The Muskie School of Public Service is pleased to invite you to a meet and greet with Professor David Oliver Kasdan, who has recently joined the University of Southern Maine as the AVANGRID-David Flanagan Endowed Professor of Public Policy.
This informal gathering is an opportunity to introduce Prof. Kasdan to the professional community across southern Maine, including colleagues working in environmental policy, municipal and state government, planning, sustainability, and the broader public sector.
Prof. Kasdan’s research focuses on the intersection of public policy, governance, and environmental justice. During the event, he will offer a brief overview of his work, followed by a short, interactive discussion on:
How Should We ____ Maine? Save, Defend, Preserve, Improve, or Optimize?
We hope you will join us for this opportunity to connect, exchange ideas, and welcome Prof. Kasdan to Maine’s professional and policy community.
See you there,
Muskie School of Public Service
