To wrap up the fall 2013 term

By December 12th or so, I need to write a 15-page critical essay for my environmental politics course, probably on the history and future prospects of Ontario’s nuclear industry. It’s worth 30% of my course grade. More dauntingly, I have a 6,000 to 8,000 word paper to write for my public policy core seminar. It’s meant to be an update of Richard Simeon’s 1976 article “Studying Public Policy” – a general survey of the state of the literature. It’s worth 35% of the course grade.

Beyond that, all I have to do is a bit more grading and administration for the tutorials I am teaching and – of course – a huge amount of work for my Canadian politics re-comp on January 10th.

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. In the fall of 2005, I began reading for an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford. Outside school, I am very interested in photography, writing, and the outdoors. I am writing this blog to keep in touch with friends and family around the world, provide a more personal view of graduate student life in Oxford, and pass on some lessons I've learned here.
