About Joshua
Basseches’ research focuses on energy and climate policy and politics in the U.S. states, where most of the action in these policy areas has taken place thus far. He examines the roles of business interests, environmental and consumer advocacy organizations, and state-level policymakers in shaping the content of the policies that have emerged. He has previously served as a research assistant for faculty-led projects examining state-level incarceration policy and business-government relations.
