Dear Colleagues, I write regarding a personal matter, and ask for your forbearance in advance.
For the past several years, my daughter Sarah has worked for USAID as a contract employee in Washington DC, with frequent site-visits abroad, on locally-led development initiatives in East and Southern Africa. She came to the job after two years with the Peace Corps in Ethiopia, followed by graduate work at Duke's Public Policy program. Some of you know her from the classroom, or from earlier collaborations. Like pretty much everyone else at USAID, Sarah is treading water these days waiting to see what happens, but it looks to be a long wait with no $$ coming in. If you have any research, writing, project management, manuscript preparation or grantsmanship work at the ready that can be tackled remotely, and are looking for someone to dive in, please contact me and I'll pass your particulars onto Sarah, about whom you may learn more at https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-maniates/ Yours, Michael Michael F MANIATES Forthcoming: The Living-Green Myth: The Promise and Limits of Lifestyle Environmentalism, Polity Press, 2025 Now available open access: Consumption Corridors: Living a Good Life Within Sustainable Limits<Recently%20released%20(open%20access):%20%20Consumption%20Corridors:%20Living%20a%20Good%20Life%20Within%20Sustainable%20Limits,%202021>, Routledge, 2021 Yale-NUS College, Singapore | Professor of Social Sciences, Environmental Studies | Inaugural Head of Environmental Studies (2013 - 2022, 2024) | Distinguished Teaching Award - 2021 | Convener, gep-ed (Environmental Studies Section, International Studies Association) | Web: http://michaelmaniates.com<http://michaelmaniates.com/> |Bluesky: @michaelmaniates | Senior Visiting Professor of Environmental Studies, Oberlin College, Oberlin, OH, 2011 - 2013 | Professor of Environmental Science and Political Science, Allegheny College, Meadville, PA, 1993 - 2013 | BS (University of California), MA, PhD (Energy and Resources, University of California) | Most people are eagerly groping for some medium, some way in which they can bridge the gap between their morals and their practices. --Saul Alinsk ________________________________ Important: This email is confidential and may be privileged.
