Jackson graduate student Patrick Pryor spent his summer in Jakarta, Indonesia, as a policy research intern with the Center for Indonesian Policy Studies (@cips_id). Patrick`s focus was on analyzing the educational challenges in rural and remote Indonesia, particularly in East Nusa Tenggara. His research delved into the region`s socio-economic hardships, infrastructural limitations, and cultural barriers to education. Drawing from successful educational models in Southeast Asia and the U.S., he developed strategic recommendations to improve academic outcomes in the region. His research will be published by CIPS, and Patrick hopes his findings will contribute to meaningful policy changes in Indonesia, ultimately reaching the hands of policymakers to make a positive impact in the region.
Patrick also met up with Jackson classmate Rania Putri and alum Dira Tiarasari Fabrian in Jakarta!
This summer, Jackson grad student Prajval Jhunjhunwala worked as the conservation finance lead at C Minds`s (@cminds_co) initiative NaturaTech LAC (@naturatechlac), where he worked to build innovative financing models for tech-enabled wildlife and nature conservation, specifically targeting the jaguar and whale bio-corridor regions across Latin America and the Carribean. Based in Merida, Mexico, he visited the forested regions of Rio Lagartos and Área Natural Protegida Reserva Estatal Dzilam. Prajval also attended the Natural Capital Symposium at Stanford University, assisted with the launch of the NaturaTech LAC initiative at the Inter-American Development Bank headquarters in Washington, and traveled to Placencia, Belize, to observe a vertically-integrated regenerative farm aiming to integrate natural conservation with traditional economic activities. The work also gave Prajval the unique opportunity to work directly with indigenous leaders and peoples who are at the frontline of environmental stewardship in Mexico, Ecuador, and Colombia.
This summer, Jackson grad student Öznur Öztürk interned with the @actonclimateus organization as a Bekenstein Climate Fellow with @environmentyale. Based in Washington D.C., CAC is a vibrant coalition of a dozen major national environmental organizations including NRDC, EDF and Sierra Club. Öznur led several projects on different topics including federal climate finance, extreme weather events and strategic planning for climate action.
