Joint Collaboration between GCSU MPA and University of Pittsburgh MPA Programs

We are excited to announce that the Energy and the Environment Blog is now an intercollegiate collaboration between the MPA program at Georgia College and State University and the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs (GSPIA) at the University of Pittsburgh! The partnership extends the collaboration between Dr. Max Harleman (GSPIA Ph.D. and MPA alumnus, and Assistant Professor at Georgia College) and Dr. Jeremy Weber (Associate Professor at GSPIA, who founded the blog at GSPIA). The Blog provides commentary and analysis that furthers understanding of Energy and Environmental issues of public interest. Faculty and students in any department at GCSU or the University of Pittsburgh are eligible to submit posts to be considered by the editors for inclusion in the blog. The blog gives authors space to make an argument, explore data, or explain a current event in more depth than a news article but with less rigor and detail than an academic article. The first post from Georgia College is coauthored between Mary Spears, a recent graduate of the Georgia College MPA program, and Max Harleman.
