360° Info Session: Energy Afterlives
Join Selby Hearth, Jose Vergara, and Joel Schlosser to learn about their Fall 360° exploring how the extraction of coal, oil, and nuclear energy affect surrounding communities.
Applications due April 5.
What comes in the wake of energy extraction? This cluster will examine the afterlives of coal, oil, and nuclear energy through the lenses of the arts, political science, and earth science. In the arts course, students will consider how these three energy sources give shape to our lives in countless ways by exploring their place in literature, music, photography, creative nonfiction, and art. This approach will allow students to examine the personal, human elements of energy and extraction and their aftereffects. In the science course, through readings, specimen analyses, field sampling, and lab work, students will assess the geologic conditions under which these three energy sources form - and the long-term environmental consequences of their extraction. In the political science course, students will examine how communities have organized around places and responded to the afterlives of energy extraction. Learn more and apply at the link below.
