A MEETING PLACE FOR EARLY CAREER SCHOLARS
The environmental, economic, political, and social crises we face today have one thing in common: they are replicated in every jurisdiction and are produced by forces that extend globally.
They require deep analysis, lateral thinking, and innovative problem-solving.
The only organisation of its kind, GRN is a focal point for early career faculty, researchers and doctoral students interested in new thinking about these issues. Members come from a truly global diverse range of backgrounds and higher education institutions. Our common goal is that of collaboration, which is needed more than ever as the greatest problems of the day transcend narrow fields of work.
The GRN provides a new kind of interdisciplinary space, facilitating long-term friendships, creative thinking, and genuine career support. Members are invited to connect across national and institutional borders, and to share their experiences in life, study, and practice. The Network is for exceptional scholars but it is not elitist. It is inspiring but not intimidating. It offers an abundance of opportunities and perspectives that enrich the scholar, the work, and the field.
Members connect through monthly writing groups, webinars, think tank meetings, and online coffeehouse meet-ups. They can maintain their own profile (including videos and feature articles on their work), and have access to chat rooms and personal messaging.
