GCK Project Proposes Ambitious New Projects: Led by Clark Miller and Daniel Barben, the GCK Project has submitted two new ambitious proposals to the National Science Foundation. The first, a Partnership for International Science Education proposal, would establish a partnership among ASU, Harvard, and Cambridge to support graduate student education in comparative and international science and technology policy. The second, a Science of Science and Innovation Policy proposal, would create a partnership with Edinburgh University to examine the impact of technological imaginaries on science and innovation across the globe.

Congratulations Taylor: Project member Taylor Jackson has completed his Master's Thesis "International Political Economy, Wilderness Myths, and Conservation Knowledge: Constructing Environmental Priorities in the Global Environment Facility."
