I am done with attended classes and teaching tutorials for this term, but I have some pretty major things to get through before things resume in January.
Major tasks:
- Produce a decent draft of my PhD research proposal, to be circulated for comment to committee members and potential supervisors
- Update the University of Toronto fossil fuel divestment brief
- Review and help finalize the corporate bylaws for Toronto350.org
In addition, there are some secondary projects:
- Finish the term paper for my environmental decision-making course
- Finish the term paper for my markets and justice course
- Grade midterms
- Work on the book chapter that I am writing in collaboration with a prof
I don’t think I will have much of a winter ‘break’ at all.
My first term paper is done: Analysis of a complex environmental decision: Global regulation of persistent organic pollutants
My term paper on John Rawls and climate change ethics has finally been submitted: Word, PDF
Excellent paper and thought provoking.
I thought the discussion of how the veil of ignorance would endorse
the idea of efficient fossil fuel use for egalitarian development, followed by climate-safe forms of energy an interesting analysis.
