Humans, animals, and the environment are facing a multitude of planetary crises β from climate change and biodiversity loss, to air, soil, and water pollution. We urgently need to better understand their drivers and impacts, and the range of potential responses for mitigation and adaptation. We need to tackle these problems in a holistic, integrative, and transdisciplinary manner, aiming to provide actionable insights for policymakers and stakeholders. This vision is at the heart of the mission of NYUβs Department of Environmental Studies and is a fundamental aspect of our new PhD program. At the core of the program are three research themes that encompass faculty research and form the basis of the PhD program: Food and Land Use Systems, Ecological Systems, and Governance Systems. Across these themes is a deep integration of human, animal, and environmental issues, reflecting our expansive and innovative focus on both Animal Studies and Environmental Studies. The PhD program foresees its alumni following a range of career paths β from academia to government, civil society to the private sector. The PhD program will prepare graduates for whichever paths they choose.
