Climate and Democracy Graduate Fellows
In order to deepen our understanding on this vital topic, the Mitchell Center and PPEH awarded Climate and Democracy Graduate Fellowships to five Penn graduate students, who met throughout the year to work on collaborative projects.
- Tayeba Batool (Anthropology), who studies nature-based urban planning in Pakistan;
- Sarah Eskandari (History), who studies the intersection of women, environmentalism, and revolution in Iran;
- Helene Langlamet (Communication), who studies the ways in which the coal and natural-gas lobbies shape politics in western Pennsylvania;
- Rehana Thembeka Odendaal (Education), who studies youth climate activists in the U.S. and South Africa; and
- Vanessa Schipani (Philosophy), who studies the roles of science and science journalism in shaping democratic deliberation over climate policy.
