About Me:
I reside in Burlington, Vermont with my wife Hollie.
I have taught in the Anthropology Department at the University of Vermont, and am currently on the graduate faculty with an adjunct position in the Master of Public Administration Program. I am the director of Public Policy programs at the Snelling Center for Government where I oversee issue research for state agencies and the legislature and design public engagement processes.
In my spare time I serve as a consultant to a GEF (Global Environmental Facility) project that is an 8-nation demonstration project setting up model health care waste management projects. I have studied waste practices in a number of countries and have an ongoing interest in all the issues related to production and disposal of waste materials.

Heritage II
Open Forum on Uses of Language in Public Policy
CHAIR: HEYMAN, Josiah (U Texas-El Paso)
The focus will be the ways that formal, policy oriented language articulates with communities, scholars, and other language communities in the policy process (that is, it is not a forum on the policy of language, but the language of policy).
See you in Memphis,
Joe Heyman
