- Environmental determinants and health equity
- Thinking of the future: Echoes of the past in the present environment
- Ecological and social implications of a changing climate change
- Issues of Justice: Equity in ESS research
- Local impacts of global challenges: Environmental stories of Syracuse
Abstracts can be submitted via the registration form. Students should choose “Presenter” (15- or 30-minute presentation) to enter their research information.
Conference Highlights include a catered welcome ceremony for all participants at the Salt City Market, Syracuse, keynote speakers each day, professional development workshops for graduate students, and a Thesis Elevator Pitch competition open to ESF graduate students.
