PhD training for new era of thought leaders.
The Gund Institute for Environment collaborates with the Leadership for the Ecozoic (L4E) initiative in supporting outstanding PhD students who focus on urgent environmental issues.
The Ecozoic era, coined by Thomas Berry, is a vision for a future founded on mutually enhancing relationships between human societies and the global community of life. Leadership for the Ecozoic will chart a course for enabling this new era.
Charting a sustainable future
L4E is a community that trains PhD student fellows and conducts research with a focus on an Ecozoic future in which all life on earth thrives. PhD student fellows are at the center of our mission and are joined by postdoctoral scholars, research staff, faculty partners, outside collaborators, alumni, and an international network of like-minded institutes and organizations. L4E roots its work in Ecological Economics (housed at UVM in CDAE) and Anthropology (housed at McGill in the Department of Anthropology).
