CPR Scholar Biographies

FRANK ACKERMAN

Current Position: Dr. Ackerman is the Director of the Research and Policy Program at the Global Development and Environment Institute at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts.

Expertise: Dr. Ackerman is an economist with extensive experience in analyzing the economics of waste, pollution, and energy. He has written widely on the limitations of cost-benefit analysis and market-based environmental policies, the environmental impacts of free trade, and alternative approaches to economic theory.

Real World Experience: As a senior researcher at the Tellus Institute in Boston (1985-95), Ackerman worked as an expert witness and consultant for numerous state agencies involved in energy regulation, the development of solid waste policies, and other issues. He has worked extensively with EPA's Office of Solid Waste; at their request, he wrote the first draft of the interagency statement, "Recycling...for the Future: Consider the Benefits." The statement was published by the White House Task Force on Recycling, and distributed by the Office of the Federal Environmental Executive until 2001. He co-authored three recent reports (lead author on two) to the North American Commission on Environmental Cooperation, on environmental impacts of economic integration under NAFTA. He also directed a recent study for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, analyzing the data submitted by national agencies on greenhouse gas emissions from waste management activities.

Ackerman has worked closely with environmental advocates on a number of issues, including: detailed comments on arsenic regulation, and on stormwater runoff regulation, developed with the Natural Resources Defense Council; analysis of Clean Water Act 316(b) regulations (governing power plant cooling water intake systems) developed with Riverkeeper; ongoing work on the economics of replacing toxic chemicals, with Coming Clean, the national anti-PVC coalition, and with the Alliance for a Healthy Tomorrow, a Massachusetts anti-toxics coalition; and critiques of the environmental impacts of current and proposed free trade treaties, in cooperation with groups concerned about the impacts of globalization.

Work Experience: After receiving a PhD in economics from Harvard University, Dr. Ackerman began his career as a founder and editor of Dollars & Sense magazine, writing monthly commentaries on the state of the U.S. economy. He subsequently taught economics at the University of Massachusetts. At Tellus Institute from 1985 to 1995, he was frequently an expert witness on energy regulation; he was also one of the developers of a Third World energy planning model, which he used in Brazil and Zambia. Other work at Tellus included economic analysis of solid waste planning options for state agencies, for New York City and other municipalities, and for international agencies. Dr. Ackerman was the principal investigator for Tellus Institute's widely cited life cycle analysis of the comparative environmental impacts of packaging materials.

Since 1995, at Tufts University's Global Development and Environment Institute (GDAE), Ackerman has served as director and lead editor for several volumes of the institute's Frontier Issues in Economic Thought series; he has taught statistics, introductory economics, and environmental economics in the Tufts graduate program in public policy; and he has launched GDAE's Research and Policy program, applying the institute's alternative, socially and environmentally engaged perspective on economics to practical policy issues.

Publications: Dr. Ackerman's 1997 book, Why Do We Recycle? Markets, Values, and Public Policy, has developed an international reputation for its analysis of the economic and environmental meaning of recycling. His article about the mathematical inconsistency in mainstream economic theory, "Still Dead After All These Years," published in 2002, was widely circulated in pre-publication form among critics of conventional economics. He was one of the contributing authors to the Third Assessment Report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2001. Notable recent publications include "Pricing the Priceless: Cost-Benefit Analysis of Environmental Protection," jointly with Lisa Heinzerling (published in the University of Pennsylvania Law Review in 2002, and voted one of the ten best environmental and land use law review articles of the year); and "Prospering With Precaution," jointly with Rachel Massey.

Ackerman is co-author of three books under contract with major publishers, playing an active role in the first two. His collaboration with Lisa Heinzerling (which has already produced several articles and working papers, and a widely distributed report on the limits of cost-benefit analysis) is leading to publication of their book, Priceless: Human Health, the Environment, and the Limits of the Market, by the New Press in January 2004. Ackerman and Alejandro Nadal, an economist at El Colegio de Mexico, are producing a book of their collected papers on the critique of conventional economic theory, The Flawed Foundations of General Equilibrium: Critical Essays on Economic Theory, to be published by Routledge in 2004. He is also a co-author of GDAE's forthcoming textbook, Microeconomics in Context, to be published by Houghton-Mifflin.

Other Information: Ackerman's concerns and commitments extend beyond his professional focus on the environment. His public speaking in the Boston area includes remarks in opposition to the war in Iraq, and in support of the (successful) Tufts University "justice for janitors" campaign. He is the father of two wonderful daughters, and an amateur jazz trumpet player.

RICHARD N. L. (PETE) ANDREWS

Current position: Professor Andrews is the Thomas Willis Lambeth Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Public Policy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, with joint appointments in the Departments of Environmental Sciences and Engineering and City and Regional Planning, and the Carolina Environmental Program.

Expertise: Professor Andrews has taught and written on environmental policy in the United States and elsewhere for over thirty-five years, particularly on the history of U.S. environmental policy, the National Environmental Policy Act and environmental impact assessment, the use of risk and cost-benefit analysis in government decision-making, and most recently the use of environmental management systems by businesses and government.

Professional experience: Professor Andrews has served on several professional study committees of the National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council, the National Academy of Public Administration, and other advisory groups to government. He is currently a member of the National Research Council's Committee on Human Dimensions of Global Change, and previously on its Panel on Environmental Decision-making and on the Environmental Stewardship Advisory Committee to the State of North Carolina. He chaired the Panel on U.S. Registration Practices for ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems, sponsored by U.S. EPA under the auspices of the National Academy of Public Administration, as well as the Advisory Panel on New Approaches to Environmental Regulation of the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment (1994-95). He served on the Risk Reduction Strategies Subcommittee of the EPA Science Advisory Board (1990), and on the influential 1994-95 National Academy of Public Administration study panel on EPA (Setting Priorities, Getting Results). He chaired the NRC Panel on Opportunities in Applied Environmental Research and Development (1988-91), and served on NRC's Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology.

Work and Government Experience: Professor Andrews directed UNC's Institute for Environmental Studies for ten years, and subsequently chaired the Environmental Management and Policy Program in its Department of Environmental Sciences and Engineering; from 1997 to 2000 he served as elected Chair of the University Faculty. Prior to joining the UNC faculty in 1981, he served for nine years on the faculty of the University of Michigan School of Natural Resources, where he chaired its Natural Resource Policy and Management Program, and previously as a budget examiner in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget and as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Nepal. He also staffed the environmental policy committee of the Governor's Commission on the Future of North Carolina (1982-84). In the course of his research and professional service on environmental policy, he has served as a consultant or advisor to numerous government agencies including among others the Environmental Protection Agency, Council on Environmental Quality, Army Corps of Engineers, Agency for International Development, and General Accounting Office.

Publications: Professor Andrews' overarching research interests concern whether government policy incentives produce better environmental outcomes, and whether requirements for more detailed information and analysis produce better environmental policies. His book Managing the Environment, Managing Ourselves: A History of American Environmental Policy (Yale 1999,. 2nd edition 2006) links current environmental policies both to their historical roots and to their origins in natural resource and infrastructure development, conservation, public health, and the larger course of American history and governance. An earlier book, Environmental Policy and Administrative Change: The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (Lexington, 1976), showed that NEPA's effectiveness resulted primarily from increased access to information by other affected agencies, state governments, and the public, rather than from more systematic analysis within the sponsoring agency as the law's authors had envisioned its effects. Professor Andrews also has written on environmental impact assessment, cost-benefit analysis of environmental regulations, and risk assessment, on policies for hazardous waste facility siting, and on long-term planning and policy reform by EPA.

Professor Andrews' recent research addresses the effects of public policies as incentives for environmental decisions by businesses, particularly "voluntary" approaches such as "self-regulation" by environmental management systems. He directed the National Database on Environmental Management Systems, a five-year longitudinal study of EMS implementation which suggested that government technical assistance programs might most effectively emphasize improving internal management capacity in government facilities and in private firms that do not have access to corporate resources (http://ndems.cas.unc.edu/). More recent research included a study of corporate and business customer mandates for environmental management systems, investigating impacts of such mandates and other factors on environmental and business performance across 3,200 facilities in four industrial sectors; results of this research suggest that while EMSs are useful in many respects, they are no guarantee of environmental performance improvements, and policy rewards should therefore be based on environmental performance measures rather than on EMS adoption per se. He also has collaborated on comparative studies of EMS impacts in the U.S. and in other countries that export to U.S. markets.

Other information: Professor Andrews earned his undergraduate degree from Yale, and professional master's degree in regional planning and Ph.D. in environmental policy and planning from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is a Fellow of the National Academy of Public Administration and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a member of Sigma Xi, the Delta Omega Public Health Honor Society, and the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management. He served twice as chair of AAAS's Section on Societal Impacts of Science and Engineering, and as a member of its Committee on Science, Engineering and Public Policy. He has testified as an expert witness before the U.S. Senate on the implementation of NEPA and the performance of the Council on Environmental Quality.

JOHN APPLEGATE

Current Position: Professor Applegate is Walter W. Foskett Professor of Law and currently serves as Presidential Fellow Presidential Fellow in the Office of the President of Indiana University, on leave from his position as Executive Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at the Indiana University School of Law - Bloomington. He is a member of the board of directors of the Center for Progressive Reform.

Areas of Expertise: Professor Applegate's research and teaching have focused on environmental law, specifically risk assessment and the regulation of toxic substances and hazardous waste. He teaches or has taught the environmental law survey course, international environmental law, environmental justice, toxic torts, and Superfund. He has also taught administrative law, which is the procedural foundation for environmental law, as well as torts and property, which are substantively allied subjects.

Real World Experience: Since 1993, Professor Applegate has been deeply involved in advising the U.S. Department of Energy on the environmental clean-up of the nuclear weapons complex. He chaired a path-breaking citizens advisory board at the Fernald facility in southwestern Ohio, which resulted in a consensus plan for environmental remediation which met legal standards, satisfied citizen concerns, sped clean-up, and saved approximately $2 billion over original estimates. The Fernald advisory board and clean-up plan became a model for sites throughout the United States. Professor Applegate also served on the DOE Environmental Management Advisory Board from 1994-2001, advising the Assistant Secretary on numerous aspects of the national clean-up program, including the use of risk, public participation, and the long-term management of residual contamination. He has continued his involvement with these issues as a member of National Research Council/National Academy of Sciences committees on the long-term management of radioactive waste and the management of DOE’s high-level nuclear waste.

Work and Government Experience: Following a federal appellate clerkship, Professor Applegate worked in the private sector for a major Washington, D.C., law firm, specializing in environmental and other regulatory matters, in particular, FIFRA and TSCA. He also took a six-month sabbatical to work at a neighborhood law office of the Neighborhood Legal Services Program in D.C., working on housing and consumer protection matters. As noted above, Professor Applegate served as an advisor to the U.S. Department of Energy on environmental clean-up.

Publications: Professor Applegate's writing follows his teaching and "real world" activities closely. He has written extensively on the use and misuse of risk assessment in environmental, safety, and health regulation. He is the lead author of the only law casebook to deal exclusively and comprehensively with the statutes that regulate toxic substances and hazardous wastes, and he is at work on a second edition. Drawing in part on his DOE experience, he has written a series of articles on various phases of the environmental remediation process under the Superfund statute (CERCLA), including placing sites on the National Priorities List, the consideration of short-term risks in remediation decisions, public participation in remediation decisions, and the long-term management of residual contamination at Superfund sites. His most recent work has focused on the new European Union chemicals regulation, known as REACH, and on the Precautionary Principle, a core concept in international and European environmental law, whose introduction into the United States is stoutly resisted by corporate and industrial interests.

Other information: Professor Applegate is widely recognized in the radioactive clean-up world for his leadership in public participation. He has spoken to numerous environmental organizations, testified before Congress, and lectured to international audiences on this and related topics. He has been a peer reviewer for several studies and publications relating to these areas (soil clean-up levels, site risk assessment projects), including a number by the National Research Council/National Academy of Sciences.

WILLIAM W. BUZBEE

Current Position: Professor Buzbee is a Professor of Law and Director of the Environmental and Natural Resources Law Program at Emory Law School. He is also a director of Emory’s new Center on Federalism and Intersystemic Governance. He was a Visiting Professor of Law at Columbia Law School during the Spring Semester of 2003 as well as a Visiting Professor of Law at Cornell Law School, teaching a short course during the Fall of 2006. He also taught for Columbia and Amsterdam Law Schools in 2003, 2005 and 2007 for their Amsterdam summer program on American Law.

Expertise: Professor Buzbee has taught, lectured, and written in the areas of administrative law, environmental law, land use, federalism, and statutory interpretation since he joined the faculty at Emory Law School in 1993.

Real World Experience: While in academia, Professor Buzbee's scholarship on federalism, regulatory reform legislation, citizen enforcement of environmental laws, legislative design and interpretation, and urban sprawl policy has led to numerous invitations to speak and share draft papers around the country with other academics and government leaders.

His scholarly work has been substantially influenced by his employment as an attorney-fellow at the Natural Resources Defense Council and, more significantly, his work for a decade as the Vice President and Litigation Committee Chair of the Georgia Center for Law in the Public Interest, the most active public interest environmental law firm and litigator in Georgia. In that capacity, he was substantially involved in all aspects of the influential litigation commenced against the federal government to prod Georgia to start fulfilling its obligations to protect water quality under the so-called TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load) portions of the federal Clean Water Act. He has also been involved in recent multi-faceted efforts to compel state and federal authorities in Georgia to issue permits complying with rigorous obligations under the Clean Air Act. Professor Buzbee also secured funding for and launched Emory’s Turner Environmental Law Clinic. He serves as the chair of its Advisory Committee and oversees hiring for the Clinic. Professor Buzbee also informally consulted regarding regulatory and litigation strategies with public interest and government attorneys prior to recent years’ wave of New Source Review cases challenging the legality of power plant operations at facilities that had upgraded without simultaneously improving their air pollution control efforts.

During 2006, Professor Buzbee co-authored an amicus brief for a bipartisan group of four former EPA Administrators for the important Clean Water Act case, Rapanos v. United States. That involvement also led to his 2006 testimony before a United States Senate subcommittee exploring the implications of the Rapanos decision and appropriate legislative and regulatory responses. He will provide related testimony before a congressional committee during December 2006 regarding the proposed Clean Water Restoration Act.

Work and Government Experience: Professor Buzbee became a professor after clerking for a federal judge, working as an attorney-fellow at the Natural Resources Defense Council, and practicing in the private sector at Patterson, Belknap, Webb & Tyler in New York City, where his work focused on environmental law, land use, regulatory and litigation matters. Much of his work while at Patterson was for public authority clients. He also handled a substantial number of pro bono matters involving issues of environmental justice, civil rights, and constitutional rights. While in private practice, he also counseled industrial clients on Clean Air Act amendments, transactional liability issues, hazardous waste liabilities, and land use procedures and environmental concerns. Both in those earlier employment settings and in his work for the Georgia Center for Law in the Public Interest and The Turner Environmental Law Clinic at Emory Law School, Professor Buzbee has been involved with counseling and litigating on behalf of dozens of environmental not-for-profits. He has also been active in improving environmental education and environmental performance at Emory University, heading the University Senate's Committee on the Environment, working with several task forces making recommendations about university environmental performance, and also serving on a committee that designed Emory's new undergraduate Environmental Studies Department.

Publications: Professor Buzbee has published a wide array of articles and book chapters on numerous public law and regulation topics. He is the editor and a contributor to the forthcoming Cambridge University Press book, “Preemption Choice; The Theory, Law, and Reality of Federalism’s Core Question. His publications in recent years have been published in Stanford Law Review, New York University Law Review, University of Pennsylvania Law Review, Michigan Law Review, Cornell Law Review, The Administrative Law Review, and an array of other journals, including the environmental journals at top law schools such at NYU and Duke. His articles have been repeatedly selected as among the top 30 environmental law articles in their years of publication and three of his articles were republished as one of the best ten such articles in their year’s issue of Land Use & Environment Law Review. He also wrote the first two chapters in the prize-winning treatise entitled Brownfields Law & Practice (M. Gerrard, ed.). His series of articles and book contributions on urban sprawl and smart growth policy have been particularly influential, frequently cited in others' related scholarship and leading to numerous speaking invitations at other law schools and before government leaders. In 2006, he joined as a textbook co-author with Robert Glicksman (also a CPR member-scholar) and several others for the new edition of Environmental Protection: Law and Policy (5th Edition 2007).

CARL F. CRANOR

Current Position: Professor Cranor is a Professor of Philosophy at the University of California, Riverside and a participating faculty member in Environmental Toxicology.

Expertise: Professor Cranor's generic specialization is in legal and moral philosophy. His research for the past 18 years has been on theoretical issues that arise in the legal and scientific adjudication of risks from toxic substances and from the new genetic technologies. He has taught courses to undergraduates and graduate students on environmental ethics, philosophy of law, justice, the history of ethics, the moral philosophy of Immanuel Kant and John Stuart Mill, philosophical issues in torts and in the criminal law, the regulation of toxic substances, and issues concerning the use of science in regulation and the tort law.

Real World Experience: As a result of his research Professor Cranor has been invited to give presentations to the practicing bar, governmental officials, public interest groups, a Centers for Disease Control project, as well as a national security project and some other professional groups. He has done some work as an expert witness and as consultant to a few law firms. He was also a co-author of an Amicus Brief in the U.S. Supreme Court Dow Chemical Co., Monsanto Co., et. al. vs Stephenson and Issacson (2003) [the recent "Agent Orange" Litigation].

Work and Government Experience: Professor Cranor was a Congressional Fellow and a consultant at the Office of Technology Assessment and has served on peer review panels at the National Science Foundation, the University of California Toxic Substances Research and Teaching Program, the UC Biotechnology Research and Teaching Program, and the Coordinating Board of the University of California Water Resources Center.

His expertise has led to service on two Science Advisory Panels-the State of California's Proposition 65 Science Advisory Panel (1989-1992) and on the California Department of Health and Human Services' Electric and Magnetic Fields Science Advisory Panel (1999-2002). He was a member of the National Academy of Sciences Panel to Czechoslovakian Academy of Sciences (1990) and currently serves on the Institute of Medicine's Committee to Evaluate Measures of Health Benefits for Environmental, Health and Safety Regulation.

Publications: Professor Cranor has published widely on the use of science in the regulatory and tort law and given numerous presentations to legal, scientific, philosophic and public interest groups. He published Regulating Toxic Substances: A Philosophy of Science and the Law (Oxford University Press, 1993, paperback 1997), edited Are Genes Us? The Social Consequences of the New Genetics (Rutgers University Press, 1994) and co-authored the U.S. Congress' Office of Technology Assessment Report, Identifying and Regulating Carcinogens (1987). Regulating Toxic Substances discussed some of the tensions between science and the law and argued for the sensitive use of science in legal venues to prevent science from being used as a weapon on one side of the law and to avoid distorting the aims of the law. Identifying and Regulating Carcinogens, reviewed the Executive Branch's regulation of carcinogens through its various agencies and found that that fewer than one-half of the carcinogens under the authority of agencies had been addressed in regulation. His articles have appeared in philosophic, scientific and law journals, including The American Philosophical Quarterly, Ethics, Law and Philosophy, Science and Engineering Ethics, The Yale Law Journal, The Industrial Relations Law Journal, Risk Analysis, Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology, Risk: Health, Safety and the Environment, the Virginia Environmental Law Journal, Jurimetrics, Law and Contemporary Problems, Plant Physiology, the European Journal of Oncology, the American Journal of Public Health.

Real World Experience: Professor Foster has provided legal advice and expertise to a number of grassroots environmental justice organizations in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. For example, she was part of the litigation team suing on behalf of a community group in Camden, New Jersey claiming environmental racism in the placement of a cement recycling plant in their heavily polluted neighborhood. That case, South Camden Citizens in Action vs. New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection was appealed to the United States Supreme Court in 2002. She currently represents another community group, West Harlem Environmental Action, in its pending administrative complaint against the Metropolitan Transit Authority in New York City.

Simultaneously, while teaching, she also advised and assisted in conducting studies of marketplace discrimination for various local agencies attempting to re-examine their Minority and Woman Business affirmative action programs after a 1989 U.S. Supreme Court decision rendered those programs constitutionally suspect. These studies were crucial to many agencies' ability to re-construct, and hence retain, their affirmative action contracting programs in a constitutionally permissible fashion.

Publications: Professor Foster's primary scholarly focus is dedicated to exploring the intersection of civil rights and environmental law, in a field called "environmental justice." The movement for environmental justice has called attention to the widespread inequitable distribution of a variety of environmental hazards (hazardous wastes, air pollution, lead, etc.) on low-income and minority communities. Professor Foster's scholarship carefully delineates the role of environmental regulation in both producing and alleviating this inequitable distribution. Professor Foster is the author of numerous publications on environmental justice in top law journals as well as chapters in various books on the subject. She is also the co-author of a NYU Press book, From the Ground Up: Environmental Racism and the Rise of the Environmental Justice Movement (2001).

In between serving as a law clerk and as an Assistant Attorney General, Heinzerling practiced fair housing law for a small public interest firm in Chicago, as one of the first class of Skadden public interest fellows. In addition to teaching at Georgetown, Heinzerling has also taught as a visiting professor at the Harvard and Yale law schools.

Publications: Professor Heinzerling has published widely in the fields of environmental law and regulatory policy. In more than 20 law review articles and in a book, she has made the case for protective health, safety, and environmental standards by emphasizing the multiple values promoted by such standards, including human life and health, nonhuman species, freedom, fairness, and community. In doing so, she has also criticized economic analysis of health, safety, and environmental regulation for its reductive focus on human life as the only value promoted by regulation and for its use of valuation techniques (such as translating lives and health into dollars) that distort and confuse public debate over regulation. In four of the past eight years, articles by Professor Heinzerling have been chosen by peers in the field as among the ten best environmental and land use articles of the year.

Other Information: Professor Heinzerling's scholarship debunking the myths that health and environmental regulation frequently requires the expenditure of millions or even billions of dollars for every human life saved, and frequently endangers human life through these expenditures, has helped to revive the case for protective regulation.

With Professor Sidney A. Shapiro, Professor McGarity designed and helped initiate a rulemaking prioritization process for OSHA rulemaking during the early 1990s. As a consultant to OTA, Professor McGarity helped write the "Regulatory Tools" report that agencies have frequently cited in designing regulatory programs. As a consultant to the Texas Department of Agriculture, McGarity was a primary draftsperson of that agency's first farmworker protection regulations in the late 1980s. During the mid-1990s, he was also actively involved in the drafting of and negotiations surrounding the federal Food Quality Protection Act.

Professor McGarity has also participated in path-breaking legal challenges to government inaction like Environmental Defense Fund v. Blum (a challenge to EPA's decision to allow further use of the carcinogenic pesticide mirex through emergency use exemptions) and Les v. Reilly (a challenge to EPA's failure to establish protective tolerances for eight carcinogenic pesticides).
