"Fracked Ideologies," co-authored by Jordan M Kincaid, EP '13, published at Science Progress about the fracking debate and the future of politics
Jordan M. Kincaid is a Visiting Fellow at the University of North Texas Center for the Study of Interdisciplinarity and a current second year student in Environmental Policy at Bard CEP. Kincaid and Adam Briggle write about the current vehement debate regarding hydraulic fracturing and the surprising divisions of the pro- and anti-fracking factions at Science Progress. Instead of dividing on traditional left or right party lines, they have observed that people's personal opinions of fracking are based on more complex issues. As a result, they will be conducting empirical research to determine if people's position on fracking can be explained by proactionary and precautionary positions. Science Progress is an online journal encompassing the intersection of science, technology and public policy and is managed by the Center for American Progress.

Meet Our Faculty
Gautam Sethi teaches environmental and natural resource economics at Bard CEP. His research includes institutional mechanisms to improve water quality in Oaxaca, Mexico, and the impact of wind farms on residential property values in the U.S.
“What I value most about Bard CEP is its ability to challenge and reshape one’s views. I am constantly challenged, by my colleagues and students, to think of the world in ways I had not hitherto, and I hope to have a similar effect on their worldview.”—Gautam Sethi, Associate Professor, Bard CEP
Monique Segarra, assistant professor of politics, teaches environmental policy analysis and climate politics. Her research focuses on the intersection of natural resource management, climate change, and human rights in the global south and the politics of water reform in Oaxaca, Mexico.
“Working with graduate students at CEP has enriched my work as a political scientist. The interdisciplinary nature of the program deepens our students’ ability to analyze and think about the policy process and how the key driver of our time, climate change and adaptation, is shaping our future policy choices.”
