Jock Herron is a design critic at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, where he has taught for the past decade in the Masters in Design Engineering program, a joint initiative with Harvard’s School of Engineering and Applied Science. Over the past three decades, Herron has co-managed family farms (grains, solar, timber, conservation) in southern Ohio and has long admired COA’s focus on local agriculture. A resident of both Cambridge and Somesville, he chaired the American Antiquarian Society, the Cambridge Center for Adult Education, and the Worcester Foundation for Biomedical Research and— in an earlier life—spent twenty years in finance based in New York, Tokyo, and London.
