Professional Development Panels

AERE periodically organizes virtual events typically held online via Zoom.

Graduate Student Professional Development Panel Series

Experienced scholars in the field share their wisdom and experiences in panel discussions with graduate students as the intended audience, though all are welcome. These conversations are intended to increase student exposure and uncover aspects of the hidden curriculum in navigating a career in environmental and resource economics. Attendance is not restricted to AERE members! Recordings and/or presentations from past panels (if available) may be accessed on the AERE Resources webpage.
