Listen as professor William P. Barnett and Stanford student Charlotte Kramer host a discussion with Jon A. Krosnick, the Frederic O. Glover Professor of Humanities and Social Sciences, and Professor of Communication and of Political Science, at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability, to discuss the takeaways from an academic conference held at Stanford GSB on February 22-23, 2024.

This conference brought together scholars from across campus and elsewhere who have done work illuminating human thinking and action related to the environment and sustainability.

Stanford University recently created the Doerr School of Sustainability, which is devoted to advancing knowledge critical to sustaining life on Earth, preparing students to lead, and catalyzing informed action to generate local, national, and global solutions.

The Doerr School recently formed a Department of Environmental Social Sciences, which currently includes faculty with expertise in psychology, sociology, communication, political science, economics, history, anthropology, education, business, the law, classics, health and medicine, archeology, and more. New faculty will be hired during the years to come.

With joint sponsorship from the Doerr School, the Stanford Graduate School of Business, the Departments of Communication, Sociology, Anthropology, and Psychology and the Woods Institute for the Environment, Stanford is pleased to be hosting a conference to bring together scholars from across campus and elsewhere who have done work illuminating human thinking and action related to the environment and sustainability.

The conference will be a mix of presentations of completed research, in-process research, and plans for research, as well as discussions of the presentations.

The Stanford Initiative on Business and Environmental Sustainability Research Conference Series is hosted by Stanford Graduate School of Business and the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability.
