David R. Bower, Ronald V. Dellums Institute for Sustainable Policy Studies

The David R. Bower, Ronald V. Dellums Institute for Sustainable Policy Studies conducts research on environmental decision making from a psycho-social point perspective. Associated with the Merritt College Environmental Management and Technology Program since 1994, ISPS was founded as a think tank after the 1980 Lectures on the Concepts of Peace on the University of California Berkeley campus hosted by Berkeley City College (then Vista College) and the Berkeley Creators Association Educational Foundation (BCAEF). BCAEF, and later ISPS, produced the Conversations series of the Sierra Club Yodeler. BCAEF hosted the 1978 David R. Brower Nobel Nominating Committee which submitted Congressman Ronald V. Dellum's nomination for Brower to the Norwegian Nobel Committee. The Institute advises the curriculum and programs at the Environmental Management and Technology Program at Merritt College in Oakland, CA. The Institue was co-founded by Robin Mark Freeman and Steven Bernard Rauh.
