Jessica A. Shoemaker
Jessica A. Shoemaker is a legal scholar whose work explores how property law shapes human communities and environmental conditions across the American countryside. At Radcliffe, she will write a book examining how property rules—shaped by ongoing collective choices—make and remake rural landscapes, including in contemporary conflicts over farmland transitions, energy infrastructure, and Indigenous land claims.
The Salata Institute
The Salata Institute supports interdisciplinary research that leads to real-world action, including high-risk/high-reward projects by researchers already working in the climate area and new endeavors that make it easier for Harvard scholars, who have not worked on climate problems, to do so. Faculty interested in the Climate Research Clusters program should note an upcoming deadline for concepts on April 1, 2024.
