| Don Sienkiewicz is a student at Northeastern University School of Law. He lives in Maynard, Massachusetts with his wife Katja and their two children, Eleanor Naomi, age two, and Elias Emerson, age two months. They enjoy canoeing on the Assabet River, walking in the woods, and gardening. They are also longtime members of the Philosophy Foundation.
Don grew up in Washington, D.C. After high school and a stint in the military he moved to Boston for college, where he studied environmental policy and economics, and was active in a student environmental advocacy group. After college he spent four years out West where he and Katja worked with troubled teens in therapeutic wilderness programs. Don spent another year teaching high school biology in Concord, Massachusetts before beginning law school at Northeastern University.
Don is interested in city and town design, and particularly in thinking through the legal, economic, and ethical structures that determine land use and development patterns. Our ideas about property rights, community, and "the good life" determine the legal and economic framework we create to allow us to fulfill our collective desires. Don would like to understand clearly what these ideas are and how they might be shaped to give rise to a more humane and sustainable built environment. Don intends to practice real estate and land use law. |
