Paul Rogé, PhD Michigan State University 1405 S Harrison Rd, Rm 218 East Lansing, MI 48823 Phone: Email: Homepage: (831) 818-4769 [email protected] http://nature.berkeley.edu/~proge See pages 3 – 5 for the 24 publications and presentations that I authored and am drafting. Education Ph.D., UC Berkeley, 2013 Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management (ESPM) Guiding Professor: Miguel A. Altieri Dissertation Title: Rainfed Agriculture and Climatic Variability in Oaxaca, Mexico (link) My dissertation documented adaptation of rainfed agroecosystems to climatic variability in the semiarid, subtropical highlands of Southern Mexico. Participatory research with a farmer-led association, el Centro de Desarrollo Integral Campesino de la Mixteca Alta (CEDICAM), evaluated the ability of their farms to cope with climatic variability. These activities supported CEDICAM’s farmer field school program. During this time, I lived with agropastoralists and participated in many of their daily activities.

Agroecological research for the project, Perennial Grain Crops for African Smallholder Farming Systems led by Dr. Sieglinde Snapp. I conducted semi-structured interviews with farmers in Mali and Malawi to understand the perennial attributes of their farming systems. This research supports initial plant breeding research by the Land Institute and ICRISAT - Mali to develop perennial sorghum, as well as over 15 years of projects to promote the adoption of perennial pigeon pea in Malawi. Curriculum Vitae: Paul Rogé, PhD 2 Field Experience 2006-2007 Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Project Manager. Agriculture and LandBased Training Association (ALBA), Salinas, CA.

A student-run composting collective that provided organic waste management services to the UC Berkeley campus community. Berkeley Worms was my training ground for collective organizing. During my three-year engagement with Berkeley Worms, I learned important skills, such as consensus decision making, public speaking, listening to different perspectives, and sharing leadership roles. I also learned to successfully negotiate contracts and manage project operations. 2003 As an undergraduate, I participated in the Consortium on Agroecology and Sustainable Rural Development (CASRD) at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) – Brazil.

Urban Agroecology Short Course, June 24-28 was a short course aimed at bridging UC Berkeley research on urban agriculture and community activism in the East Bay. 2013 Graduate Instructor, UC Berkeley. ESPM C183/EEP C183 Forest Ecosystem Management was a capstone course for forestry majors that taught quantitative and qualitative tools for forest management and planning to meet multiple objectives. 2010 Graduate Instructor, UC Berkeley. ESPM 151 Society Culture and Environment studied feminist, post-colonial, and indigenous critiques of science and technology. 2010 Coordinator, UC Berkeley. ESPM 298 Complex Systems and Sustainability Analysis was a seminar that I organized for leading international researchers on sustainability analysis, complexity theory, and environmental problem solving.
