Some cities got a head start. Portland, Ore., which zeroed in on global warming beginning in 1993, has already slashed emissions by 13% per capita, partly by building light rail and 730 miles...
...particular to extracurriculars at Harvard, this phenomenon is a target of scientific research at the University, as well. I am presently part of a community of researchers (post-doctoral fellows and undergraduate thesis writers) at the Center for Public Leadership, part of the Kennedy School of Government. Under the leadership of Assistant Professor of Public Policy Todd L. Pittinsky, we conduct quantitative studies of intergroup “liking” in the laboratory and in the field.
