Aprašymas

While scientists and engineers working towards more efficient modes of energy extraction, developing alternative energies, and mitigating the harms of fossil fuels draw the most headlines, the human side of the equation of equally important when discussing the past, present, and future of energy. Energy systems are inherently social systems, and the ways that people make sense of energy in their lives, what they interpret as insecurity, and what they perceive as injustice, is not always the same.

Energy Security, Energy Sovereignty, Energy Justice brings together a multidisciplinary group of scholars to explore key questions, including: how are humans implicated in exploitation and energy transition? Who wins and who loses when we exploit new energy sources? Is the change involved in energy transition simply a matter of developing better technologies, or do we also need a change in thinking, one which draws upon history, literature, philosophy and the arts?

In this collection, energy scholars from the Humanities, Social Sciences and Natural Sciences as well as artists engage in transdisciplinary dialogue as they share their research and insights into the meanings of energy in our lives, both past and present. This collection provides a valuable, interdisciplinary perspective that broadens and enriches core conversations about energy and human life.
