28 | Looking back on the Siân Mooney Era at O'Neill
For the past seven years, Siân Mooney has served as the dean of the O’Neill School, leading the school through its most prestigious era in its half-century of history.<br /><br />First and foremost, there is the recognition from U.S. News and World Report, which ranks the O’Neill School’s Master of Public Affairs program as the top graduate program of its kind in the nation. Along with the top-ranked MPA, four concentrations at the O’Neill School, including environmental management and policy, health policy and management, nonprofit management, and public finance and budgeting also are ranked No. 1. Additionally, multiple other concentrations rank in the top 10 in the country, including the nonprofit management programs at O’Neill’s Bloomington and Indianapolis campuses holding the top two rankings in the country.<br /><br />Beyond the rankings, Dean Mooney has guided the school through record enrollment, the establishment of the Environment, Society, and Sustainability Institute, eight new degrees and certificates across IU Bloomington and IUI, more than $60 million in awards since 2019, more than $24 million in raised gifts, a growing portfolio of international partnerships, the hiring of 53 faculty members, including 37 tenure-track faculty members… the list goes on and on.<br /><br />But all great times must come to a close, and this spring, Dean Mooney announced she would be pursuing her next chapter and stepping down as dean effective June 30. We’re thrilled to have Dean Mooney—who was the first-ever guest of O’Neill Speaks—join us to talk about her time at O’Neill, what her experience was like, and what’s next.

27 | The O'Neill Sustainability Internship w/McKenzie Jones, Mae Allen, and Jessica Davis
Sustainability has long stopped being just a corporate buzzword or nice elective. It’s a critical part of planning in just about every aspect of our lives, the fundamental operating system for a world facing rapid climate shifts and resource scarcity. It’s about building systems that are regenerative rather than just extractive, ensuring that our progress today doesn’t become a debt for the generation of tomorrow.<br /><br />And the generation of tomorrow is already playing their part.<br /><br />At the O’Neill School on both our Bloomington and Indianapolis campuses, sustainability interns conduct holistic assessments of the O’Neill School and its operations to identify areas where improvement is needed.<br /><br />Studying things isn’t enough. Awareness is critical, as well, and the group has built a website to allow stakeholders to understand where and how improvements can make a difference.<br /><br />O’Neill Speaks is joined today by McKenzie Jones, Mae Allen, and Jessica Davis. McKenzie is the Bloomington Sustainability Intern at O’Neill is a second-year graduate student working toward a Master of Public Administration as well as a Master of Environmental Science with a concentration in Energy and Climate Change Solutions. Mae is the O’Neill sustainability intern on the IU Indianapolis campus pursuing a degree in sustainable practices and policy. Jessica is IU’s Associate Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer and is an associate faculty member at the O’Neill School.<br /><br />Visit the O’Neill Sustainability website at <a href="https://blogs.iu.edu/oneillsustainability/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://blogs.iu.edu/oneillsustainability/</a>

26 | "Power Lines: The Human Cost of American Energy in Transition" with David Konisky
As climate change continues to wreak havoc across the globe, how best to combat the issue remains a topic of hot debate.<br /><br />In the United States, the vision of a green-energy future is entangled with complex realities. Aging infrastructure strains under modern demands, the adoption of new technologies remains uneven and fragmented, and many households struggle to secure reliable, affordable energy. Too often, Americans are left out of the decisions that determine how power is produced and distributed, leaving energy in America a matter of race, class, and wealth.<br /><br />We’re joined today by Lynton K. Caldwell Professor David Konisky, who is co-author along with former O’Neill School faculty member Sanya Carley, of the new book “Power Lines: The Human Costs of American Energy in Transition.”<br /><br />David’s research and teaching focuses on U.S. environmental policy and politics, with emphasis on environmental and energy justice, regulation, federalism, and public attitudes. Konisky is a founding co-director of the Energy Justice Lab, a research collaboration between Indiana University and the University of Pennsylvania to explore, measure, and improve the equity and justice dimensions of society’s ongoing energy transition.
