Subject: Faculty and Graduate Research Network 

My name is Carolyn Jost Robinson. I am currently a doctoral candidate in the 
Department of Anthropology here at Purdue. This past spring I received the 
Bilsland Strategic Initiative Fellowship from the Graduate School for the 
development PANEL (the Purdue African Network for Environments and Livelihoods). 
I am writing to inquire about the potential interest of the faculty, staff, and 
graduate students who may be interested in the development of this network and 
its future activities.

One of the primary goals is to create a forum for Purdue graduate students and 
faculty conducting research related to or have interests in conservation, 
development, poverty alleviation, management policy and the sustainability of 
wildlife and human livelihoods in Africa.

It aims to establish a working group, PANEL (Purdue African Network for the 
Environment and Livelihoods) to forge and maintain connections between students 
and faculty among departments, across colleges, and between centers and 
institutes for policy and the environment already in place at Purdue.  
Developing a network with a specific geographical focus will allow researchers 
across Purdue to apply interdisciplinary, nuanced approaches to problem solving 
within the complex political, economical, environmental landscapes unique to 
African countries.

Please forward this to any faculty and graduate students in your departments who 
may be interested in the participation and/or development of the activities 
related to this program. Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from 
you.


Sincerely,

Carolyn Jost Robinson
