I have chaired or served on numerous PhD and Masters’ graduate committees across a range of departments including Economics, History, Resource Economics and Policy, Spatial Information Science and Engineering, School of Marine Sciences, and Wildlife Ecology. RESEARCH EXPERIENCE AND INTERESTS My main research interests are in applied demography and socio-economic change and their implications for public policy. Current work is focused on the impact of demographic, economic and workforce trends and projections for higher education. At the Council of Graduate Schools I am working on two, major areas – career pathways of graduate students and the impact of student debt on graduate (and undergraduate) education. Recent research has been in human dimensions of the environment. A core focus was to develop theoretical understanding of how human activity propagates on regional and continental scales and to find ways to make quantitative predictions of future impacts on the basis of policy-relevant indicators. Other basic research has been into underlying environmental and socio-economic processes, involving three applied programs funded by major federal grants: 1) the effects of atmospheric deposition in watersheds in Maine; 2) a comparative study of the policy implications of sea level rise in California and Maine, and 3) policy responses to greenhouse gas emissions in Maine. Each of these projects had strong policy applications. See Grants, Publications and Presentations for the scope of these projects. An earlier area of research was in the field of social policy. My research in this area initially involved work on rural poverty trends and childhood hunger in Maine. Later work was on rural children’s mental health, examining the risk and protective factors for children growing up in rural areas to inform Maine and other rural mental health policy for children. Later work in this area was an analysis of Maine’s workforce, examining demographic changes and how these changes affect the nature of the workforce and economic development, particularly the ability to retain and attract industry. My early research was in the field of historical demography, particularly migration. This work examined inter alia the influence of natural resources on migration outflows nationally and regionally. The research 3 Deirdre M. Mageean, PhD yielded multiple publications and culminated in a 1997 book, Peasant Maids - City Women published by Cornell University Press.

  • An Ethnography of Climate Change in Maine
    Farms, Fish & Forests: An Ethnography of Climate Change in Maine Kathryn Ann Olson A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the department of Sociology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Boston College Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences Graduate School February 2021 © Copyright 2020 Kathryn Ann Olson Farms, Fish & Forests: An Ethnography of Climate Change in Maine Kathryn Ann Olson Advisor: Juliet B. Schor, Ph.D. Social science scholarship on climate change increasingly situates global climate change in the everyday experiences, practices, and knowledges of individuals and communities in local landscapes. Although climate change is a global phenomenon, it is experienced, negotiated, and adapted to at the local scale. In this dissertation, I situate and emplace global climate change in the everyday experiences and practices of people with land- and sea-based livelihoods in Maine. Maine is, in many ways, at the forefront of the climate crisis, and farmers, fishers and foresters—with their ongoing, intimate knowledge of and relations with particular places—are experiencing climate change and making meaning of its impacts. The aim of the dissertation, broadly conceived, is to particularize climate change and locate it in the embodied relations of people and places in Maine. I draw from several bodies of scholarship to locate the study of livelihoods and global climate change in Maine. First, I utilize the work of James O’Connor, Raymond Williams, and contemporary livelihoods scholars to position analysis of climate change impacts within broader historic relations of land and labor. Second, hybrid materialist perspectives, as well as relational perspectives on place, help to understand global climate change as a constellation of interrelated, but distinctly localized manifestations of a translocal process.

  • Draft Maine Climate Action Plan
    November 8, 2020 Dear Maine Climate Council members, Please find attached the draft final strategies of the Maine Climate Action Plan for your review. Thank you very much to everyone who has provided helpful feedback on the strategies. We’ve gotten a few questions about some of the detail being lost from the working group reports and want to clarify that the working group reports will be attached to the plan as appendices so that detail will be available to inform implementation. We will continue to edit for consistent voice and clarity, but these are the strategies we hope to approve as a council at our meeting next week. The attached draft also includes updated metrics and outcomes based on the final emissions modeling presented on November 2. We continue to refine the attached draft implementation chart, working with agencies to identify existing programs that can be leveraged, illustrate areas where there is a need for legislative action, administrative action, funding allocation, local government planning, etc. Improvements to come include a letter from the Governor, a letter from the co-chairs (which will set forth a vision), an executive summary that will summarize the report, and stories of Maine people, businesses and communities that will help to illustrate the strategies. We also plan to add a bit more detail to the draft about process, public input and anticipated future work of the council – one of our points of discussion at the upcoming Council meeting. Please review the draft final strategies and complete this survey by Tuesday COB so we can prepare for important discussions next Thursday.

  • Climate Change Adaptation Plan
    Allen-Whitney Memorial Forest: Climate Change Adaptation Plan By: Ethel Wilkerson1, Hector Galbraith1, Andrew Whitman1, & Si Balch2 1 Manomet Center for Conservation Sciences 2 New England Forestry Foundation Manomet Center for Conservation Sciences Executive Summary Alterations in temperature and precipitation patterns expected under climate change can impact forests in several ways including: shifting distributions of tree species and wildlife habitats northward or upslope, increasing the frequency and magnitude of disturbance events, introducing new invasive species and/or intensifying the impacts of invasive and non-native plant and pest species, altering the economic contributions of forests to the economy, and changing the way the public uses and values forest lands. We need to be able to adapt our management practices to the changing conditions to ensure that Maine’s forests continue to provide benefits for future generations. Adaptation to climate change consists of developing strategies and The goal of climate management options that will help landowners plan and prepare for the changing climate. In this document we outline practical and cost-effective change adaptation adaptation strategies for Allen-Whitney forest that can reduce a wide-range of risks associated with a changing climate. in working forests Adaptation Strategy #1: Maintain species, structural, and age class diversity. Sustainable management strategies that maintain species, structural, and age is not to stop class diversity are important in the face of climate change because they can create a mosaic of habitats for existing wildlife species and new species that changes in climate may shift into the area, diversify stands with species and age classes that are less vulnerable, protect against wide-spread damage and financial loss due to or preserve the disturbance events, and create economic opportunities by managing for species that are well-suited to changing climatic conditions.
