Maddock Thomas
Maddock is a member of the class of '26 hoping to concentrate in Critical Theory and Political Economy alongside Urban Studies. As a Stone Fellow, he is continuing his research on public ownership of the railroads. The project is being carried out in association with Railroad Workers United. This research will culminate in a White Paper (and potentially a book) that traces the history of public rail ownership in the US, outlines the structural issues with our rail system today, compares foreign rail systems, and suggests an optimal public rail model for the US in the 21st century. After college, Maddock hopes to either pursue a PhD or work in public transportation to help revive American passenger rail service.
