Garin Bulger, MPP, joined the Environmental Analysis & Communications Group (EAC) in June 2022 as a Research Analyst. Coming from the Bloustein School of Planning and Policy, Garin was an Eagleton Graduate Fellow who spent his fellowship at the Department of Environmental Protection in the Office of Science and Policy researching climate justice-related issues. During his two years of studies, Garin worked on a wide range of policy areas, including climate change, environmental justice, anti-discrimination, international relations, housing, homelessness, and technology. This work was accomplished through various fellowships and internships, including the New Jersey Senate, the Bipartisan Policy Center, and the House of Representatives. At EAC, Garin is focused on examining exemplar policies and programs in other states related to acquisition of flood prone properties that may be replicable to New Jersey and on supporting a new project examining international approaches to intersecting community-based climate action with health equity goals that may replicable to the U.S. Prior to beginning his studies at the Bloustein School, he spent a decade in New York City working in the technology industry as a graphic designer and product consultant. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Integrated Marketing Communications from Ithaca College in Ithaca, NY, and a Master of Public Policy from the Bloustein School.
