Henrik Selin, a Faculty Associate at the Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future and an Associate Professor of International Relations at the Pardee School of Global Studies, recently presented his research on mercury and sustainability transitions at the 2018 Utrecht Conference on Earth System Governance in the Netherlands. Prof. Selin’s presentation was titled “A New Conceptual Framework for Analyzing the Effectiveness of Multilateral Environmental Agreements.”

Prof. Selin is a Senior Research Fellow at the Earth Systems Governance Project, the largest social science research network in the area of governance and global environmental change.

Prof. Selin is currently spending the fall of 2018 at the Technical University of Munich’s (TUM) Institute for Advanced Study on a Hans Fischer Senior Fellowship, a three-year award given to “outstanding international scientists who intend to explore innovative, high-risk topics in their scientific research areas.”

In February, Prof. Selin was selected as an expert for the newly-formed Minamata Convention on Mercury effectiveness evaluation committee, representing the Pardee Center, which is an observer organization of the Convention.
