Abstract
Description
Insight Grant funded in 2017. the world of the present is a 'Petroculture', where cultural, economic, ideological, legal and political relationships --locally and globally-- have been shaped by oil and its networks of power. Energy transition demands social transformation. This research is driven by two ideas: 1) the future will be shaped by those who are able to imagine it. 2) feminist and inclusive thinkers interested in equity, under whatever name they go by, should be shaping that future. Feminists of all genders, and stories and cultural production of all forms, are critically important to imagining less carbon intensive and socially just futures, as we power-down. Using feminist intersectional theories and qualitative methods, the project will record and create an archive of energy transition texts (stories, video, art, textiles, artefacts), analyze how feminists' outputs and marginalized women's social reproduction may be mobilized to shift public perceptions toward more equitable imaginaries of our collective energy future.
