    Analysis of American Passenger Rail: Expansion into Rural Georgia
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020) Cohen, Sophia A.
    This paper analyzes the historical and social impacts of American passenger rail to highlight a solution to lacking connectivity and transportation options for rural Georgians. Rural Georgians need a lasting and adequate solution to the issue of lacking access to jobs, healthcare, and neighboring areas. Supplemented by Van services that ineffectively address the core issue of an inexistent reliable transportation system, the creation of a passenger rail line utilizing existing freight tracks along the Atlanta, Macon, Savannah route would encompass and serve the surrounding rural communities. Analyzing the specific actions for federal, state, and municipal governments to take, there is data supporting the substantial benefits passenger rail can have on the rural areas as well as urban areas by decreasing commuting traffic in urban centers.

    Knowledge Kills Action: Why Principles Should Play a Limited Role in Policy-making
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-03-06) Holbrook, J. Britt ; Briggle, Adam
    This essay argues that principles should play a limited role in policy-making. It first illustrates the dilemma of timely action in the face of uncertain unintended consequences. It then introduces the precautionary and proactionary principles as different alignments of knowledge and action within the policy-making process. The essay next considers a cynical and a hopeful reading of the role of these principles in public policy debates. We argue that the two principles, despite initial appearances, are not all that different when it comes to formulating public policy. We also suggest that allowing principles to determine our actions undermines the sense of autonomy necessary for true action.

    Peer Review of Team Science Research
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-10) Holbrook, J. Britt
    This paper explores how peer review mechanisms and processes currently affect team science and how they could be designed to offer better support for team science. This immediately raises the question of how to define teams. While recognizing that this question remains open, this paper addresses the issue of the peer review of team science research in terms of the peer review of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research. Although the paper touches on other uses of peer review, for instance, in promotion and tenure decisions and in program evaluation, the main issue addressed here is the peer review of team science research in the context of the review of grant proposals.
