The Center for Progressive Reform consists of a full-time staff and more than 60 Member Scholars who volunteer their time to support and provide independent policy research, advocacy, congressional testimony, legal insight and analysis, and more.
Our Scholars represent dozens of colleges and universities in every region of the country. They live and work in big cities and small towns, on the coasts and in the heartland, and in about half the states — including blue, purple, and red ones.
Alice Kaswan is a Professor at the University of San Francisco School of Law and a longtime Member Scholar at the Center. She is an expert on climate change and environmental justice and has written and spoken widely about climate federalism, addressing the appropriate roles of federal, state, and local governments in mitigating and adapting to climate change. Her work also explores the intersection between environmental justice and climate change policies. Most recently, Professor Kaswan brought her expertise to the Center’s California climate justice project, publishing a web-based climate justice index and a report series on climate funding and equity in the state with Policy Analyst Catalina Gonzalez. The report series was featured by Climate Nexus.
