About the Session
This session combines two experiences: a taster lecture from Johns Hopkins SAIS faculty and an information session about the MA in Sustainable Energy (online) program.
The taster lecture gives you a sample of what learning in the program is like. Jonas Nahm will talk about “Power Politics: The Trump Administration and the Future of the Energy Transition”. This lecture offers a timely overview of recent developments in U.S. energy policy under the Trump administration. With a focus on trade tariffs, domestic energy markets, and broader implications for the global energy transition, the session will provide a critical assessment of where we stand today. This is an exclusive live-only event — it won’t be available to watch later.
Before the talk, we'll cover key program details. You'll hear from faculty and an enrollment specialist about the curriculum and application process. The session concludes with an open Q&A.
