Did you know?

Andrew has published articles on environmental politics in three languages.

He has participated in public debate (against another faculty member teaching in the ESST progam) on "Capitalism's Growth Ethic:  The Greatest Threat to the Contemporary Environment?"

He uses simulations in a variety of courses to give students "hands-on" experiences of large-scale political issues, from running US Presidential election campaigns to negotiating rules for global water trade.

Andrew has had his roof leak and his basement flood while giving presentations on "water scarcity".
