Progressive day

Today was almost as productive as tonight is chilly: I finished quite a bit of thesis reading, some thesis writing, and a funding application.While that’s not enough to reverse the tide of ever more emails in need of response, and ever fewer days in which to finish so many things, I did better than break even.

During the rest of the evening, I will read one more thesis: this one on the use of science in drafting the EC Biomass Action Plan. Amazing how these things only take a couple of hours to read carefully, but require hundreds of hours of work and thousands of hours of angst to produce.

Sometimes, I really wish there was at least one other person studying environmental politics with whom I could speak on a regular basis.

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.
