Juan Pablo Hoffmaister '07

Graduate Student

Where did you grow up?

San Jose, Costa Rica

Where do you live now?
This is a hard question to answer.  I'm enrolled in graduate school in Sweden and I am spending most of this year in Mozambique but when I say I am going 'home' I mean that I am heading to San Jose, Costa Rica.

What was your senior project?
Changing Climates: Exploring Adaptation to Climate Change in the International Legal System

What's your current job?
After a year-long Watson Fellowship spent traveling the world and conducting research on community response to climate change, I am currently enrolled in a graduate program in ecosystems and governance at the Stockholm Resilience Center-- University of Stockholm.  I am spending much of 2009 in Mozambique on a research project.

What do you want to make sure people know about COA?
I found COA to be a place for people ready to engage with their peers, community and world.
