Those of you interested in being interviewed and published will then get a PDF copy of the final article and/or link to the website where their story will be listed.
Can I know what is the formate of this interview and who will be the target readers etc?
Since you are not in the US, I only have two choices for how to conduct the interview: 1.) Conduct it via Skype; or 2.) send you an e-mail with the questions. In what capacity do you perform sustainability responsibilities for the university?
My target readers are our subscribers for Business and the Environment.
It would be suitable to email me questions. It can be followed by an interview via skype, if required.
That's fine, but I first need to properly vet you re: your position at the university. Please refer back to my previous question.
My name is Abdullah Khan. I did my Ph.D. in Environmental Sociology with focus on Sustainable Development. I started my career as an environmental research journalist in a national newspaper and served there for more than 5 years. There my job was to write research and investigative reports on various environmental and socio-economic issues. Then I joined Hazara University and established Department of Environmental Sciences in 2008. Presently I am running this department as founder Head of the Department and carry on research and teaching activities. I am also supervising M.Phil and Ph.D. scholars in different research areas in Sustainable Development.
I hope this is enough for you. I can tell more if you need.
What specifically is your role in Sustainable Development for the university. For example, do you manage how the school best attempts to manage its GHG footprint? If so, what specifically do you do? These are among the items I need responses to for those individuals I interview for my article.
As I said earlier, I established department of eEnvironmental Sciences and am presently heading it. The Department's theme is to promotoe sustainable development by conducting research and consultancy services. We have outreach services to community and industry. For example we conduct research and consultancy for ISO 14000 Series certifcation which help all kind insutries and organizations to make their performance environment friendly. Similarly we offer same services in the area of Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (EIA) which is a useful tool for making establishment of a environment friendly projects in future. These both are my areas of specializations and I am personally contributing in these areas by supervising research, teaching and conducting consultancy services. These two subjects are very important tools in managing GHG Footprint at both stages i.e. as anticipatory tool before a project is established and recovery tool that a project is already established. as an Besides, Environmental Policy, EnvironmentalManagement in Disaster and Environmental Planning and Management are other major subjects where I am supervisng M.Phil/Ph.D. scholars and thus contributing our role as stakeholder in policy making and decision.
OK, well we will have to see where your role fits in relative to the questions I need replied. Do you have a Skype account so we may talk? It would be difficult to send you the questions piecemeal via this portal. Thank you.
