In January, 2016, distinguished scholars from the field of Environmental Sociology gathered at the National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center (SESYNC) in Annapolis, Maryland as part of the 2015-2016 Socio-Environmental Immersion Program.

The Immersion Program focuses on the diverse scholarly traditions, research methods, and theories that make up socio-environmental science. Designed for a diverse interdisciplinary group of early career scholars including SESYNC postdoctoral fellows and researchers from a range of other postdoctoral positions and doctoral programs across the US (PSE Fellow Anya M. Galli is a member in the 2015-2016 cohort), the Immersion Program consists of five collaborative workshops led by top scholars from ecology, economics, sociology, anthropology, and the science of global change. According to the program website, “the workshops are designed to immerse participants in theories and methods foundational to understanding current environmental challenges and their underlying S-E systems.” Scholars’ lectures are live-streamed on the SESYNC website and posted online.
