Fall 2014 coursework

With two core seminars and some electives behind me, I am nearly done with my PhD coursework. The one PhD requirement I still need to meet is one term of political theory. To that end, I am planning to take “Markets, Justice and the Human Good” with Joseph Carens this term.

In order to satisfy the requirements of the Environmental Studies Collaborative Program, I will also be taking “Environmental Decision Making” with Doug Macdonald and Becky Raboy.

At the same time, I will be a teaching assistant for “Canada in Comparative Perspective” with Pauline Beange.

That should leave a reasonable amount of time for the main business of this year: producing a research proposal for my dissertation, assembling a committee, and getting the proposal approved by them and the department.

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.
