A Note from Darrin Magee, the New Director of IES
I'm a scholar of China's electrical system, with a particular interest in environmental and social impacts of large-scale hydropower, as well as the challenges and potential of renewables integration. I am thrilled to take on the directorship of the Institute for Energy Studies, where I look forward to helping prepare students for leadership roles in the energy transition.
Prior to joining Western, I taught courses on energy, garbage, and industrial impacts in East Asia as a professor of environmental studies at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, New York. I also led study abroad programs in Australia, China, and Mongolia.
I completed my BS and BA in mathematics and French at Louisiana State University, along with my MA and PhD in China Studies and Geography at the University of Washington.
