Cultures of Energy

177 - Recentering Energy Justice


Listen Later

We give Mexican President AMLO a piece of our minds on this week's podcast for doubling down on extractivist petronationalism. Then (15:43) Cymene and Dominic report back from the "Recentering Energy Justice" symposium at UC Santa Barbara, which was the culminating event of UCSB's Mellon Foundation funded Sawyer Seminar on "Energy Justice in Global Perspective" (https://energyjustice.global.ucsb.edu/about). We sit down with the project leads, Javiera Barandarian and Mona Damluji, together with their colleagues, Stephan Miescher, David Pellow, Emily Roehl and Janet Walker (https://energyjustice.global.ucsb.edu/people) to process the event and what they learned about energy justice along the way. We talk about the need to look to the Global South and indigenous communities for guidance in pursuing programs of energy justice, and the importance of connecting to Santa Barbara as ancestral Chumash land, as a petrocultural space and as a site of environmental disaster. We move from there to the ethical questions of conceptualizing justice cross time and space and the roles that scholar-activism and pedagogy can play in fostering meaningful collaborations concerning energy and environmental justice issues that can move toward true consent relations. We close on what they would do if the Mellon Foundation were (wink, wink) to magically re-up their funds for another year.
