Seeking sources

I have decided to take on two of the three potential tutorial students for the St. Hugh’s summer school, primarily because it is a good opportunity to gain teaching experience. As such, I am in the process of finding sources on the following topics that would be appropriate for clever high school students:

  1. Causes and consequences of the 1973 oil price shock
  2. The creation and history of OPEC
  3. Distributive justice issues, regarding food
  4. Corporate involvement in Latin America, same sector

If anything jumps to mind immediately to anyone, I would appreciate if you would leave a comment.

In the spring of 2005, I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in International Relations and a general focus in the area of environmental politics. Between 2005 and 2007 I completed an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford. I worked for five years for the Canadian federal government, including completing the Accelerated Economist Training Program, and then completed a PhD in Political Science at the University of Toronto in 2023.

One thought on “Seeking sources”

  1. Q.3 has to be something by Sen, afraid I can’t be too much more specific… If you wanted, you could of course bring in a lot of global justice (Rawls, Beitz, Pogge) since the issue is generally between countries. Though I believe Sen makes the point almost any country could feed everyone if it really wanted, which is why famine is rare in democracies.
