Dear GEP-ED members, I would like to introduce myself, as I am a new member of the listserv. I am a PhD student at Yale's School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. Before coming to Yale, I was a climate policy analyst for a small non-profit organization and focused my time on US state and regional climate policy. I received my undergraduate degree at Yale College in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and a Masters in Environmental Management at Yale's School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. It has been wonderful to be back at Yale -- and in an academic community again. During my doctoral studies, I hope to explore whether non-state market driven governance could be effective in enhancing the management of protected areas, especially as these managers will need to adopt adaptation strategies to counter climate change effects. I am working with Professor Ben Cashore at Yale (who is also on the GEP-ED listserv!). I very much look forward to being a part of the listserv. Thank you for your time. All the best, Kelly Levin |
