach journalists, pitch and communicate your work to a newspaper, or do
an investigative report yourself. You will be able to analyze complex
problems using both qualitative and quantitative software and write policy
or consultancy reports.
*Our Master does not lead to a PhD.* It is a professional program, a “*Master
Propio*”, meaning a Master granted by our University. Within Spain (and
most of Europe), “Master Propios” are recognized by the private sector, but *do
not make you eligible for entering a PhD program*. Our program however will
be taught at the *highest academic level*, by researchers who are all
professors or holders of PhD – all of them active in publishing top quality
research. Our program is suitable for students who already have a Master
(or even a PhD) and want to switch to a research career and a PhD (or
post-doc) on political ecology, environmental justice or degrowth. Students
who already have a Master (or PhD) and want to proceed to a PhD (or
post-doc) might also benefit by the option of taking selected modules of
our program, as necessary for their needs, instead of the full Master
program.
Our program benefits from the fact that it takes place in Barcelona, the
capital of Catalonia, a city and country at the forefront of
experimentation with the *commons, social justice *and* alternative
economies*. We collaborate closely with the municipality of Barcelona and
several of the civil groups and cooperatives active in the city and
metropolitan region. The students of our program will develop practical
exercises and their theses in such organizations, enmeshing their work in
the vibrant progressive culture of the city.
Our pedagogy is based on *group learning*. Most of our professors are young
and experiment with *new methods of teaching*, other than conventional
lecturing. You will be asked to read and interact, but you will also
experience knowledge through field visits, conversations with local people,
work in local organizations and direct Action Research. You will learn how
to work in groups, and you will develop most of your assignments and your
final project in groups.
