BIO
Justin is from Doylestown, Pennsylvania, but has lived in Oakland, California and London more recently. He studied Political Economy at Union College and Urban Political Ecology at University College London. He is interested in the areas where mainstream economics has failed, and in finding better approaches to the discipline.
He wrote his master's dissertation on Ecological Economics and the debate surrounding Ecosystem Service Valuations. He is pursuing a doctorate in Natural Resources under Professor Jon Erickson in the Rubenstein School. Their research will examine place-based renewable power generation around Vermont incorporating the concept of an energyshed. He hopes to pursue a career in education and Ecological Economics, in an effort to reframe the study of the political economy in a way that is considerate of Earth biophysical boundaries.
He enjoys film, basketball, hiking, traveling and (apparently) talking about himself in the third person.
Prospective graduate students interested in learning more about research and experiences in the Rubenstein School may contact Justin.
